| I’m focused on trying to stay focused
|
| In '06 I dealt with some blows now the process
|
| Of sorting thru these ghosts can feel hopeless
|
| Its bogus but it still gets under the skin like osmosis
|
| Yo this world’s so sick
|
| Like ne-yo's hit o folks with no OHIP
|
| Don’t slip
|
| Know who the staff you roll with is Your staff can turn to snakes like moses'
|
| And motives get exposed quick
|
| When cash is grossed so don’t trip
|
| No sum is worth what your soul is No sun immersed in the coldness
|
| No son, reverse like the poles
|
| Get past the bitterness out the standstill
|
| It wasn’t in the cards
|
| Some ppl can’t deal
|
| Play the hand youre dealt
|
| Might make a grand still
|
| A man’s real if we can return like grant hill
|
| Those that know shad know that hes on his own path
|
| Like a nomad rolling without a roadmap
|
| Just 4 lads in a topaz with no gas
|
| I call my car rocafella cuz its got a broke dash
|
| My generation’s movin so fast
|
| Runnin like old taps
|
| From fear and stress and tears choked back
|
| Boys hold gats while the girls got no strap
|
| On their dresses and wont eat 'less its low-fat
|
| Between low-cut tops and teeth with gold caps
|
| That new school look’s more crazy than OCAD’s
|
| When theres no dads to say don’t show that
|
| Make em look in your eyes, your mind’s where the show’s at And you need more than beats for a dope track
|
| Even with more hooks than a coat rack
|
| And more hot lines than 1−800 phones
|
| That’s why most cats in this rap game just don’t last
|
| Its not vocab they need to grow its go nads
|
| And back bone so they can speak and not hold back
|
| We need folks with faith that’s gon last
|
| To teach the younger ones how to live with no mask
|
| And pose the kind of questions that most just wont ask
|
| And keep that hope stashed like a safe of cold cash
|
| Our vision for the future cnt fade or go black
|
| Like some Kodak pictures at night with no flash
|
| Them cats be pollutin the air like smoke stacks
|
| Let the freshness in get your windows cracked |
