[Verse One]
Yo give me the mic, this hippy's delight
Will typically bite, but if history's right
Then it will get me in fights
I've earned my stripes, from what I've learned in life
So I'm precise like a surgeon's knife with the words I write
I burn when I bite that's why my teeth are pearly white
In the burden of a fight you'll learn to improvise
[?] with simple guys and if you sympathize
Then you'll look deep in eyes when you have to speak to guys
I've been to places that
There ain't no facing back
I swing this chain and ax at kids that don't pay their tax
I keep my feet on dash and creep with weed in stash
Meet me with a liter of gas if you want to see some ash
I'll let the seasons pass, screaming out my freezing ass
My heated house is leaking fast, I'm leaking out the weekend's past
I wear a deacon mask so I can teach your dad
About believing that us you're speaking ain't some evil cash
[Hook] {x2}
A struggle ain't a struggle without the striving
The jungle wouldn't rumble without the lion
I'm humble, but with a mumble I might be dying
I crumble, fumble and stumble and I'm still trying
[Verse Two]
I slip and trip and get up from the sit
To lift the gift I give to kids that are hip-
Hop orientated, boy we related
Annoyed by the hatred that's deployed in our matrix
I can't afford to fake it
Kind of bored with fake tits
Cause in the store is fake chicks
Buy breasts and bracelets
I confess my brain digs
Too deep for most
But the best pain is in streets and not in shows
I got my feet upon these walls trying to lead from these here dogs
Forgot the beeper number to call of Steven Seagal
Ya get it?
Your cliches are jumping away
Cause I got something to say
That's not all up in your face
So I'ma walk all these dogs after I lock all these doors
To the park to get lost and our nostrils are frost-
Bitten, without our mittens, yo they were sitting in the kitchen
I missed them, good riddance, damn I should've picked 'em up
(AD were you bleeding or what?)
(Man this kid here sucks)
Just think for a minute
