[Intro: Sample]
As the doctors gradually increase their medical skills, they're able to provide more curative services
[Intro: Ka]
(Ka)
If it's lessons of discretion, it's no question this is (Ka)
It's filled with dreams and wishes, that still seems seditious (Ka)
For corrosive minds, I wrote some lines, I hope they find (Ka)
Rhyme supposed to shine, a stunning son soul design (Ka)
Thank good people who spoke for mine when evil folks malign (Ka)
Can't be demonized, I speed the wise and chose divine (Ka)
From a caustic block, lost a lot, no force could stop (Ka)
Would look to put you underground if you got thoughts to pop (Ka)
Come round bill, don't pass us if you down phil (Ka)
Been conditioned to sound ill, but this is Brownsville (Ka)
This is Brownsville (Ka)
This is Brownsville (Ka, Ka, Ka)
[Verse]
Almost missed great, amidst hate, I fixate on the broke nine
Decidin' how I'm survivin' outside, no one is bovine
Some spittin' rep, like had shit in check, but show no sign
Or seeking restraint, deep in the paint, they won't post mine
The lonely muddy, troll and do me ugly, I'm so fine
Knowledge of rap, all they got is sack, runnin' through my old lines
Flak heightened, and back-bitin' is what famine caused
Now live and let, at times the biggest threat man ignores
No fortunes raps, caught the claps for any grand applause
Through riotous sound, quiet it down, to raise my voice
Mental, social, cops sent to poach you, what's your cage of choice?
Life's a ride, some nights I cry, some days rejoice
Pride or scandal, required a handle, wish my J was moist
For chill children I'm still buildin', breakin' ground
I'll be raw when you mature, for those now to hate the sound
I hopped a few obstacles others couldn't make around
In Noah's words, I urge you to get submerged, it's safe to drown
[Chorus]
I'm that one want feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one ones feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one want feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one ones feel, kept it one hund-real
[Verse 2]
I'm sure I have to pass now, before the mast bow to the stern
Though firm, come through with solution and rouse of concern
Pro-thought, hold court, the crowd is adjourned
Never slept, rep the public official, crowd on my term
I'm here dealin', now healin', feelin', never shouted a germ
Or I was savin' babies, when their houses were burned
I strained with purpose when the art became a circus
So could tell I'm not a sellout in this flagrant game of merchants
Beast fear or free spirit, clear that you can't chain a purchase
Proper gospel from block apostles that never came to churches
Wasn't suitable for beautiful, women I treated ugly
All those moments they was lonely only tried to feed and love me
Was just hard to be vested when you desperate, needin' money
Now encourage read and study, instead of deeds that leave you bloody
[Chorus]
I'm that one want feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one ones feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one want feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one ones feel, kept it one hund-real
[Bridge]
The gutter's bruise, unprotective of his jewels
Truthfully, you see us between the shepherd and the wolves
This hallow rattle for young sheep, run deep
One want feed, one want eat
One want lead, one want reap
One want teach, one want kill
One want feast, one want build
(Who you man? What you wanna do?)
[Chorus]
I'm that one want feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one ones feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one want feel, kept it one hund-real
I'm that one ones feel, kept it one hund-real
[Coda/Outro]
I'm here to preserve the culture, that's what I'm here to do
And build in the process while I'm doing this
For the babies: I'll continue to do this, it's a beautiful art
I just wanna continue passing on to the next generation
As it was passed on to me, you know what I'm sayin'?
Now while I hold the torch, ?
I ain't tryin' to drop the torch, nah mean?
I wanna hold it high, like, you know what I'm sayin'?
I got pride in this, that's why I do it
I was doin' this since I was eight years old, it's what I was born to do
It's my gift, ? special
