To my dearly departed Shit's becomin' all that I feared, here's it started Seems nothing's as it appears, swear it's retarded No wonder I get speared by my peers, I'm a target It used to take a nation of for niggas not to be Amerikkka's gave America hope Back the music had a message in it We was rebels it The best was to lessen the gimmicks, but now Y'all made a of it And somebody gotta address shit Rakim would never a dress and shit I ain't a pessimist to say I ain't impressed it Your hearing's bad, you it's alive, now that's the death in it it was all about bars, wanted to weddin' it Surround yourself bullshit, you'll be liable to step in it Came with one objective, gettin' it further Now I'm watchin' my first die, witnessin' murder When stopped lovin' ol' girl, what was he tellin' me? Cold world, now she dig you without a melody Love nerds, used to be niggas with felonies We a new president, where the fuck is Eric B? Or did my wordplay confuse Now I see her with Young Thug and what did you niggas do to her now My generalization is this The state of this gentrification, desensitization I call her, in Marvin's room, everything is awkward now She moved to south, deserted her New Yorker crowd Met her a cane, she changed, prefer to walk it out Stopped eatin' meat when she heard I in a slaughterhouse Now she's a new dame glued to the She used to hate accessorizin', now she's wearin' two Relationship too strained, I know who to blame When I her, "You've changed", she say, "Who would be the same" She right, 'cause ain't the way we knew each other Or do I face the fact that maybe we outgrew each It took a while, but that's finally She wouldn't if she could I if this is love, I'm good
