I existed in the midst of this,
drifting like a hyacinth,
sitting on a cesspool,
a stressful environment,
when the wrench do some vent through *** and violence,
going mental over debt,
this kinda tiresome,
this pond where we drift
is a ditch, I'm just reminding them,
you can sink deep in the abyss,
that no one's shining and no light to reflect,
so the fish are swimming blind,
yet spend all their time chasing the bait,
wasting their mind again,
may wind up a tuna steak,
fisherman is dining in, for him life is great,
and all about the finer things,
and we're just food on a plate,
the stakes is higher than 20 years ago,
when daylight's over,
so inspiring,
it's hard to
find a world to create,
barely surviving man,
as a kid that felt real out of place,
when
shots were fired,
and all types of conflicts in the hood were transpiring,
the blocks stay
hot in the hood,
we're all perspiring,
some are born to the riches,
some are born to the
wild,
got no choice in the matter,
as to when we're a howl,
then the gun cocked,
another
lost child in the wild,
while the rich sit and watch the money pass out,
some are born
to the riches,
some are born to the wild,
got no choice in the matter,
as to when we're
a howl,
then the gun cocked,
another lost child in the wild,
while the rich sit and watch
the money pass out,
I remember waiting for face to face,
with moms for eons,
feeling
so out of place,
feeling disgraced like peons,
my mind in outer space,
thinking beyond the
state of a despondent fate,
if we were on the tape,
we could reevaluate and recalculate,
the chance to make it out this place,
where they incarcerate us at an astounding rate,
I could have slept in a cage,
or a grave,
or a slave,
instead I stayed awake,
very few
made the grade where I came from,
so many feuds and pain,
that they remain numb,
and
I'm the strange deranged one,
who could feel the rain come,
before the hurricane,
I made
preparation,
but I ain't no,
or don't confuse it with Jehovah,
witness the gift toxic as
Ambrosa,
spit * to give these lost kids some closure,
that ignorance * is over
now you know because I told you,
that ignorance * is over now you know because I told you,
that ignorance * is over now you know because I told you,
reality factors and I'm also active *,
get up and lay down a dod,
the phallus is adding up,
the odds are stacking up,
betting your life on a lie,
look at the signs in front of your eyes,
people get shot over comments online,
* is absurd,
words are the tenement residents just getting how to get by,
* is for real,
kids robbing steel just for a meal,
and a co-sign,
they packing steel,
do what they feel,
willing to kill,
when it's go time,
and it's go time,
all of the time,
just let me rhyme,
when it's show time,
just let me shine,
don't bring the nine,
I'm from the grind,
now I'm on my grind,
you should be too,
you could be cool,
you could just chill,
focus on you,
build with your crew,
pay all your dues,
break a few rules,
with nothing to prove,
make your next move,
try to improve,
all of these fools is mighty confused,
spitting bullshit back to the youth in the booth,
about how they got nothing to lose,
they should wild out,
drop out of school,
cop them a tool to show on YouTube,
that's just for rubes,
I'm an adult,
most of these thugs barely got pubes,
easily dissed,
they take it too hard,
can never forget,
they make it too hard,
so they finish whatever they start,
don't yell life,
imitate art,
art,
art,
art,
Where I came from,
makes me remain numb,
I know the fate of sons,
who I was raised with,
I played some, and got played by some,
just for funs, round my way, crazy *, fiends
with talking tongues,
and the sounds of guns,
go off in more chalkers on the pavement,
we
didn't go for runs, unless running from,
a copper judge trying to enslave us, they called
it education,
but I was really phased in,
a school unto which I was born,
I was admitted
kicking,
in the womb twitching,
epigenetic systems made me transform,
on my first day,
my first birthday,
I was free to see the world as fresh and new,
but my birthplace,
it was
a cursed place,
because the country and the culture I was born to.
In the hood,
where nobody's actually starving to death,
but living with malnutrition and poverty's hardly best,
I fade as good as set,
so go ahead and place your bets,
on a slight chance to advance,
beyond the conditions meant to oppress,
that's still a secret to y'all,
I've been known that * for years,
y'all always behind the ball,
graduates never studied the system that got them there,
cause privilege is invisible to heirs,
who think it's fair,
it's like I'm from a planet,
where we breathe a different air,
polluted by the stench of class trench warfare,
you can smell it on me,
I'm not your homie,
I don't care,
Park Hill has eyes,
with a people under the stairs,
so I don't come across as
safe to closet racists,
I shake up your framework and debase your basis,
your basic,
I see the
trip that you believed in,
American hysteria is mainstream for reasons.
