| Right now we’d like to continue with
|
| A composition by yours truly
|
| Another day, another dollar gone
|
| Another prayer gone
|
| Another scar to place this wish upon
|
| I sit and listen long as I sift through songs
|
| To place my burden on
|
| Hope one day the world will relate to Stalley on
|
| A gift from (?)
|
| A city where young tigers put their stripes on
|
| Hustling from sun up until the light is gone
|
| Nothing weak about them, everyone is crazy strong
|
| Look at me, nothing about me made wrong
|
| They said I left him alone
|
| I don’t come home much
|
| I stay shouting BK, its like I lost touch
|
| All I do is brag and boast
|
| When all I’m trying to do is make it better for those with no hopes
|
| Who see good athletes turn into dopes
|
| I’m out here up against the ropes for my little city
|
| So when you see me swinging in my blades
|
| Know every single one of y’all is with me
|
| So tip your plastic cups and light your haze
|
| Its for my niggas on opies
|
| Imma make sure (?) town seen better days
|
| And when it gets old, it gets old
|
| And when it gets cold, it gets cold
|
| I’m looking for those sunrays
|
| And better days, better days, better days
|
| Its sunny outside
|
| And when it gets old, it gets old
|
| And when it gets cold, it gets cold
|
| I’m looking for those sunrays
|
| And better days, better days, better days
|
| Its sunny outside
|
| We cry
|
| Then laugh at struggle
|
| Then get up
|
| Go hard
|
| Then scrape up knuckles
|
| We define hustle as crack rock
|
| In the black box
|
| And building with the mind muscle
|
| Street relics
|
| We black, whatchu trying to tell us
|
| Since slavery the mind has been rebellious
|
| Could never nail us
|
| Try and cross us
|
| Get tossed and held dust
|
| They said hell’s for us
|
| We could never see heaven
|
| Everyday I look up
|
| Shorties getting battered and cuffed up
|
| So maybe its out of reach
|
| Or maybe its just us we yelling
|
| As they try and judge us
|
| Brainwash our thinking
|
| Cause niggas ain’t really been free
|
| Thanks anyway Lincoln
|
| Tweny-eight presidents later a change gon' come
|
| At least I hope that’s what he’s really thinking
|
| And when it gets old, it gets old
|
| And when it gets cold, it gets cold
|
| I’m looking for those sunrays
|
| And better days, better days, better days
|
| Its sunny outside
|
| And when it gets old, it gets old
|
| And when it gets cold, it gets cold
|
| I’m looking for those sunrays
|
| And better days, better days, better days
|
| Its sunny outside |
