Lyrics: 0–100 by @TheOrator_UK

<strong0-100
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.
