| The People’s Rapper
|
| Recording live from Flint, Michigan
|
| Where the water is poison but we still prosper
|
| Downtown thriving, still niggas gettin' slaughtered
|
| Can’t stop the hustle, though, still gotta feed our daughters
|
| We make surviving epidemics look easy
|
| Still seem so unbothered, but
|
| You niggas ain’t foolin' me with buffoonery
|
| Dudes as fake as they jewelry, trying to prove
|
| Who’s more wrapped in the cocoon of coonery
|
| Too much truth so they muted me
|
| You confused, but my views and my moves to the ones who stayed in tune bring
|
| comfort like shoes to feet
|
| Too unique, opposition is foolishly fuelin' me
|
| Shit get brutal, now you deceased
|
| I’m just spittin' eulogies to a beat
|
| Reachin' ya like a preacher, just wearin' the swag that suited me
|
| Niggas say they movin' dope
|
| But they movin' keys like computer geeks
|
| I can smell fake, y’all niggas runnin' outta bars like a jailbreak
|
| Niggas say they stackin' chips but got the stale face
|
| Boy, I’m bad like Michael Jackson with the pale face
|
| You got that «nigga, I’m about to take a L» face
|
| Never too complex, but I use my gift to the full extent
|
| Never lose my cool, I don’t live by rules, niggas too content
|
| If another man tell you how to feed your fam, nigga, you’s a bitch
|
| So I got right back on my shit, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t win, then I don’t eat; |
| anytime that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t work, then I don’t eat; |
| when they thought that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| And if we have to do this shit the hard way (hard way)
|
| Just know that I am with the shit all day
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t win, then I don’t eat; |
| anytime that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Yo, y’all not foolin' me, y’all not sucka free
|
| You’re livin' refugee, but we know misery loves company
|
| Never got too comfy, I knew nobody would come for me
|
| My soul glow even when the whole globe is trumpin' me
|
| And I’m on top of the globe, but the goal underneath a gold mine
|
| Y’all cosignin' puppets like Cousin Skee'
|
| Hot and hostile, so nobody is out of reach
|
| Most people fuckin' with the kid if they not asleep
|
| Never overpower my spiritual views
|
| I guess they want me to suggest more illiterate moves
|
| The flesh, the temple, the mental, the signature tools
|
| Knowledge is power and we out here makin' chemistry, fool
|
| I’d be a whole lot bigger if I took that advance
|
| Some niggas died for us just to have a book in our hands
|
| Never fall for it, all for the slow-motion grind
|
| Search for it and find out you had it the whole fuckin' time
|
| Let’s get at it
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t win, then I don’t eat; |
| anytime that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t work, then I don’t eat; |
| when they thought that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| And if we have to do this shit the hard way (hard way)
|
| Just know that I am with the shit all day
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t win, then I don’t eat; |
| anytime that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| If you don’t like real shit, turn it off right now
|
| I’m from where it’s a 13 year old kid
|
| Gettin' outlined in chalk right now
|
| Shit, let’s cover all the bases, from the dope fiends
|
| To the baseheads, to the teen fiends sippin' codeine
|
| Raised on Ritalin, so they take meds
|
| Now it’s automatic that they turn to addicts
|
| In these rap songs, so they gotta have it
|
| Now they got a long ass rehab bill
|
| 'fore they realize they got a habit
|
| Now wait, I’m not tryna win any awards
|
| But we sinkin' in how we thinkin', is everyone on board?
|
| I’m just makin' sure we all connected on one accord
|
| We all cool goin' in debt tryna buy shit that we can’t afford?
|
| You sure? |
| You sure? |
| You sure you sure?
|
| Grew up around lost niggas and still ain’t found the allure
|
| We be beefin' on social media, overridin' the fact we poor
|
| We be buyin' Jordans, and barely got enough gas to get to the store
|
| This shit hits to my core, since I was born, this what I’m on
|
| There’s no «picture my aura»
|
| This ain’t a performance, this is a warning, like
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t win, then I don’t eat; |
| anytime that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t work, then I don’t eat; |
| when they thought that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh!
|
| And if we have to do this shit the hard way (hard way)
|
| Just know that I am with the shit all day
|
| Huh!
|
| I don’t win, then I don’t eat; |
| anytime that I was down
|
| I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like
|
| Huh! |
