| «There's a noise in my head,» last thing my father said
|
| On the side of a road then he was dead
|
| Saw my first body at seven, my friend
|
| They said he went to heaven but I remember his bite twisted
|
| Wheels still stuck in that truck hood, so yeah I don’t sleep that good
|
| Get up and roll a wood, feed the cancer in my chest
|
| Tumors killed half my family, eighties gon' take the rest
|
| Fuck I need a rest, diabetes kill more niggas than bullets
|
| Gotta get, please pull it, my aunt died waiting for a liver
|
| So I’d rather go like my cousin, I sampled the trigger
|
| Somebody murked him, left his body in the street
|
| We ain’t even know he was gon' for a week
|
| Found out auntie had a stroke, now she don’t speak
|
| Without some of my days is bleak
|
| Only thing I wonder is guns or butter
|
| Aneurisms’ll give you a stutter, or maybe some young motherfucker
|
| Is nervous during the jux, they shot Patrice ten times
|
| Ain’t even take the pocket book, cat scans and x-rays
|
| Heatseeking strays, so many done I run out of shit to say
|
| Tears long gone, why we born to catch shots and diseases
|
| I’ll come to the funeral but don’t tell me about Jesus
|
| Freddy got cut into pieces, and don’t lie, the pain never releases
|
| I buried my goddam nieces, wanna come for the nigga
|
| I need an ounce and two packs of Rizla
|
| It’s like I’m losing focus, everyday trying to write down the thoughts
|
| Feeling hopeless, trying to grow with that and then float
|
| Above all the bullshit, that’s why we pull spliffs
|
| Going through this everyday, that’s why we trying to get our pennies up
|
| Everybody trying to get hennied up ‘cause it’s like
|
| We don’t give a what, and I’m just trying to spit for my brothers
|
| Living in struggles, just trying to get on, always trying to rubble
|
| You know when the cut strike an infection
|
| What starts attack the vein as we rush through the coldness
|
| And hold this close to the heart, every time I write
|
| Trying to throw the dart with the aim, you know
|
| How we hold it down flowing, everyday trying to go on
|
| Trying to grow on, trying to flow, never wrong
|
| And we so close to getting there, but everybody still living in fear
|
| And I’m just trying to get through these years
|
| It’s 2000-and-tree, everybody light it up
|
| Everybody get lit up, that’s for the culture
|
| Yeah, zom-blaze, Megallah, how we represent
|
| Looking at the stars, everyday getting high
|
| Why, ‘cause it’s like yo soon gonna die
|
| And I’m trying to understand that in a spiritual way
|
| It’s like I’m closer to God, anyway so
|
| Yo everybody clap your hands
|
| Everybody just clap you hands and understand
|
| Why you live, why you give what we got
|
| Blowing the pot, you know why you give what we got
|
| Blowing a pot, you know why you live
|
| Blowing the pot, yeah hip-hop
|
| That’s what we live for, for real |
