Ced (1st Verse) ? My paternal grandmother had some issues with my mother so / we never got to come around a lot when I was younger oh well / the sleep over?s and candy yams / cousins and pillow fights I guess it wasn?t part of my family plan / and recently I read somewhere we really kings / but you can?t deny that Willie Lynch did his thing / see I got cousins in the bing / long lost uncle so and so / I met once he showed me the direction I?m supposed to go / and no one knows really what happened / but I got cousins my age I wouldn?t know?em in the streets if I passed them / not that I would ever ask?em / its awkward I tried it / all you get is half truths and that uncomfortable silence / and Auntie Nell God rest her soul / she had a heart as good as gold / she tried her best but its really only so much that she could control so / I?m taking that long stroll to gather my soul / and don?t you dare ask me why I?m so cold

Chorus


Maza (2nd Verse) Now Rosa Parks refused the back of the bus / so what they do came to the hood and gave us Cadillac Trucks / and section 8 housing got n**** living foul / every day on the 9 to 5 I?m drowning / gotta utilize my talent / like my n**** back home that got rich / investing off of a stock tip / I seen it all from where I sit / I seen?em ball so I got this / money hungry aura about me / I?m feenin for that cash / I?m on the bus stop every late night / and I?m freezing off my a** / If I could take flight I?d leave / gotta embrace life indeed / but the hate spite and greed / all these snake bites fatigued / eating at my soul it ain?t right, agreed / but you gotta persevere you can?t let?em see you bleed / they wonder how living in poverty can bring all this hate up out us / n***** trying eat it takes a dollar just to make a dollar / if you achieve more taxes?ll bring you down like a see saw / I pay so why the hell these cops looking at me for?

Chorus

Ced & Maza (3rd Verse)

Ced? Is my pride and my dignity integrity / that?s why a picininny Sambo I could never be / ain?t got room for no costumes / the music we make is all the proof you?ll ever need that we not coons / I?m halfway to 50 and wild scared / I look at this world how could any sane person bring a child here / to hell with being your next king / I struggle with life / on top of that I gotta deal with this death thing

Maza - My State of mind when I?m dead broke is cynide tablets and lead smoke / trying to survive keeps me traumatized and I just know / I gotta make it out cause if I keep going this route / 50 shots lick in the air / hit up ya block electric chair / n***** screaming they prepared / and I respect whatever you claim / whatever gang ready to blow your brothers brain/ but when it?s the feds you just complain / ain?t nothing gonna change / ain?t no one here to lead us / don?t know one do a thang / just say good bye to freedom
