The man told the lady,
The lady told the news,
So its no surprise by the time it gets to you!
You could look to the sky, and still won't find the clues.
Cause the truth lies somewhere deep inside the blues
The building told the block,
The block told the hood
The hood told the world,
And the world made me
The world knows the truth even when they can't see
See, they try to tell you lies, but that just ain't me!
Yeah, yeah, public house on it
I got a metro car with ten thousand on it!
Before it runs empty, I gotta become fifty
As a matter of fact curtis
As a matter of fact yummy
Spend day penny on pennies, mics
Shot while waiting on limes, yacks!
But we share the same vice
Wings and five rights had and haves
Clean and no fights, aftermaths
Grandma said, stay in! They are not playing!
The president but that aint gonna stop shit
Afraid they cant save you, make your own options!
Grand old partly is hardly concerned
When my mans on the partly because
And I remind that aint nobody starving, but us
. For a zone, we swept under the rug!

Yo, king. enrich the government
They put the troops out, what about the tenements?
Cause its a battle there, welfare, healthcare
Were trying to get our wheelchair up the crystal stairs
Stair to walk, you probably find the beauty in it
Rose is looking at a life sentence
And all filthy no matter what city it is
Ive been to fifty different, and that was for my niggas.
Oh, aint no and trailer parks tripping,
Racist not existing when you poverties drinking
For babies bodies is missing, to prescription addictions
Its all for attention, just fucking what were living
But they said we do
They change without a dollar, what a fuck were supposed to do?
How am I supposed to feel the power when they flunk us out of school
Even shut us down when the budget costs too, huh!
Check the in Forbes list
Check the is an awful way to exist
Huh, at least youve got a job!
You dont want to give it back and hit the back of the line, huh!
Dont mind the handouts, aint no way to stand out
And I cut the. usually a planned out, man dont push me!
Im on the edge already!
And is flying when youre dead already!
