True Labor

[Chorus 2x]
I keep the love alive
You mother-fuckers customize
Sheep fall asleep
Lead 'em on wit' cha lullabies
I wonder why the music's getting treated like a fetus-
Aborted never knowing that her baby was a G!

[Verse 1]
Passion and pain, I sang in the rain, yo
I never did it for the cash or the fame, no
Gave props to the up and coming artists
But I still pluck the weeds from the garden, ha!
Fuck ya auto-tune followin'
I ought a stick a fuckin' sock in your esophagus
I'm sick of all these fake cats hollerin'
Never paid dues, never even threw a dollar in
Straight shooter, yo my tutor was Picasso
Hollow point pen hit you harder than Mohammed's blow, woah!
You might've called him Cassius
Nice & Smooth on the mic, yet savage...

[Chorus 2x]
I keep the love alive
You mother-fuckers customize
Sheep fall asleep
Lead 'em on wit' cha lullabies
I wonder why the music's getting treated like a fetus-
Aborted never knowing that her baby was a G!

I am Hip-Hop greatness
Tip top shape on a track go apeshit
Back when a mother-fucker used to tape it
Before Facebook, REAL FRIENDS, no fake shit
My body's the pen, the ink is the blood
It might sound crazy, but I thinks I'm in love
A god when I speak, Shakespeare resurrected
Directed my life over beats like Deck did
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
But once I'm in the booth I remove all boundaries
No limit, no gimmicks, all I need is
One Mic when I recite speeches...

[Chorus 2x]
I keep the love alive
You mother-fuckers customize
Sheep fall asleep
Lead 'em on wit' cha lullabies
I wonder why the music's getting treated like a fetus-
Aborted never knowing that her baby was a G!

Let's take a minute to reflect on the past
I wouldn't change a thing, though the pain still sting
Bring soul to a track, when I talk you listen
Envision every bar like a walk through prison
I apologize to every heart I injured
Tha Soloist, I'm a part-time sinner
Confess in the booth, speak truth, no lie
If I die for cause nigga you know why!
I suffer every day but I never gave up
Raise up yo' fist when you bring my name up!
Came up in the spot, no chain, no whip
Turn on the radio...the same old shit...

[Chorus 1x]
I keep the love alive
You mother-fuckers customize
Sheep fall asleep
Lead 'em on wit' cha lullabies
I wonder why the music's getting treated like a fetus-
Aborted never knowing that her baby was a G!

[New Chorus 1x]
I keep the love alive
You mother-fuckers customize
Sheep fall asleep
Lead 'em on wit' cha lullabies
I wonder why the music's getting treated like a fetus-
Aborted never knowing that her baby was a GENIUS!
Mother-fuckers!
