Perseverance

Machang it's March madness I got a little hood ratness Head full of dreams Mind full of schemes College degrees didn't come along So we challenged the whole game Made you suckas have a sing along So here's a dollar for your mind And some Yen for your dreams Back then we used to run the whole street Onto the city Brought the whole gang with me When a homie dies make sure you ink up your sleeve The whole hood believes we're here for a better cause Unlike that fake shit that you bought Now don't forget that we're role models to these kids Man you fucked the world up now wanna hand it to these kids Glorified a lone sailor Promoted till he whipping But never told him that the ship was sinking Now he shows up at shows to listen Said, Kakes, the real world is in the plain tea I'm sipping Far along the road I've seen the changes Felt the pain inside Though be drown still we try That's some advice Always keep it to your roots and I'm sure you'll get by No point of fast lane living if you can't have a life And so I keep Puffing on this chemical weed Walking down the street Look at the world and I weep Two stepping down the hallway Hard work pays But my hearts been through too much of shit to sit down and obey And so I spray True feelings on paper Hoping it pays of later Had the feeling that the haters would turn up their fake status Stage has been set since we were sixteen Five years later we're slaying the coast and everything in between Far along the road I've seen the changes Felt the pain inside Though we drown still we try The stage has been set since we were sixteen Five years later we're slaying the coast and everything in between I'm sure everyone agrees Far along the road I've seen the changes Felt the pain inside Though we drown still we try
