Lyrics
1st Verse
There?s no life/ No breath/ Alls? good have been swept/ Under the rug with the secrets in depth/ Military mind check/ War paint smeared on/ War wounds tattooed, now all of my tears gone/ Hopeless, why try?/ Smoke fest, so high/ Booze cruise choose to be sober why/ Try to evoke change, go against the grain/ To make an impact, the hell with a rap name/ I can give two blips if you pack 2 clips or if you prostituting yourself for blue chips/ I care about my, baby girls in depth/ Welfare can kiss my, well you know the rest/ My objective is to have the kids live/ Pass a tax deduction, donate from the heart/ Give 1 blip about something other than your fat rash, super size nation consuming food that?s cooked fast/ Inner cities looked past, but nothing new to us/ No textbooks, but they?re building bomb proof trucks?/ Low income housing, that?s the poor?s problem?/ If so then Uncle Sam why you come around then?/ I gotta find an exit/ Screw a diamond necklace/ Why do I feel like I?m the only one stressing?/ Brave hearted, I battle tigers and alligators/ Love my family but still extend my hand to all of the haters/ I?m running low on favors/ Time to see you later/ Neglecting our children so we can stack up on the paper/ But not the writing kind/ This little light of mine, I will open doors, I will let it shine/ In the morning, afternoon or the nighttime/ Politics is not my field, so I choose to write rhymes
Break
There?s no options/ You can choose or lose/ But while you?re sleep, they?re watching you
2nd Verse
I?m a little person/ Worlds much bigger/ Music consumed with being a glittery jigga or maybe jigger/ But what?s the difference to a 5 year old who says it in every sentence/ Let?s think a minute/ Anything I speak about I have either done or I live it/ You can call my digits if you think I?m bluffing/ Call me, tmail me, homie it?s nothing/ Try to say something even if it?s a little/ A dog can get real full off of kibbles/ Just a little bit/ Stop being a degenerate/ Stop being a misfit/ Stop being a hypocrite/ Nobody gives a tick, that?s what I learned hard/ In this world all alone and I have to thank God/ Whoever he is and whatever?s? her origin, I?m just rich with the knowledge and I?m sharing fortunes/ Before I rest in coffins or inside a function/ I?mma use my very last breath to say something/ Speak intelligence/ Say something that?s relevant/ Say something that?s prevalent in today?s derelicts/ Speak your mind and free your soul/ That?s coming from a man that?s 23 years old with 23 tears showed/ But the tissue sopped it up, but a white sheet cannot stop my progress and block it up/ Sure enough/ Sold stuff/ Childhood was so rough/ But I learned my lessons and that?s why I?m so tough/ That?s why I stand strong/ Correct when I?m dead wrong/ Still can be productive in life although a mans? gone/ Think about the ones before and the ones that?s after us/ Steadily talking spit and no ones? there to back it up/ We?re killing each other/ No rhymes or punch lines, I?m just saying that we?re killing each other
