Şarkı sözleri
[Verse 1]
Yeah, negativity, but they pickin' me everyday
While **** whinin', I'm out crushin' my fire grapes
A good space, frame of mine, till y'all came
They said to drag my naysayers, Shanaynay
[Verse 2]
Uh, Stevie Wonder had them vision problems
Mr. Wonder, my twenty twenties can't see tomorrow
You twenty-something, this block is jumpin' like Vietnam
Is Mama B with the need or the more negro or tied up
[Verse 3]
Ain't no hope for a young ****
Ain't no gold for a young ****
Uh, too short for a sport ****
**** horrific, we glorifyin' them drug dealers
[Verse 4]
Yeah, so where your keys at playboy?
I sling hyperboles at a warp speed
Usain Bolt, my negro, ready, set, bang, go
Throw it out my face, nothin' the bank don'
[Verse 5]
I paint for 'em, they lame on it, I paint more
Ain't showin' the same love, tryin' to think through it
I must influence some better music, let the hate show up
When 'Le show up, we make noise, that they can't ignore it
[Verse 6]
This cold poet just throw up quotables to give 'em hope
And go on, slow up, haters train of thoughts with brain storms
We all **** with dreams, whether music or ball
Whether hoopin', a song or simply pursuing 'em all
[Verse 7]
Since Paint a Picture, I been on a mission
Comin' from the district, everything but monumental
I ain't gotta mention all the little flaws
Where's the stairs, it's the boy, find it hard to follow politicians
[Verse 8]
And they Marion Barry, I have Berry Sanders
Never wanna be gangsta, put them dirty pads up
The man route, try and get my parents out
**** a stash spot, I was mastering the slant route
[Verse 9]
Fly Route, I write, double write out
Since the rhyme route, whole city takin' my route
Takin' my route
Tell these **** that it's my house
[Verse 10]
Black hero
Ain't no black heroes
Ain't no hope for a young ****
Ain't no goals for a young ****
Too short for a sport ****
It gets horrific, we glorifyin' them drug dealers
[Verse 11]
Ain't no goals for a young ****
Too short for a sport ****
It be horrific, we glorifyin' them drug dealers
Ain't no goals for a young ****
Too short for a sport ****
Still we all gifted
[Verse 12]
And we all gifted, uh-huh
And we all
And we all, and we all, and we all
Yeah
And we all gifted
And we all, and we all, and we all, and we all
Yeah
And we all
And we all, and we all
[Verse 13]
And I wrote this album without a care in the world
But the outcome as long as it's an outpouring
**** came out their downfall like an overblown round ball
Before my sound off
[Verse 14]
Or maybe this music'll inspire a future mountain mover or two
And if I ever rush more music out to you to know
That I'm overworkin' myself 'cause my heart and mind into it
Ain't been a black hero since Robert Townsend, so
From me to your man, I hope you found something profounded enough
To expand before the sound folds us
'Fore the sound folds us
