That was me in BK on Atlantic |
| [00:39.14] |
Never looked both ways, ran in traffic |
| [00:41.19] |
Pops went away but I stayed, vagrant |
| [00:43.51] |
Placed where the steel and cement became nature |
| [00:45.55] |
Love what you did with the place, it looks gorgeous |
| [00:48.01] |
Cityscape where the blood of good men courses |
| [00:50.31] |
And the dreamers are bull trapped in porcelain |
| [00:52.60] |
Take a knee to the gods and get horse shit |
| [00:54.95] |
Wanna live for the thrill? They'll arrange it |
| [00:57.00] |
Got a bevy of imps to spit hatred |
| [00:59.43] |
Shit'll get in your head and cause panic |
| [01:01.69] |
Have you desperately begging to get famous |
| [01:03.98] |
Get your dignity dirty and left orphaned |
| [01:06.18] |
Sanity on the fringe of distorted |
| [01:08.39] |
Who are they to just take shit and hoard it? |
| [01:10.68] |
Who am I that I don't get my portion? |
| [01:13.58] |
The most impressionable minds |
| [01:14.60] |
Get molested and informed by manipulating forces |
| [01:17.65] |
Don't fret little man, don't cry |
| [01:19.30] |
They can never take the energy inside you were born with |
| [01:22.07] |
Knowing that, understand you could never be poor |
| [01:23.98] |
You already won the war, you were born rich |
| [01:26.64] |
You can only take the energy you had |
| [01:28.28] |
Going back to the realm or the home where your lord is |
| [01:31.08] |
Whoever, whatever that lord is |
| [01:32.98] |
Couldn't give a fuck if you ever made fortunes |
| [01:35.58] |
Fuck anyone ever tryin' to run that punk shit |
| [01:38.03] |
Send 'em to the flames where the orcs live |
| [01:40.04] |
Them and the lost minds thinking they're smarter than us |
| [01:42.49] |
Don't understand love's importance |
| [01:44.33] |
And we can weaponize that, bring 'em back to the truth |
| [01:46.81] |
Where the ashes and dust got formed in |
| [01:48.99] |
|
| [02:06.51] |
The beat breaks and your teeth break |
| [02:08.52] |
Keep your canines embedded in my knuckles as a keepsake |
| [02:11.23] |
It would seem your veneers just mere souvenirs |
| [02:13.52] |
Falling out your mouth and on to the landscape |
| [02:15.97] |
Me and El-P do the secret handshake |
| [02:18.18] |
Then I pummel punch a pumpkin head punk in his pimple face |
| [02:20.58] |
'Til he's punch drunk 'cause he's sweet as a pound cake |
| [02:23.11] |
(Ain't he pussy, Mike?) Yeah, El, I'll say |
| [02:25.27] |
Into the wild, wild style ghetto child running wild |
| [02:28.44] |
Where the lions and the owls stay |
| [02:29.89] |
The powers that be even offered up reprieves |
| [02:31.93] |
Told us they ain't take us out if we bow to our knees |
| [02:34.28] |
But they can give that to the kings and the queens |
| [02:36.38] |
And the worshipers of idols and followers of things |
| [02:38.78] |
'Cause I would rather be in the jungle with the savages |
| [02:40.79] |
It's kill or be killed, and I'm working with the averages |
| [02:44.15] |
My professor emeritus |
| [02:45.65] |
Say we been cursed being brought to the AmeriKKKas |
| [02:48.81] |
How you raise a whole human single parent |
| [02:50.50] |
No marriages, no sense of heritage? |
| [02:52.21] |
Planned Parenthood helping plan miscarriages |
| [02:54.45] |
But I'm lucky mommy already had a narrative |
| [02:56.66] |
Product of a teenage love, my arrogance |
| [02:58.98] |
Derives from the pride in the job my parents did |
| [03:01.50] |
Named Mike, I was told it was godlike |
| [03:03.65] |
Even danced with the devil, came out alright |
| [03:06.36] |
OK, honor y'all? No way |
| [03:08.41] |
Still spell AmeriKKKa with the triple K |
| [03:10.77] |
Word up to Spice 1 and O'Shea |
| [03:12.96] |
And any MC peeping what I go through |
| [03:15.32] |
Real rap, my last line's so true |
| [03:17.48] |
Rest in peace to Pimp C and Camu, too |
| [03:19.55] |
We do it for you |
