Revolutionary scary[00:00:12]
Thought provoking spoken [00:00:39]
Words of a chain I dont feel but I see [00:00:41]
Visions from me[00:00:44]
At twenty three making us free in my community[00:00:45]
One day is what I live for [00:00:48]
Aint thinking about no hope no more[00:00:50]
I got my boots I kick it till I get with[00:00:52]
Adapt and overcome oh hum hum[00:00:55]
Go get my gun load up for fun and put down with the frown[00:00:57]
What goes round comes round from m l k to cascade[00:01:01]
I know its through them plenty figures[00:01:04]
Cocaine dealers walk the wrong side[00:01:07]
Up in they rides [00:01:08]
Looking cleaner then I seen them the last time[00:01:10]
Then selling dimes now its quarter keys stacking gs[00:01:12]
In the south indies[00:01:14]
My nigga them folks riding bicycles among vehicles[00:01:15]
Off in the hood[00:01:17]
Knowing each and every nigger sellin but can you blame[00:01:19]
The fact the only way a brother can survive the game[00:01:22]
The block hard to get by the dope dealing fatal killings[00:01:25]
In fair times so writing rhymes[00:01:28]
It aint just the police[00:01:30]
We kill each other just lost another brother[00:01:31]
Fast living will get you took [00:01:33]
Thinking it cant happen to you and then it do[00:01:35]
Off crooked schemes its just a dream[00:01:38]
Floating face down in the mainstream[00:01:40]
Think it is when it aint all peaches and cream[00:01:42]
Thats why some are found floating face down in the main stream[00:01:59]
They swan divin[00:02:01]
Fit they name be thrashing an album[00:02:02]
Go-kart rushin to finish their album then you find them[00:02:04]
Lost dog paddling back stroking what done happened [00:02:06]
Be rhymin catching the day when the recipe calls for black and[00:02:08]
Wrong ingredients [00:02:11]
Maybe too much herbs and spices [00:02:12]
Maybe you got hungry for the wrong dish[00:02:13]
Southern greens and this entice them how them joke the same[00:02:15]
So Im gonna sing just like them to get where they at[00:02:16]
Ill even break my by back to touch their rim if I gotta[00:02:17]
My alta mater be that I follow[00:02:19]
I bite whatever thats looking tasty water it down then swallow[00:02:20]
I hope you vomit wont call no names cause thats not my job[00:02:21]
It just applies to whom it may concern you know who you are[00:02:24]
But if you dont you never will you just receive the steel[00:02:26]
But then it might get ugly cause trust me niggas do feel[00:02:28]
The way that I felt when I wrote this but we must stay in focus[00:02:31]
We kings and queens up in this thing get rid of all them jokers[00:02:34]
Face down face down face down[00:02:36]
I let you stay in my crib now you know where I live[00:02:37]
When you was hungry fed you a hot meal look at the hand you deal[00:02:55]
Me crudball business giving niggers inches so here take a foot[00:03:00]
Luck only counts in rabbits feet and horseshoes [00:03:04]
Experience is sometimes the best teacher until we get our own plate[00:03:07]
I hope you dont mind me eating off of yours [00:03:11]
Process momma moping like jerry[00:03:14]
Meanwhile fairies of the street tinkling pixie dust over greenery[00:03:16]
Never to obtain another level of con-science[00:03:20]
Only to test to poke and see[00:03:23]
Why laying here they scheme over one another mouth to feed[00:03:26]
with a decision to make now words shake your destiny[00:03:29]
But a missle will take it all the way just as quick as you can say[00:03:33]
I wish I never did what I did now face this bid[00:03:37]
It was the company you kept the many places you slept[00:03:40]
When you shouldnt have geeking like a rat jumping like a trap[00:03:43]
Contributing to sin and your nigga bitch in the court showing paper thin[00:03:47]
Got you niggers where they want you again [00:03:53]
Floating face down in the mainstream[00:03:56]
Thats why thats why thats why[00:03:58]
Everybodys a player rubbin them kangols on their head[00:04:01]
Thinking its all about your clothes nigger its all about your self[00:04:10]
The way you feel about your life the times that you done shared with[00:04:13]
Your friends and family up and down like hoes give head[00:04:15]
To dicks oh six serving them in the mix but aint no mystery[00:04:18]
You know the history about this clique bitch[00:04:21]
Oh what you want me to call you slut [00:04:23]
Then why you f**king all them niggers letting them all up in your guts[00:04:26]
But see that aids Im afraid thats why I play the quiet role[00:04:28]
I lay in the cut every month thinking Ill let that fire roll[00:04:31]
Like chimneys and smoke signals maybe peace pipes even[00:04:35]
My partners call me big boi and my first name is not steven[00:04:37]
In the mainstream home team banging them with these hits[00:04:39]
In the mix flowing like some motherf**king swordfish[00:04:41]
