[Intro]
*Interviewer* Alright, let everybody know your name and where you're from, man
*Black Liquid* They call me Black Liquid, and I am a Richmond representer
[Verse 1: Black Liquid]
I am who I am
It's life really that made me
My parents
Awareness
Careless
Drunk, crazy
High, sober
Damn, I keep changing
Growing, knowing
Nothing could ever save me
The gift of desperation
I'm in a hurry to die
I draw it then I cross it
I finish my starting line
My supply I supply
I fear it I can't deny
This is time, what is time
I'm tested invested mine
In these rhymes in these lines
I'm destined won't be denied
In decline intertwined
The center attention
I'm
So defined I'm refined
More money I'm making mine
F*** whatever n***** talking and thinking
I'm reading minds
Seeing I'm
Just the same
No different I'm just specific
Insistent I get resistant
Malignant
I am the sickness
I suffer
No buffer
Older but look younger
Starving I know hunger
Under and up and comer
Encumbered and torn asunder
I'm splintered tempered by mentors
My n***** they all remember
I'm wrong
But I'm a writer
And liver
Drowned my liver In bottles of malt liquor
Delivered didn't consider I'm bitter
But a success
A mess
I must confess this rap's
Out of control
No longer underground
We simply digging a hole
I no longer feel connected
No mind body or soul
I detest don't contest
It's no longer a goal
This is life
What's the meaning
With meeting I feel alone
The writings on the wall
Graffiti I can't decode
This is Death, depth, dollars, and dreams
The four D's and no 40's
This here is all me
I am ANTI
[Interlude]
*Interviewer* Alright, no doubt. Who or what inspired you to do music, man? How you got started?
*Black Liquid* You know what I'm saying? The whole way I got started is simply just failure though. You know, like, you go through adversity, you have people that inspire you to rhyme and sing everything else freestyle etc. etc. but one way or another you have to decide your own path and like I came to a point where I had a ?transverse? and I was like..
[Verse 2: Black Liquid]
From the classroom to red room
For headroom I was born to
Stand up, no leg room
I record then perform
I stopped knocking on doors
And built my own building
F*** waiting on yours
No remorse
No recourse
Of course, they want rapport
But there's more to invest
And best
It's nothing less than stress
I obsess
Express
But I'm repressed
Impressed when I address
I dress
But here's the catch
These people:
So distracted they'd rather settle for less
I'm not, a turn up rapper
But I'll turn a rapper to rest
Respect retrospect
Regardless, reassess
Real recognize real
I've yet to regress
As an artist kept an honest
In a market thats dead
"There's no one rich up in Richmond"
That's what my n**** said
Mislead
They got it twisted
Mind it all but their business
Black Liquid f*** with women
I don't f*** with you bitches
I am 1000 words
All they want is a picture
No advances just chances
A vantage for disadvantage
Circumstances lower standards
No questions in seek of answers
They quit before they fall
They s*** before they eat
They thought
But never think
Doesn't matter to me
I'm here until I'm gone
But this here is forever
My presence is gravity
I'm not worried bout pressure
And I prefer the pain
It's the burden of the pleasure
I am Anti
[Outro]
*Interviewer* How do you feel, you know what I'm saying, your style and your music is different from other artists?
*Black liquid* You know what I'm saying, the difference between my s*** and everybody else s*** is that my s*** is not contrived. Honesty ??. I live this s***. This n**** last night came through ? me down and saying broke down to me how real one of my tracks is because it represents exactly who I am to him. All, everything is just based on reality, that's it. You know what I'm saying, reality ain't promoted in this rap music. I make hip-hop
