Intro 03:16
let me speak my talk I had to watch my step, cuz 6 feet don't walk my lawyer told me young man you better pay your cost that's why these others get off , and these brothers get lost in the system stuck in prison yellin’ free my BOS rap sheet for ya verses meanin' you got caught 5 years for a murder means that you might talk... but who am I to judge I ain't judge or the jury you more show me like Missouri, I'm esse quam verderi so if you think you see me then your vision kinda blurry I politic with felons who tell me where they were failin' so I won't pass down the same mistakes being reckless ...Times hard everybody will grind even cats who got a job doin dirt on the side I don't tell bout you, you don't tell bout mine some young dudes catch us slipping take it all off our mind, I promise ...back in college my adviser was a panther if violence ain't a answer why they use it on us? get a clue klutz (klu klutz) instead of stressin red hat's and blue chucks 6 5 I know mine that's knowledge I taught Black political thoughts, all that knowledge I caught if I don't reach my full potential it is only my fault Ethiopian cross , lost children of the motherland ...don't try to tell me what belong to the other man .... what's the meaning of that I can't picture white Jesus when his features are black someone killin our future, someone hiding our past got us stuck in the present but here's a gift that will last I might bomb a record label if the offer is whack not a terrorist, just wonder how the buildings collapsed when I hear every verse, I could run every track this is deeper than rap, and I am deeper that..fact born Carolina bound in the city of the crown on the NorF Side of town off the creek that ain't sweet but it's still called sugar in the springs where I streamed all my childhood dreams king
