Message in the Song lyrics
Yall know what my purpose is
I spit verses that lift curses off my dead president worshipers
Back where the surface is gangsters and murderers
Making money made us merciless
ItÂs the birth of the streets its over they said
Rappers crossed over they dead
I spit my verse with technique till they know when they ledge
First to compete then IÂm over their heads
He too lyrical and too subliminal
every day from spiritual too criminal
ItÂs a message in the bottle open it
itÂs a lesson in survival cope with it
It donÂt make sense to die for the root of evil
It get too cerebral when that donÂt seem lethal
Either way is hell I cant save the world
But I can show them how to save themselves
From theÂ
Evil things that people do, sometimes, legal dreams that we pursue, sometime we donÂt think that we can lose, sometimes
Call it >>>>, itÂs the root of evil we the proof, some times itÂs a plea from me to u
I seen through the eyes of the prophets
King tutankhamun
And Martins and Malcolms
And Elijah Mohameds
Wise with knowledge
Paid in full interest aside in the pockets
Just rise with the topics
Rise economics I show you that time is more valuable than them diamonds in your watches
U grind where the block is you die for those dollars
Plus work for them too u know right where wallet is
Thugs is pitchin chicks is in the club stripping
flippin drugs and pimpin hood is flood of grippin
latin kings and black guerillas governments
In fact hopng we donÂt go at these go at these cracker killers
It sound like a set up and we the victims
One out of a million will beat the system
Here and wish for flippin brinks is over with
Take your chips and go legit
From theÂ
Evil things that people do, sometimes, illegal dreams that we pursue, sometime we donÂt think that we can lose, sometimes
Call it >>>>>>>>>>>, itÂs the root of evil we the proof, some times itÂs a plea from me to u
To my gÂs on the block that do what they gotta do
donÂt get me wrong I donÂt judge IÂm not knockin you
guess thatÂs what not having a job will do
people starving gotta get their dollars too
get that prop at night itÂs a lot of strife
my advice is donÂt get blinded by the lights
drug money and blood money got a price
6 feet under or 25 to life
do the crime and u might do the time you served it
what itÂs worth when you do a crime and get murdered
time is precious itÂs time we earned
its time to questioned your grind isnÂt working
itÂs time that we changed the game
we been waitin for change and exchange
why play with death play it safe momma
and do your best to stay away
From theÂ
