In my city unemployment is kinda high, Thus we hustle to get by,
whether by day or whether by night,
and you can hustle herb, or hustle a 9–5,
money is the motive and here’s my alibi,
my bills are red, and they’re stackin high,
I take pills for meds, and I know why,
cah I’m tired,
but they couldn’t give a fuck,
they got problems of their own so I aint even fussed,
but its crazy, when nobody there to lend a helping hand,
a brothers going hungry but,
they think Im the fucking man.
ain’t pride a bitch,
I try hide my pain but they keep finding it,
between the pen and the page,
will I sink or be saved?
I cant think so I blaze,
the lemon or the haze,
and I zone out, till night becomes day,
or I figure out a way to make this world a better place,
I’m a dreamer,
even dreams have their place,
though were stuck here on earth,
it is the stars that we chase,
Praying one day, we can sit back and liaise,
with the gods,
till that day I’mma keep my faith strong,
in the lord and his will,
but If I can then I will,do my part
to keep it real,
everybody has their part to play
and I’mma keep it trill,
no I Ain’t from Texas but its the way I feel,
sooooo
So I try move with the times,
steady losing my mind,
so I choose to reside,
in a world of divide,
where your rights are denied,
and your views criticised,
if they do not align,
with the views of the mass,
fuck that, im here to take it back,
spit from the soul to the core,
like I told you before,
see my lifestyle is raw,
so my heart it ain’t pure,
but its nothing.
My mind is in a prism prison with visions of infinite division
cause they never listen, afraid to play their position,
but its nothing.
cuz when the guns start buzzing
and the tanks start rushing on to streets,
they’ll be praying for police,
to stop beating on ’em,
have you like its kiev,
roads are kinda cold but the G’s have got the heaters on ’em,
the youth be the future so I hope you aint sleeping on ’em.
