Lyrics
[verse 1]
Please now.. I’m simply sick of suckas asking me to freestyle
You have mistook me as happy lookin’ at me smile
Sometimes I seem wild.. they wonder why I act like that
My own parents hate the fact that I rap..
See I always had it hidden.. they never had to know
Almost abandoned my flow I couldn’t live wit ‘em
They gave me clothes to fit in.. I tore up all their denim
Drink was poured in my mouth.. I spit it out as venom
I’m glad my parents found out..
I used to be recording when they’d gone out, I’d gone south, taking the long route..
It wasn’t supposed to be..expectations lost potency
A paradigm shift in what I chose to be
Those that were close to me didn’t get it either
Given two scenes of my mistakes..I wouldn’t edit either
Drown in the past and I’d get foolish quick..
I’m a dreamer though not to point, where I be full of shit
I can’t glare at life.. it’s at that point where I’d stall
Become stale.. until my joints all fail and I’d fall
Could give a damn if I ain’t make a hundred grand a year
I can’t let money sacrifice my plans, ya hear?
In fact it might sacrifice more than that,
It’s not for the cash.. but if it come.. cool.. if not, I won’t succumb
I’m on my own I never pleaded at church
Holding the crown of my life.. dethroned? I’ll bleed to death first
[hook]
these cats act, absurd, yo kid that’s my word
all they do is distract, my own path, on this earth
don’t regret a single day in my life since my birth
don’t care what they think, it’s fine.. just one more time
these cats act absurd, yo kid that’s my word
all they do is distract, my own path, on this earth
don’t regret a single day in my life since my birth
living life just a day at time, writing some rhymes
[verse 2]
I’ve written rhymes.. countin’ prison time
In this house of mine, beat down cuz it’s a crime to color out of line..
I’ll get up and wave to your friends like I am happy
You set up a slave.. except I’m light and I ain’t nappy..
Y’all too been brain washed.. success at an insane cost
Like me you’re forced to drink the same sauce
But chu still ain’t spit it out, I know it’s hard to flee the fitted route,
I escaped a minute.. I’m just hidden now
New to this life, so naturally kid, I still ain’t used to this..
Don’t wanna be a casualty but I’m no fugitive..
So I’m scared that I’ll be taken back,
Locked down and screwed shut.. punished due all to these pagan raps..
But it’s more than just rhymes, for which they’ll prosecute
During my cruxification.. it’s from the cross I’ll shoot...
One time, one track asked a riddle
Then a simple storyline ensued right through the middle
It told a little tale of a youth, from the ‘burbs
the failure of truth, stained his skin like a bruise...
Could he prevail like the troops, and take over?
His fate had no answer, and as he aged older
He asked himself if he broke loose, like totally
The answer was no, he had bowed down to royalty...
I just hope when I age, that I won’t mistake..
Staying in the line as wise... and die before I wake.
repeat [hook]
