| I’m the last of a extinct breed
|
| I came from nothing, where ain’t no future in fronting
|
| Nigga, respect Breed
|
| Now through these lyrics I’mma take you through a place
|
| Where every day is a fight to survive and stay alive
|
| Could put this shit on pay-per-view
|
| Could never cater to a hater’s view
|
| Cause in your face a nigga’s smiling
|
| You walk away and he hating you
|
| I’m hater-proof, you can’t imagine what I seen in store
|
| Keep acting, my city raw; |
| you ever seen a scene from Saw?
|
| That’s how it play out -- you niggas is Pee-wee's Playhouse
|
| Thinking the hood is cool; |
| we trying to get out and stay out
|
| Cause when the war break out, you niggas’ll Harlem Shake out
|
| Flint niggas sitting in front of your crib like a stakeout
|
| It’s, more than music, this life, I get enthusiastic
|
| I just became used to it and tried to use my influence
|
| To make the hood wake up from yellow tape and wakes
|
| We got no time to make up, but it’s never too late
|
| It’s a war 'round here, it’s getting real for my real niggas
|
| Look in that man’s eyes, see who on the battlefield with ya
|
| Look to yourself when nobody else real with ya
|
| And stay true to your folks, when you down they gon' be still with ya
|
| We gotta get, get, get it, we all in
|
| So we take, take, take it, we all in
|
| Gotta get, get, get it, we all in
|
| So we take, take, take it, we all in
|
| Look, I’m from where bitches never satisfied, kids got the saddest eyes
|
| Cause mom still a kid inside, and their hopes for a dad expired
|
| I know the story of hopeless and homeless broken
|
| And you can only be open with teachers and (?)
|
| That’s best scenario, but other than that
|
| There ain’t nowhere to go but in the room and turning up the stereo
|
| Y’all ready for that real shit again, ain’t you?
|
| Well this’s as real as it is and you can hear it, can’t you?
|
| We grind hard just to grind harder, tryna be ballers
|
| Either vent for Shawn Carter. |
| Who we? |
| A part of this
|
| A new beginning or the same ending without change
|
| We gon' recycle the same conditions, now pay attention
|
| No blood on my hands, if you get in the spot
|
| If you feeling what I’m saying then y’all should put 'em high
|
| High, for the world and peace, to the drama
|
| It’s a war 'round here and Osama can’t crack my armor
|
| So who ride and who getting it with me? |
| Then get em up
|
| You ain’t doing, you talking about it, that ain’t enough
|
| I’m pushing the envelope nigga, fuck a nudge
|
| I’m focused on getting up, who fucking with me? |
| You fucking up
|
| I’m tired of seeing niggas that beef over bitches tied
|
| Or women that’s beefing over these ain’t-shit niggas, ha
|
| The preachers, preachers say that it’s all about unity
|
| Usually these niggas live better than half the community
|
| Holla, how you gon' be the one that I’m 'posed to follow
|
| 'Posed to be all 'bout the people but really all 'bout the dollar
|
| Look I’m, tired of racism, ain’t nothing but hating
|
| I’mma preach it to y’all, 'till y’all done brought out the medicine
|
| Girls getting called out they name, and getting mad by it
|
| But niggas wouldn’t call you a ho, if you ain’t act like it
|
| Look, I’m just hoping these words reach you
|
| The People’s Rapper still doing it for the people |
