[Verse 1]
And as the beat drops .... so does my mind state
so much it seems that if i tried and i wouldn't stand straight
And as a man i gotta take what comes to my plate
and dish it out without a doubt ... cuz this is my fate
Im passionate with every word that i spit
imagin every lyric i write .. the second i touch a pen
Its all mental ... express what ive been into
at best the shit ive been though is stress plain n simple
But i continue to make moves (echo) .....
Emcee that i take to ...i shake cuz i break through
the set That i make and take apart cuz i hate you
for hating me when i had no home to come home to
And thats real talk ... From within my life
I write on white sheets with black ink and pain inside
this is my life (echo) .. you made me what i am
And The thought of you .. makes me wanna be a better man
[HOOK]
[Verse 2]
I now feel the rush ... i know you feel it to
growin up in poverty .. botherd me ... psss i'd bother you
try to live my life ... heh you dont have a clue
You couldn't stand, walk, run or try to tie these shoes
Im hip hop soul .. from head to toe...
From the top of my flesh .. to every grain in my bones
and I know My One4th soilders ... carry bulders
we smoke dojja... posted up on our corners
And thats whats hood ... and thats my life
thats why i live the way i live because "Thats Right"
at least i thought it was before i started lookin back
and seein the violence and silence always on our backs
Man my fam changed ... so much that its strange
when did it become all about money & value in things
man thats fucked up ... the way it has to be ...
cuz I cant remember the last time we were a family
