lyrics

Watch it watch him take the wallet out yo pocket
Call it pickin cotton out the somewhat solid socket
Try to resist and he'll take the glock out and cock it
He's not even black bitch that's what we call a plot twist
Hot shit ninja spit it raw like the lochness
The contest is how much of what we say is really honest
The high school comments I pay em no attention
This song is where I can fuckin leave our own dimension
I can't sell out cos I've already done that
Working 40 hours so I break my fucking dumb back
I owe my mama money and I'm tryna pay it all back
I'm only seventeen and that's three thousand dollar (dollar) facts
Holler at a bunch of girls even though I fucking got one
What makes it fucking worse is that she's actually a hot one
I'm just fucked up I promise I'm not on one
Cut my fucking dick off just to let you know that I'm done

Hold it down hold it down hold it down

I for one am writing all this shit in hopes to sign one
Contract to sell my soul cos I really need to buy one
House for my family a nice life til times done
A platform to send my message out to all the blind ones
Um you know it um um I'm flowin
Dropping any beat at my feet and I will go in
At the closing of this year you will notice money pour in
I just saw some booty on the bus id like to score in
Fuck I got distracted may have caught a disease
See raps my prophylactic I will swat it with ease
And I will nod at the B’s the blind bigots at peace
With being ignorant please a smidge of hope is a tease
I'm tired of passive aggressive conversations with thee
It's like an arrow lodged in the bone marrow of my knee
But I'm the pharaoh of glee and hiding pain you see
Cos fuckin fake it till you make is the motto indeed

Watching on the television schism is livid Too many
killings of individuals gifted and grinning Living and
sinning yeah everybody living Sinnin cos if we
Didn't would we really living ?
Peace without pain don't mean the same we all
Work for the change that we strive to gain cos if
Don't then we might as well die in vain From
what I'm saying y'all gon claim I'm insane I'll paint a
Picture with my tongue and state the minds the game
Different skins colors hide and we sign their name
Cos they be dying by the gun though their minds the same
And all most people do is fuckin lie and pray Too
scared too scared physically impaired
The reality is simply that they really don't care
They just staring and glaring uncaring of the fuckin fact
That they model theur behavior off of others fuckin acts (echo)
Other fuckin acts
Form another pact keeping it all intact
As I carry all this burden Ima break my damn back
See my mind is really hurting when the gat go blat
Stressing causing tension when I'm writing this sentence the penance
Count the blessings cos I ready steady been guessing Addressing the
mess and I'm pressing down a lesson in message I'm
Tempted not to fucking decimate or rend my intentions
