Reason |
Yeah, I got some shit I gotta say |
Check |
Since sixteen, I had big dreams, I used to keep 'em hidden |
By nineteen, shit I seen the truth up in the system |
A lot of cats I hoop with end up shooting something different |
Or just missing the ambition but the proof is in the privilege |
There’s kids I met in college only down there boozing, sniffing |
Popping new prescriptions, choosing women to abuse |
Until it’s been four years, maybe five |
So tell me why they still on corners, stop-and-frisking |
But the frat house stay unlisted |
Shit, you and I both know the reason |
It’s black, it’s white, but still the power about where the green is |
For real, and I done known a lot of dealers |
And known a lot of interns |
The main difference, hustlers get paid in the end-term |
So only passion really impress me |
Gangsters and scholars respect me so you really don’t stress me |
They get defensive when I spit but no one really could check me |
They send me traps but I move past them, no one really compress me |
And I know a lot of peers that try to act like rappers |
But they still ain’t got the heart to say that Black lives matter |
See, they came for the slang and they stayed for the drugs |
Me, I came for the knowledge and I stayed for the love |
Millions of poor kids and we teaching them the wrong way |
Think I give a fuck if Hov cheated on Beyoncé? |
Children starving, cops killing people for nothing |
But you think that I should worry bout who Rihanna be fucking? |
That’s no slight to 'em, but to the bullshit I throw AdBlock |
Pops taught me 'bout this shit back when we would slap-box |
'Cause while they show you the left, they hit you with the right |
That’s why I keep a wide perspective, so that everything’s in sight |
Was times I let the bleakness pervade everything in life |
But now I’m thinking 'bout getting better every single night |
Take the darkest of the thoughts and I try to give 'em light |
And they tried to give me pills, I just told 'em «give a mic» |
«Okay, guys, now I just came from the park, and this kid teasing me because I |
have Filas on. |
Now, mind you I am not a material person. |
I just wear Filas |
because, you know, I like the colour and I think they’re cool. |
They might not |
be what’s popular today, but you know, that’s what I like. |
So, you know, |
I told the kid, 'It's not about what I have on my feet, it’s about what I have |
inside my head. |
No matter what I’m wearing, no matter what I have on, |
it’s about my information, the knowledgeable things in life. |
These sneakers |
are not even going to fit you in 20 years from now…» |
