| It was all a dream
|
| But I never read Word Up! |
| magazine
|
| Maybe a lil' Dr. King
|
| You either choose to ballot a bullet or octagon a ring
|
| Praying for success like a fiend
|
| Looking up stress, holy books layin' cross my chest
|
| I’m just tryna give 'til nothing’s left
|
| Only way we ever part is death
|
| And when I lay in rest, as long as people know I tried my best
|
| No one is above the laws of god, sometimes life is a facade
|
| Will the pay ever add up to the job?
|
| 'Cause all the time I see is a lot of sufferin'
|
| Runnin' my people into the ground over a little nothin'
|
| Now our own peoples do the most harm to us
|
| We even kill each other turf that don’t belong to us
|
| We drink big but fall short, what is this?
|
| I’m just tryna see another side of the business
|
| In this world it’s hard askin' for help
|
| When the poverty hit below the belt
|
| So it’s just best to do for self, and stay to self, can we progress like that?
|
| All the knowledge I receive I try to give right back
|
| While I just lay out facts, you got whack ass raps
|
| Tellin' lies on wax. |
| I despise those cats

| It’s hell on earth, but it’s paradise too
|
| So many snakes with the parasite flu
|
| Lookin' at the god like you doing something new
|
| It ain’t my problem you dudes can’t handle the truth
|
| Like you was the only nigga thuggin' before the stoop
|
| Like you was the only nigga livin' up in the zoo
|
| Like you was the only nigga but you don’t got a clue
|
| So I was the only nigga that grew
|
| So show some respect
|
| Those niggas crave to put some chains on ya neck
|
| Put up a bet, niggas that do it for the fame and the check
|
| Your move was off balance, see no entry in my palace
|
| I’m putting stars on niggas heads like Dallas
|
| I got ghetto dreams, got heat to settle themes
|
| Cause only cash is king when you play the mezzanine
