Lyrics
verse 1:
I’m like that Cochise dude of the south/
get ya pens; get ya pads, proceeds - lets dual it out/
or we can take it to Book and build/
yall don’t see that Prolif’s about more than just some hooks and frills/
yall don’t see the struggle cuz I conceal it/
dawg, I’m from a single parent home – I got some stuff that I deal wit/
yall don’t see the baggage that I be brangin’/
when I spit that double A flow, but now it’s like my battery’s draining/
cuz i been weary since the minimal age/
but I can’t afford to fail cuz my brother’s making minimum wage/
and my mom’s been working since she was 20/
yo that’s 35 years and still aint got no expenditure money/
all we got is just some scrapes and bruises/
and a few scars, so we trust God and keep it faithfully moving/
what ya’ll see is what ya’ll get – I aint faking a movie/
give ya’ll a closer look and then I take my place in this movement/
hook:
What ya’ll see when ya’ll look at Prolif?/
Is it the Giver ya’ll, or is it the gift?/
“that cocky dude that makes the rooks wanna quit”/
That’s what ya’ll see when ya’ll look at Prolif?/
What ya’ll see when ya’ll look at Prolif?/
Is is the Giver ya’ll, or is it the gift?/
“Aiyo that dude don’t rep the hood when he spit”/
That’s what ya’ll see when ya’ll look at Prolif?/
verse 2:
look I been through it, at times I cry and I laugh/
I had a girl cheat, she thought she was a dime and a half/
and yeah I know a little pain, so this is not a façade/
and had some bills accumulate when I was out of a job/
ya’ll don’t see the many tears that be falling/
and it’s so hard to walk right, when all you knew for years was crawling/
can ya’ll relate to this musical cuz I hate the usual/
fam dying, - I’m sick of going to wakes and funerals/
trying to bench press this weight off my chest/
but I need a spotter, or a dollar or a few of’em to pay off my debts/
all ya’ll see is the gear and the swag/
I’m more than just an emcee, or them dudes ya’ll see in the mag/
that’s why I try to put my life in the song/
ya’ll don’t see that I’m even breaking down as I’m writing this song/
but it wont be long til yall hooked and believing/
just look deeper than my surface ya’ll, cuz looks are deceiving/
hook x 2:
