Chorus:
E-P-E for my n***** we don?t stop / pockets on E but I tell?em we don?t stop / damn near bout to freeze on these corners we don?t stop / got nothing up my sleeve just my n**** and me / it?s E-P-E for my n**** we don?t stop / pockets on E but I tell?em we don?t stop / they?ll never let us be / give us free so we won?t stop / but still we gonna eat just my n***** and me / E-P-E
Maza (1st Verse) ? I left Port-au-Prince America bound / there?s a new sheriff in town / but I ain?t beat for wearing no crown / I just speak my peace if you relate then listen / I put it down for my n***** who couldn?t make tuition / for single mothers who struggle about to face eviction / all my n***** who thuggin and get that drink in they system / and go buck wild insane let?s face it / I do this for my n***** stuck at home on them ankle bracelets / tryna find peace cornered ya?ll the game don?t cease / so I?m back the next morning on them same old streets / with an agenda / who kept the flow sick influenza / stepped in 06 I?ll wreck your whole click and dismember / what ever dudes rep crews sets get demolished / I?m back the flesh a n***** stressing since I left college / mom?s waiting for me to come home with diploma in hand / I told her let a n**** be cause I am my own man
Chorus
Ced (2nd Verse) ? I stand for the truth even if that means I?m standing alone / I care less if you a gang n**** brandishing chrome / protecting home that?s a vita task / even if the rifle blast / we living by it like we learned it up in Bible class / and ya?ll can laugh but I sense fear / don?t have me come around this street corner and ya?ll faggots are still here / cause after we built damn near every thing that we standing in / my fam will never abandon it / we handling what need to be handled I learned a lot from that other side / but studying the history channel / arranged marriages we cherish our bloodline / we taught to be strong and never cross one another in crunch time / you try and run away from the message I bring / I?ll decorate the city walls with the blood of your king / it ain?t a thing it?s how we regulate when moving at a dreadful pace / my words will separate the peasants from the heads of state
Maza (3rd Verse) ? Just give it another year if they don?t feel me then this might be the last draw / my last verse written last beat and of last song / now ask around him no joke / we in the club see the buzz like that indo smoke / we get?em high so fly a n**** so fresh to def / plus they know I got G so I ain?t pressed for sex / but I get up every Monday and its back to that 9 to 5 grind / so how do I prioritize rhyme / and no you can?t shine when your grind is confined to your lunch break / pressed for time trying to get them lines out in one take / I?m trying to gas shorty to hit the telly she laughs at me / she like n**** you ain?t Cassidy / I?m far from misogynist but I went from broke with the best demo / to getting throat now I?m a sex symbol / was I perplexed N-O / I don?t expect nothing thus when those / doors close shut / don?t tell me nothing I been ghost
Chorus
