I'm a be alright, live my life as long as I'm alive I ride on five eighty but I'm not an eighty fiver Usually exit high enough to fly like Egyptian gliders Bringing the message to the black man like Elijah Honorable, did I mention? No dissent among the strivers No tension, the fights are just the lessons in life I'm a subscriber to the call that's final Fiend for the knowledge like my DJ fiends for vinyl Hold the microphone like a habitual user Like winos clutch wine bottles in my (Their) d**h grotto until my skin gets mottled Don't expect to get coddled 'cause see me patna I wasn't raised in no family that got up to pops reading stocks It was more like he was down the block at my uncles Rolling up chops, getting off knocks Had the whole damn neighborhood on lock Back before the game was hard like rocks Yet lightweight like Glocks this sh** don't stop
