lyrics
(verse one) ayo straight is how im hitting folks/ im here to play not use word play to get play or plays/ and after i say what i came to say im getting ghost/ riding clean not sitting on spokes/ providing the opposite of ignorant quotes/ this is what God given talent and diligence does/ does because the buzz isnt worth the fuss/ the rush comes to a hush/ and the lust erupts/ when the luster of love is rubbed and spit shinned/ pucker up for a sucker punch/ you gonna get yours if you say i'm in it to get mine/ so sit confined/ in solitary not a lot of variables or variation to the very engagement we engage with patience/ so pay the piper and play your station/ praise the Provider and hate the satan (chorus) now you can take the man out the street/ not the street out the man/ im a be what i am so you see what im saying (repeat once) (verse two) vintage said/ it aint gon be complex, gotta flex your own/ cant lean on the beat like a sectional/ raised round the mean streets of the projects fa sho/ just so you know/ i don't mention for merit/ see winton terrace was a different place/ i was a bit embarrassed living in winton place/ cause it didnt seem as hood as grimy/ it could be the nineties/ and raps i listened to/ which imprison impressionable/ lesser to do youth with immeasurable/ odds stacking against em/ no money for lunch but their parents got a package of winston or newports/ i learned about the birds and the bees from too short/ the nonsense is constant/ promoted as prominent content/ dominant bondage/ partakers are yoked up/ ask a part player ill parlay a bet/ he will say so what/ enslaved and so stuck (chorus) (verse three) the value of cool isnt valuable/ if you value a fool/ pump the volume the fuel/ dumb it down for the proud and prude/ come around crowd/ the crew/ loud loose/ wild confused/ stunt with their style all the while refuse/ to admit/ the active/ ingredient is neediness/ longing for belonging/ feeding a fix/ a median mix/ for the reason we exist/ to relate properly/ to the Creator who made pottery/ for noble and common use/ so the focus of my rhyming is the truth/ man i been where you been walked a mile in your shoes/ evidence of my offense is childish pursuits/ leverage to ignorance isnt denial or delusion/ so i got to keep it moving/ and the proof is in the pudding/ poof to the illusion (chorus)
