Yeah
That's good, Statik, man
We gotta slow this shit down for a second, man
They gotta listen to the words, man

Check
I eat any instrumental, but my sons can't eat beef
So do I feed the seed or the mental?
SUV or the rental? Good job or the lottery?
Rental in the hood or beach property?
Nothing stopping me but the man in the mirror staring solemnly
Like the whole world got it out for me
Sorry for thyself like wealth well, will never be a part of me
I give in every artery, but arteries don't clock in
Arteries just clock out, grim reaper knocking
The Devil won't get knocked out, all this cock blocking
I think of Pac and how when he died in his prime
Like damn, what we need most is time
We dribble or we rush for the first down
Scribble in the verse now
Rhyming tracks to remember how it is hurt sound
The Earth round, some thought it was flat
Will I get credit when them kids look back?
Can I win some?
I get upset 'cause I just wanna be treated the way you are
Like a star, since music's expressions of life
Damn, I wish I took more time to write
I get upset 'cause I just wanna be treated the way you are
Like a star, since music's expressions of life
Damn, I wish I took more time to write
Yeah, yeah, check, yo
Each day that go by, I think about my
Homies in the sky, gotta ask God why
Why you let the love die? Why the hate crimes rise?
That makes mom's eyes water, eyes on the prize
Sides chained upon the concrete, walking on the lines
Where street signs meet crime peddlers, time settling beef
I'm minding the sheets, rhyming the beats
Trying to reach for magazines, not the ones for the heat
I'm talking XXL cover, Reks fell brother
Real educated king spitter, still a street dweller
Do you seek hella heaven's halos?
Hello to demons or the angels
Love I seek, I'm so thankful
'Cause God grant you life to live to the fullest
The Devil pull us through gutters, slums, killing for colors
Bullets cover the young, slums lost to mothers
Who suffers bodies below, souls rose above us
I get upset 'cause I just wanna be treated the way you are
Like a star, since music's expressions of life
Damn, I wish I took more time to write
I get upset 'cause I just wanna be treated the way you are
Like a star, since music's expressions of life
Damn, I wish I took more time to write
Can I win some?
Ya see, my notebook
We are who we are, we fall, we crawl through it
Gazing at the stars from afar, Judas
Plotting demise of my rise, my eyes scour the skies
Look for heaven in the cumulus clouds besides
My enemies, friends can be shady
Fuck a club, getting wavy
Shit, I got a baby
My baby's now a toddler, crazy
Holler when I touch down, maybe
24/7 On airwaves, baby
To follow be all I can be, motto
'Cause I know the trap of the beast, so
I avoid rap over beats, paranoid like I should just be employed
A job might do me well, hobbies no good for bills
Rapping my hobby, Bobby Marley had a vision to spread love
I try to rise above
I hate it though that my niggas can't make it too
I get upset 'cause I just wanna be treated the way you are
Like a star, since music's expressions of life
Damn, I wish I took more time to write
I get upset 'cause I just wanna be treated the way you are
Like a star, since music's expressions of life
Damn, I wish I took more time to write
My notebook
