lyrics

What up, behold what the people say
he won't less shooting, she won't equal pay
they wanna close the boarder, I wanna reefer blaze
we want it right now, but need it yesterday
I'll speak of better days when I find a better way
see it when you get better pay they divide us up by more than race
gone are the days when they would hide they face
they sell every brand you chase
even got a badge if you thought you had space
we protest in place yet run for our lives
karma is credit I hope you don't get denied
embedded in these streets no sleep he gotta survive
she said it's study or sleep man she gotta survive
running out of time depends on you run it
thoughts on your mind clash with feelings in the stomach
if you can't find what you need you gotta become it
in your mind in your deeds and every action forthcoming

Really though you ain't mad cuz you know they hate
they never motivating what you trying to cultivate
you ain't tripping, keep it pimpin, you'll be just fine
life is living, you might get lemons, or sweetest wine

What's good my nigga tell me how you really feel
they say edit for radio but I won't lose appeal
the foolish will stay independent or chose a deal
not dependent on you get it but really how you use ya skill
ya favorite loser still so many fools up in my in grill
if it's cool we can chill I'll let your bruises heal
i'm still cruising through life's interludes trying to find the real
an attitude like being nude it aint hard to reveal
dude is ill, matter of fact, they say he kill
rumor mill, feed em lies, they favorite meal
sweetest wine, celebration, same days for real
adaptations through situations like matrix pills
red or blue if in debt to you make em pay the bill
I ain't the one to count dues but I know the critics will
keep it rocking until my muse say she lack the zeal
when you think the party stopping we gon' crack another seal

Really though you ain't mad cuz you know they hate
they never motivating what you trying to cultivate
you ain't tripping, keep it pimpin, you'll be just fine
life is living, you might get lemons, or sweetest wine

What's happening lil mama how you handle drama
you screenshotting problems or just duck and block em
some niggas stalk em, some niggas drop em, some niggas rob em
some niggas cuff em, some niggas love em, some niggas got em
but if you laughing off the third bar then there's a problem
some women contour they scars and they ain't never talking
these boys go too far destroying creation walking
employing demonization is the vocation often
so when that man in the mirror ends up in his coffin
without seeing it clearer you see a generation lost it
where they can place fear in ya they gon' make a profit
it's how the father got his why would the son stop it
to shun the topic is so myopic too many women live the biopic
in the culture all the vultures would never benefit if they loved ya
if they can't get down for ya they gonna try to stay above ya
