To Kill A Shadow |
All I respect is money bro |
That shit just trying to get this paper |
You know what I mean |
I ain’t got nothing else |
All I got is time on my. |
time |
Yo |
Time on my mind with not a second to spare |
Want everybody from the ghetto to be a millionaire |
But to get that guap they gotta earn it |
Egos, they got to burn it |
Divide and conquer, gotta unlearn it |
We living in the days where the killers like prey |
Lions in my eyes they behead us for the pay |
We protest against yay |
With God we might’ve had it right, but godless I stay |
Born here, raised here, summers in J-A |
Get up at the same time getting money every day |
Mr. Officer we got the ears of the youth |
Staring at a king, I guess I would be afraid too |
How to kill a shadow is to shine a lot of light (shine a lot of light) |
People in every ghetto, you gotta know you’ll be alright |
So hold on, better days are here, my friend (better days) |
Only thing to fear is fear itself |
That’s where you’ll live (where you’ll end up) |
So hold on |
Africa, mother to civilization |
Hundred kids mobbin' out at Kennedy Station |
Unaware that they’re the descendants of Moses |
I gotta revitalize the hood 'fore my eye closes |
Young G’s please turn your cheek to the posers |
The OG’s suffers through the rightful and hoeses |
The clubs to the head so we can throw monies |
Sniff coke, pop pills to drop out and talk funny |
Every February you revolutionary as soon as march hit blow the whistle, |
back on the market |
Selling street stories make my brother the target |
Putting god first when you on the red carpet |
Each one, teach one, love your neighborhood |
But love the people more, we steady misunderstood |
I heard gunshots echo at the peace rally |
Why I’m a POI, what a burden to carry |
Depressin', stressin', underachieving |
Life make you question what you believe in |
People that you know become strangers, when money comes |
Unfamiliar actions when the money run low, everybody gone yeah |
Where the ghetto money though? |
It’s just you and got bills and your tax debts |
Profits you think you made, the IRS hasn’t taxed yet |
The system works for the hands of the architects |
Ultimately we prosper, no matter the hurdle |
Prove yourself with the actions and never the verbal |
Men cheat, women lie, numbers get doctored |
Stand tall, and be careful who you rock with |
So hold on |
