Evolve from high bred intellectuals who slept on park
bench
Topple you off pedestal,
Thrive at any level.
Find it hard to settle
Traverse habitat that tests a man's meddle.
Fist grip the neck of devils.
Barely time to revel.
They fencing off the ghettos.
Most heads I know never even seen a meadow.
Son of concrete given birth and death on same street.
We got no time to weep.
And what the steel don't dead, rots away with disease.
Gettin' carried by six is our only release.
Time has come to pull sword from sheath,
Raise the meek...
I love these beats!
See shifty eyes like they never held heat.
walk 50 miles, and we never retreat.
Re-read every scroll cause I barely do sleep.
Hope to reach my apex like Kerouac at his peak!
Chorus:
Best you don't speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics
that I'm grippin'
20/20 through eyes with ambition.
Here to redefine the street diction.
(2x)
Vent frustration over underground airwaves.
displayed traits that convey my conviction.
Fall between the cracks of this system
Systematically act erratic to emphasize position
Post-apocolyptic landscape creates vivid image
struggle ain't made for the timid.
In these Bricks one mistake leave you rigid
Ain't here for the gimmicks
Hip-Hop is how you live it.
Check the verbal rhythm.
Reduced to head nods when you feel'em
The fortunate connect, the rest get the serum.
Poisonous ideas infect like snakes venom
Vernacular adapts to express what's in them.
Masses organized once again pose threat
"Chickens home to roost" is what a wise man said.
Since he spit truth they made sure he bled.
It's been much too long that we been misled.
Chorus:
Best you don't speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics
that I'm grippin'
20/20 through eyes with ambition.
Here to redefine the street diction.
