Lyrics

Girl, this motherfucker's got rhythm Say am I 'posed to be dead or doin' life in prison? Just another dummy caught up in the system Unruly hooligan who belongs in Spofford Verse getting that degree at Stanford or Harvard Threatened by my work ethic, the way I speak, yo Should I be mentally weak, verse being Malik? Yo Should I be trapped in the trap? Would you prefer that? Fourth grade reading level but he knows how to rap Are you amused by our struggles? The English that's broken? The weed that I'm smokin'? The guns that I'm totin'? The drugs that I'm sellin'? No need for improvement Fuck you and who you think I should be, forward movement Melanated shrouded in complexity Brain charge shocking like 'lectricity Mouth translate happens organically The media relates it what it thinks it sees Judging steps in shoes of a path they never walked Shot down in a blaze of a phrases is how they talk Dark skinned, walk with a bot portrayed villain I'm chillin', felon down to the DNA crime willin' Subliminate their youth, hyper-sexualize their women They ain't got the strong enough hold, so they built the prisons Pumping false religions to all of these niggas' systems Every voice devoid of the truth, come on, listen (Man look at this, man look at this) Whatever will be will be Like a billionaire investin' in a nigga's dreams Certainly a head scratcher, like Pac and Big's killers' capture Or a women with the wisdom who's leadin' the way The rarity is in the rear, but never today Man, picture a PD lettin' good records play On the strength of what it is, not the finesse of your biz And your lady calls you dirty, her dirts under rugs You'll find out only if she tells you, take her kiss and hug, cuz In the answer for cancer in a prodigious kid's mind Yes, the government will fund, learning is free for everyone And from that lie, young leaders will rise, in the eyes of despair and adversity In some universe, this verse will be true Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin' But whatever's gonna be will be Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin' But whatever's gonna be will be Some will dash to the mountain, some will crawl And the weakest amongst them, they will fall But the strongest in faith, they will stand tall Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin' But whatever's gonna be will be I just wanna feel as liberated as lions in Liberia 'Cause recently my heart turned cold as Siberia 'Cause everywhere I go, bein' cold is the criteria Let's see how well you know all your Tribe trivia Green and the white, we servin' that Nigeria North side of Queens, 1-9-2 is the area This is for my dawgs from Shih Tzus to Terriers Fuck it, it's showtime, Tip, make sure they hearing you
