Listen, this is more about life than a rap act
the fact that we were all young and all got laughed at
thinking at the time we would never get passed that
the Chief of Staff lied when he said we'd get cash back
that's that! I'm far beyond a rapper with one line
though sometimes i kneel and can't feel the sunshine
kids suffering with no money for lunchlines
fourteen year old girls shot by one time
guns line the drugs are making their pay
is it dealers or city leaders that are paving the way
i don't get it, it's like people gave'em our say
i got news, no superhero's coming saving the day
if we educate teach kids to read with phonics
they'd have a choice, proper english in the streets ebonics
instead we give'em coca cola crack speed and chronics
the rich don't care! just think, trickling economics
i think we all need to breathe a bit stop and chill
why everytime that were sick we have to pop a pill
Is this a dream? tell me this cannot be real
i'd be doing this even though i got no deal
i feel time is essence, life is like my dad spoke
circling the past as i pass through my last hope
it's a shame thinking that we're payed with the fast dope
