They laugh at you and stone you too
Oh, what did I do to be so black and blue?

Ah, ah
Yeah
I rap through the tunnel, I rap through the struggle
I rap from humble beginnings
The silver lining is linen
The future defined in our women
Aligned when we living and giving in a right way
Still inside is where the fight lay
Went through black and blue for a bright day
Hard cools and hard fool, diss chose and got boo
That was hip-hop dues
My school of thought is black openness
To define and redefine what the culture is
Warm this cold world up like a vocalist
Hard to sing black and blue dreams
In the Cypher, we're two kings
From new side of New Orleans
Redeem sing-song, reminding me of what we are
St. Louis, he kept my arm strong and my power
Everything in this divine hour, we're gettin' to rhyme louder
It make my mom prouder
Living enough for the city, my committee dad is with me, it's witty
Keep it above fifty, thoughts crispy, making sense of it
What a wonderful world is the sentiment
Not what you get from it, but what you get to it
The sincere soul travels infinite
