Lost Cause |
Yeah I came here on a ship but I flew out on a plane |
Trade these shackles and a whip for some status and a name |
And the hassle’s still the same, and my ticket’s still in coach |
And my seat is near the toilet, guess this shit won’t ever change |
What’s a black suppose to do, sell some crack and entertain? |
Get a bachelor in some bullshit and a job below my aim? |
I was shooting for the star, they’re shootin' rockets at the moon |
Reach in my pockets for my keys, the cop is reachin' for the tools |
If you can see me on the news, I hope that’s cuz I’m on a roll |
Tryna keep me on a leash but I ain’t out here on parole |
Yeah I’m free to go, freedom reign, free them chains, freedom fries |
Free to try, only thing promised to me is a free demise |
This is why my hustle strong, I grew up watching Huxtables |
My mamma grew up watching kids, her mamma grew up washing clothes |
Overcomin' obstacles, way before doctor Martin spoke |
Barack can’t give me hope, mamma gave me that 'fore her aqua broke. |
Yea |
I’m not a lost cause, I am a far cry |
But I can still call and get involved, I |
Ain’t out here with no sign, I’m looking for one in the streets |
Now marching to that drum but we still ridin' to that beat |
Yeah we still riding to that beat |
Your feeling’s in my soul |
And I can only struggle like my kinfolk did before |
Stride it, ride, and oh yeah we on a roll |
Ain’t nuttin gonna stop me, I ain’t out, I’m in control |
Oh yeah, let’s go |
My brother saw enough blood, no decision I don’t |
Three Gs in my closet, that’s what made me cold |
My daddy gone by 12, started stealing my clothes |
I was put behind that cell and next thing you know |
My grandma had my bail |
She said «Son, better’s you go» |
I said «I ain’t going no way grandma, I ain’t have no dope» |
I shoulda called you so, my problem’s wrong for sure |
And something in my soul said we gotta go |
When I went like, we got to, we got, we got to go |
The motherfucker we got the dope |
Better be out, come on |
We got to roll, we bout to blow |
'mon brother, we Al Capone |
We got to, we got to, we got to go |
Yall wanna be there, come on |
Yall wanna be there, we’ll be there |
We should hope we never ever |
End the day till the mothafuckin eon |
We don’t want these people to roll |
Then some are D I suppose |
Yall n*ggas be out the polls |
Before the revolution got to beat out, seed out, weed out the ho’s |
Pull it stick it in three of them holes |
Through DC I propose |
Then I get you with phonetic |
Come and take your head, leave out the toes |
Wouldn’t leave me out the cause, this my cause |
This is a call to them folks who got hopes high |
They heard a lot of things, believe when seen with my own eyes |
Hell yeah got drive and that’s the reason I drove wild |
But no one’s living slow so I switch the pace up one more time |
Now I’m tryin to get it to the point where my kids' kids can live it up |
So I’m taking it’s overrated, if you wanna change you gotta give it up |
And yeah you love to hear the story, feel it’s raw for your drums |
Beat through each lung, old and young and now we overcome |
Each one, teach one (I'm about that) |
Buildin' them bridges (I'm about that) |
Expanding our vision (I'm about that) |
Switch up your decisions if you want an outcome that’s different (I'm about |
that) |
Head up, fed up, scared enough and isn’t, best believe (I'm about that) |
Passing on tradition and reaching soul for the seeds (I'm about that) |
All out, long ride, the very last one to roll out |
That’s sauerkraut, pouting over losses, just the wrong route |
Me kicking that rhyme and just like that picket sign |
From '79 until the now, the clock ticking it’s time, for Y |
