This Is My Culture lyrics
by Zoey Dollaz
[Intro: DJ Kay Slay]
Ayo It's DJ Kay Slay the Drama King
A day 1 representative of the culture
And if you don't know the meaning of culture
Culture is a way of life
[Verse 1: Ransom]
This revolution is televised
This ain't no retribution it's genocide
That's why we never rootin' for better lives
Whenever Ran is shootin' you better ride
Never cry, sever ties
You can hear the struggle in every verse that I memorized
Nothing to settle or talk about or just set aside
A f*cking rebel, we warrin' out like when Emmett died
Another level was born of doubt on the devil's lies
YES!!!!
Make a n*gga kneel when that metal rise
Without a cause I'm the cause of all of this torturous
Terror was born in an orphanage now I'm doin' better
A young black soldier, the Malcom X of his era
Body trump, n*ggas body jump when the shotty dump
Shotty blastin' nobody casket's a body bag
Bet I be relevant when I shoot at the president
For being negligent we at the door and they don't let us in
[Chorus]
This is my culture everyday I live my life
Culture
This is my culture and I'ma rep it til I die
[Verse 2: Papoose]
Intellectually speaking
I've been a threat to these heathens
A vulgar scholar who overpowered the rest of these weaklings
Why you throw the book at me if you expect me to read it?
When I bail outta jail I feel like you sellin' me freedom
Whats the definition of freedom won't you tell me the meaning
Is it to be free and dumb you ain't catchin' me sleepin'
This is food for thought got everyone next to me eatin'
Incredibly cause my recipes heavenly seasoned
Winter, spring, summer, fall, focused every season
Every man for himself, is that the message you teachin'?
On the battlefield if they get the best of me squeezin'
My man layin' next to me bleedin' you tellin' me leave him
I got the memory of an elephant heavily breathin'
I got the aim of Oswald when he left Kennedy leakin'
I got the infrared on your head and it's steadily beamin'
I got the energy of a man with a felony fleein'
[Chorus]
This is my culture everyday I live my life
Culture
This is my culture and I'ma rep it til I die
[Verse 3: Jon Connor]
Uh!
Back to the basics they takin' the things I'm sayin' that's sacred
As if they scroll through the pages of the Book of David n*gga
Northside resident welcomes you to its element
f*ck an election they only worried about dead presidents
Ride slow when 5-0 becomes your rival
Baby mama crib they've been waitin' for your arrival
Eyes low from puffin' the hydro
Tell the cops you stressin' me out what the f*ck you think I get high for
Back on my sh*t again
n*ggas is cinnamon in the beginning was thinkin' the ways I was killin' them
I figure these n*ggas is feminine i'm probably trippin' so I can just chill again'
Cause most of these rap n*ggas is wack n*ggas
Cause i'm from a town where they wack n*ggas
For what you say on the track n*gga
Easy real sh*t 'bout to reach for that kill switch
Hood n*gga but I feel rich f*cking Bel-Air b*tches like Will Smith
He the one until Kingdom Come n*ggas think it's funny til they see the gun
Cause them Flint n*ggas could let'cha slide or let'em fly n*gga either one
GO!!!
[Chorus]
This is my culture everyday I live my life
Culture
This is my culture and I'ma rep it til I die
[Verse 4: Locksmith]
YES!!!
You dealin' with a rebel
Every record label is in the bed with the devil
Look at what they peddle, the subject matter they gathering lather up for the people yet the masses still settle
Every politician is a product of lobbyists
That every corporation pays for and it's obvious
They need the cheap labor to progress
Cause slavery is still legal inside the prison complex
YES!!!
I don't know when it began
n*ggas don't know the identity man
For that affinity there is no remedy that you can literally keep with your hand
n*ggas be runnin' the street with no plan
Till the police put the heat to the man
That's your real enemy n*ggas get finicky when they get threatened they sleep in a can
I don't wanna loose my mind
From the new side climb
I see it clear
That they wanna mute my rhymes
I spew at times I see they fear
I don't need a crew I'm fine
I climbed a whole 'nother level
Regardless what you feel I'm a motherf*cking rebel
