lyrics

I move in this matrix, working for the Lucrative payments

Everything I Spew is greatness & it’s proven contagious

Philly the plague, spreading over eye contact

This is class Cuban cigars some high cognac —In taste

y’all niggas movin at a snail’s pace

Hookahs & vapes, cheese wine & fresh grapes

This is the feeling of blowing refer to Kurtis Blow in 81

shouting out - “These are The Breaks”

We-need-all-the-cake,
the beat on I need all the bass

Hit the gas & i ease off the breaks

We gotta get by, hardscrabble this is life in the Chi

Post traumatic before he shot he looked him right in his eyes

He survived— what U gon do? murder or forgiveness

Just think of how many men be lurking w/ a vengeance

Ready to kill, on site, he know it and he meant it

Police at every door like Jehovah had a witness (it’s diffiferent)
➖➖➖➖➖
➖➖➖➖➖
The harsh realities of life it takes a tolls mentally

Head down go for the goal and take what’s meant for me

I was searching for my soul so I took it Willingly

Philharmonic devoted to the ghetto Symphony

It was meant for me— it kept me out the Penetinary

It kept me sane & I would write just to feel the energy

Really share it with the kids show em what the vision be

That’s why anytime you mention the real, mention me

Found a gun when I was 10 what a hood tendency

Power, the courage level where the grown men would be

This is something in my hand that put grown men to sleep

brother, uncle, & cousin or maybe even me

Nas, “I Gave You Power” I would play it on the sneak

In the mirror two-hand clutching finger underneath

My granny found the fucking gun could’ve gave it to the D’s

Instead she sold that bitch & made us some cheese (it’s different)
