[Verse 1]
It doesn't help that I have to perform miracles
Before I get the recognition that my peers get shown
I remember they told me, "Spit it in a clearer tone
You too raspy, youngin', you sound too old"
But I live in a place where people's dreams go to die
So excuse me if I have wrinkles on my brow or under my eyes
My momma found truth in her stomach amongst some of the lies
Gettin' raped by a close friend could f*ck up your life
But some good could come in disguise
There's quite a thin line between love and despise
I touch in her thighs, she feels the numb in her spine
I'm f*ckin' her mind, havin' a threesome, making love to a crime
This is the year of the plentiful
The successful career of a criminal
When the monk priest decides it's time to hit the road
The Saturday when the Rabi decides to lift a load
Flipping through vogue, skipping a few stones through the sea
The lack of a healthy fear like, what could God do to me?
I move with ease through the things people usually hoot and scream about
Lose they dreams about, decide to choose an easier route
We need a drought just so we can know we need the clouds
We need a jury just so we can go and beat the trial
Feet in the Nile from all the salt these n*ggas speakin' out
They writin' checks they can't cash, I had to freeze accounts
Greasy mouths, the type a friends to hit the weed and bounce
I studied horticulture just so I could weed them out
The b*tch n*ggas that get beat up, go home and beat they spouse
We don't all participate, but at least we allow
[Hook]
I like my car parked up the block
Take my tech deck out and keep me doors locked
Cause these kids throw rocks in
These kids don't got aim
[Verse 2]
I have to flow
10 times harder than these Seattle cats
Who make albums out of battle raps
They n*ggas snitch on em an then they tattle back
It's sad, they use up more of the drugs that they have then they've ever trapped
I front em a pack and I never ask for the cheddar back
Cus they must need it
Rehab is above they budget cap
I wish there was a law that only Real n*ggas could f*ckin rap
They mug at me I'm buckin back
Whoops there goes another strap
f*ckin Raz
You f*ckin right, I f*ckin spazz
I was taught never shoot a shot with a shaking hand
Glad I had an absent father, not an angry dad
Being a bast*rd child never made me mad
You have to be sitting down or laying down ta take a stand
I'm knocking on pearly gates
Standin on golden floors
The demons are scared to say my name;
Voldemort
Hold a sword
Go to war
Chop a neck wit no remorse
Then preened I give a f*ck when I go ta court,,
Deep wounds,-
Strangled souls with open sores
I did what any D boy does when they close the ports an sh*t
Resorted to more resourcefulness
Extortionist, turn a rich man to a contortionist
[Hook]
