| It doesn’t help that I have to perform miracles
|
| Before I get the recognition that my peers get shown
|
| I remember they told me, «Spit it in a clearer tone
|
| You too raspy, youngin', you sound too old»
|
| But I live in a place where people’s dreams go to die
|
| So excuse me if I have wrinkles on my brow or under my eyes
|
| My momma found truth in her stomach amongst some of the lies
|
| Gettin' raped by a close friend could fuck up your life
|
| But some good could come in disguise
|
| There’s quite a thin line between love and despise
|
| I touch in her thighs, she feels the numb in her spine
|
| I’m fuckin' her mind, havin' a threesome, making love to a crime
|
| This is the year of the plentiful
|
| The successful career of a criminal
|
| When the monk priest decides it’s time to hit the road
|
| The Saturday when the Rabi decides to lift a load
|
| Flipping through vogue, skipping a few stones through the sea
|
| The lack of a healthy fear like, what could God do to me?
|
| I move with ease through the things people usually hoot and scream about
|
| Lose they dreams about, decide to choose an easier route
|
| We need a drought just so we can know we need the clouds
|
| We need a jury just so we can go and beat the trial
|
| Feet in the Nile from all the salt these niggas speakin' out
|
| They writin' checks they can’t cash, I had to freeze accounts
|
| Greasy mouths, the type a friends to hit the weed and bounce
|
| I studied horticulture just so I could weed them out
|
| The bitch niggas that get beat up, go home and beat they spouse
|
| We don’t all participate, but at least we allow
|
| I like my car parked up the block
|
| Take my tech deck out and keep me doors locked
|
| Cause these kids throw rocks in
|
| These kids don’t got aim
|
| I have to flow
|
| 10 times harder than these Seattle cats
|
| Who make albums out of battle raps
|
| They niggas snitch on em an then they tattle back
|
| It’s sad, they use up more of the drugs that they have then they’ve ever trapped
|
| I front em a pack and I never ask for the cheddar back
|
| Cus they must need it
|
| Rehab is above they budget cap
|
| I wish there was a law that only Real Niggas could fuckin rap
|
| They mug at me I’m buckin back
|
| Whoops there goes another strap
|
| Fuckin Raz
|
| You Fuckin right, I Fuckin spazz
|
| I was taught never shoot a shot with a shaking hand
|
| Glad I had an absent father, not an angry dad
|
| Being a bastard child never made me mad
|
| You have to be sitting down or laying down ta take a stand
|
| I’m knocking on pearly gates
|
| Standin on golden floors
|
| The demons are scared to say my name;
|
| Voldemort
|
| Hold a sword
|
| Go to war
|
| Chop a neck wit no remorse
|
| Then preened I give a fuck when I go ta court,
|
| Deep wounds, —
|
| Strangled souls with open sores
|
| I did what any D boy does when they close the ports an shit
|
| Resorted to more resourcefulness
|
| Extortionist, turn a rich man to a contortionist |
