Well, I don't where you've been But if you got here let you in you with open arms, now let's begin Set the scene, as fuck minus the mean Build up your esteem and get to I'm fools a place where they can come And release the dumb they've done 'Cause ever since I was young I've been shown I alone
I with my unboned skill And who talked down on me I knew didn't know the deal My belief was way than life Taking charge with the in my mind And that in other mankind I knew I was on the path, see a fight, wrath raging for way too long
And you might say strong, proud, loud and so on Steadily doing damage every time you get flow on I build in Oakland, and everywhere else I go There are people who know exactly I mean More than a scene, great minds alike So you find hate it ain't tight, decipher the paint right Get sights set on what's important Stop the big picture, when will it hit ya?
It's a kid on the corner of his And there's a genius in his room with a deep It's a in the hills with a crop But if they all come together what they A little power unified to a knot , well of course And if a plan to expand is for some more Lend a hand, pay attention and We all in people we all in this
Ae yo, a rich man in poor body That's what I was up, hustlin' for the buck torn between just to be or not to be It gotta be it betta, be betta days of me Cheddar cheese, luxuries, never gave to me Instead I from home to home, feelin' lone was I prone From the in which I lay to wallow To for today and give a fuck about tomorrow
The sorrow and hatred is my only all my memories are filled with lies and deception The stressin', of a childhood and adolescence Learn my lesson, now all good I thought I'd see the streets of so many hoods My heart done broke so many times, boy it's than wood It's been a long road, but you know the unfolds I listen to the stories told by the of old
Tryin' to tell me I don't know strugglin' Like in the slave days, but shit changed Instead we ain't chains, huh I feel the pain but it's escalated feel free, but still ain't emancipated So getting' faded is left off the green leaf the mind, but when I'm high I feel fine Been in the place at the wrong time
All the Tryin' to into the light But the dark ain't far I'm at a disadvantage but I manage To make it for me by the use of my talents And use common to gain dollars and cents And ashamed of what I do the day I repent
It's a kid on the of his block And there's a genius in his room with a thought It's a grower in the hills with a But if they all come together what they A little unified to make a knot, well of course And if a to expand is endorsed for some more a hand, pay attention and explore We all in people we all in this
I stay humble through the many of fumbles I trouble And trouble it in cities amongst the rubble I learned from my mistakes to miss Resembling ignorance, isn't it all in the Got you wondering, why? You wanna bubble so you Building the that's not needed So the other one you ignore it and it More fantasy and you store it, the bubble your circumference of
"Ghetto fabulous" in society A circle of clubbing and girl amounts to really nothing While we for the public We shove it down the of our kids and watch 'em love it And got the nerve to why shit's fucked up The government lucked up, by giving fools the to bear arms 'Cause we shoot each other down after last What the y'all?
It's a kid on the corner of his And there's a genius in his with a deep thought It's a grower in the hills with a But if all come together what they got? A little power unified to make a , well of course And if a plan to expand is endorsed for some Lend a hand, pay attention and We all in people we all in this
