I see my people settle for less
Community seeds, metal detect
To proceed to success for what they learning
That burning ain’t allowed until the bell rings
The doors opened to the hell thing. We call them streets
Where survival to the fit and some find ways to eat
Some sleep, hoping to keep tomorrow at a distance
Perseverance measured up by resistance
The world got beautiful results since pharmaceutical indulgence
Intellect measured by the treasure you earn
Whatever you burn, pleasure can turn into a prison
Causing division between man and destiny
Only the best can see the light
I travel at the speed of mic, treat it like the winning ticket
In life, I got those. You post up—watch me kick it, sticking
Three on the boards while the beast roars against me Could my defense me book-bound? I’ll look down and see my seed
Future reflection of my deed plus the only one that helped me see love is a need
Brothers’ll bleed before they leave greed. Some need mead to maintain
To each his own. How I remained sane is strange
A question we hold since birth
Unknown since no man can hold the Earth
I look for solutions, finding answers
Confusion to the ears, y’all finding truth
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
Yo, there’s a type to live the life of crime
It all depends on where you draw the line. I sort of rhyme
And, for the time, I be worse with it. My worst critics below
Too opposed to the tales I be choosed to expose
I keep a frame froze, leave a name
Jane Doe and John do. Where they rest be beyond yo You want clues? Keep your ears open
For years, soaking sidewalks and suds, buds blossom of a rotten root
A ghetto flower with the power of forgotten troops
Copping recruits in the war against the old vagina, became a major
While still a minor. Countdown, set the timer, find a Dangerous dime in a dangerous time. Any
Stranger is fine in the range of a time
Or price. The more ice, the more nice
Sheisty shorter, ten time since I’m
Sort of a reporter, I try to deny the water to my eye
But who am I to judge or hold a grudge
In a world that don’t love and don’t budge. Limited options, boxed in By barriers of areas of various toxins
Fox in tights, lots of fights broken out about who hit it first
What made it worse was the hidden curse within her skirt
Flirt with it, get hurt with it. This young girl’s berserk with it Work with it in ways you never bothered
Eliminating anything resembling a father
Trembling on memories from bended knees
She is very positive
She’s very positive—she never gonna live
She’s very positive. She never bear kids
She’s very positive (Yeah)
A question we hold since birth
Unknown since no man can hold the Earth
I look for solutions, finding answers
Confusion to the ears, y’all finding truth
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
I pay a lot of attention to the things that I see
