Lyrics

For kids remembering stalled memories
Walled-in by penitentiaries
Convinced the end will be these halls, where all men are sent eventually
Who wonder is existence worth the skin it’s printed on
The undereducated never made it much less finished strong
Do you really believe that, when the guns are drawn?
Street cats’ll react like you sung their songs
When they punch the clock, run stunts from cops
Break laws, take off, make the hunger stop?
Punk thug runners of guns, drugs, numbers
Back street tag teams, blunt-drunk youngsters
Cats be crack fiends, athletes, rap dreams
You live that big fat and happy
I’ve been black sheep, roughed up by tough love and setbacks
Got an ex-stepdad and no clue where old dude rests his head at
Useless student in the true sense whose blueprints proved a nuisance
Never fit the rubric, so with each movement I slipped to loose ends
A cute two cents, but truly not them
You got a job, friends, school, tools, options
Them? Problems, futures locked in
Subdued by rotten, food, booze, toxins
Heed this caution when preaching doctrine
Cuz their top ten don’t see the God-sent
Forgot Rakim, knock H to the Izzo
So go home dox and escape to your zip code
