Intro: (Voice mail operator)
[1st verse:]
I'm in the studio -
Composing flows to let my PAIN out/
Cause if I wasn't rapping -
I will probably Blow my Brains out/
Phone is on Silence - WHY? -
Cause I don't want to hang out/
Say they down to Ride?! -
But I KNOW thats something - they ain't bout/
Music super loud -
As I'm cruising through Atlanta/
Swerving in the Burban -
But I treat it like a Phantom/
See you don't know the standards -
Of the God - that you're vibing too/
Feel the vibration -
Trunk Quaking - as I'm riding through/
sh** I be providing you -
Should really cost you more!/
I ELEVATE Your MIND -
Have you had them thoughts before?/
And it be such a bore -
When I hear these n***as songs/
The sh** that they be rapping bout -
So MOTHERfu*kING dumb/
And I ain't talking bout the kids -
Cause they're still young/
I used to rap the same -
But Now! - Look what I've become?/
They label me a Raptivist -
In other words a Great!/
But they rapping bout Selling Dope -
And they over 38?!/...W.T.F. man..
[Hook:]
It comes a time -
When you gotta face the facts/
This RAP GAME -
Its time we take it back/
Lets talk about some real sh** -
And find another way/
Cause if it don't change -
We won't see another day/
We're s**ered with the pain -
I ain't trying to point the blame/
You don't think its GENOCIDE? -
But its one and the same/
I'm trying to make a difference -
But they trying to keep me down/
Want to hear some real music? -
Well this is how it sounds!/...real talk...
[2nd verse:]
I bet you got it twisted -
You don't know who to trust?/
So many rapping a** n***as -
Trying to sound like us!/
Try to go against the squad -
Then them rounds will bust/
And yea I got some "white homies" -
Who are down for us!/
And I don't care -
If you're LIGHT-SKINNED or GREEN?!/
As long as we're "Fighting for THE CAUSE" -
Then you ALL on my Team/
If "They" try to intervene -
We gone show "Them" bout this POWER/
BURN THIS b*tch DOWN!! -
In less than a hour/
We sick of "all the cowards" -
Who be spreading "all them lies"/
We Trading War Stories -
Hope you n***as picking sides!/
Its the Recordings of a RAPTIVIST
You know - and half of this/
sh** that I be writing -
Is what they be reciting/
Divided like a hyphen -
Now we're "Fighting Together"/
Brainstorming through this Weather -
I can Strike ya whenever/
Hit ya twice with that metal -
"They" don't like that {We're} Rebels/
{We} some [Gods] and you b**hes -
More than likely are [DEVILS]/...4'real...
[Hook:]
It comes a time -
When you gotta face the facts/
This RAP GAME -
Its time we take it back/
Lets talk about some real sh** -
And find another way/
Cause if it don't change -
We won't see another day/
We're s**ered with the pain -
I ain't trying to point the blame/
You don't think its GENOCIDE? -
But its one and the same/
I'm trying to make a difference -
But they trying to keep me down/
Want to hear some real music? -
Well this is how it sounds!/...real talk...
