Free People |
Without a name, ohhh, what a shame |
But now here we are … |
Yeah, this how it started, the beginning it was me alone |
It’s '09, I look around, it’s me alone |
Huh, no «Love Jones», No Nia Long |
And my kids still askin «are we there yet? |
Did we make it to the top dad?» |
«My bad |
We just made it to the middle, gettin paid a little |
So you know what that means, y’all could play a little |
But I still gotta work a lot, close the locks» |
Niggaz see me on the tube, they think I’m worth a lot |
And if they try to take y’all, I’m gonna murk the block |
Pull out and squirt the block, hurt the block |
I don’t care if I alert the cops, call the S.W.A.T. |
When I blast, bodies drop like Pilates class |
Throw on the mask, then I palm the glock |
If y’all niggaz try to hide, I’m a find ya ass |
We are people, who’ve been tried through time |
Rejected by society (I'm tempted) |
Left to wander deaf, dumb and blind (know what I mean) |
We know the depth of darkness, ignorance’s shame |
(How I’m supposed to react?) |
A people lost without a name (uh huh) |
Without a name, ohh, what a shame |
But now here we are … |
Here we are, face to face, we didn’t grow with no silver spoons |
Hopin to find, a strip we can grind on |
A connect we can rely on, my God |
Philly Freezer used to hustle on the block |
Listenin to songs on the tape deck before the iPod |
Yeah, some niggaz used to grind hard |
While other niggaz used to take checks |
Niggaz that grind had it out with the cops |
Niggaz that took checks, faced a quick death |
They was shootin out 'til not a clip left |
Wind up goin out in a box |
And I wind up rollin out in a box Porsche |
'Lo sport from the shorts to the socks to the shirt |
Yeah, I’m gonna make this rap thing work, watch |
We are people (that's right), who’ve been tried through time |
(Trials and tribulations) |
Rejected by society |
Left to wander deaf, dumb and blind (just wakin up) |
We know the depth of darkness |
(Goin through your normal day is a trial) |
Ignorance’s shame (it's all a test) |
A people lost (from God) without a name (you gotta find yourself) |
Without a name, ohh, what a shame (that's right) |
But now here we are … |
