[Verse 1]
This world ain't for people
Who don't work, whats the steeple?
Its good to have vision but dreamin ain't sh** if it don't leave cerebral
You can't paint with an easel
The word maybe is evil
I mean options are great but you gotta be definite
n***a f** estimates
You the prerequisite for your success
Don't wait on "okays" to progress
You driven but chill in the parking deck
You are an architect
But your art ain't detected
Unless you gon market to telepaths, get the telegram and embark on that quest/
Make people say "damn I miss"
Make people say
"Yo this dude's fire but now my house burned down and I didn't ask for this...
I can't cover the damages..."
Its not funny guys I can barely buy sandwiches"
Drop your pants and give people an a** to kiss
Be Dragon spit
n***a you gon f** poets and actresses
And you gon fist s**y activists
You gon make Pluto a planet again
You gon strike fear like white boys who reach in they bag with a grin
Remind em there's magic in Tim
WHOA
PUMP THE BRAKES
[Hook 1]
ni**a YOU NEED TO
Grab life by the dick and get a good grip, (Probably)
You, Need, To
Be the realest but Don't condone no bullsh**
You, Need, To
Grab life by the dick and get a good grip
You, Need, To
Be the realest but Don't condone no bullsh**
Now now ni**a YOU NEED TO
[Verse 2]
This world is a sh**storm
A clusterf** hurricane ruthlessly spun we get f**ed every day wish the dicks was warm
Scalp the innocent like it's a wig farm
They ask me where do I get will from
I say "West Philadelphia born and raised"
When I get lost traveling foreign lanes in the pourin' rain
And they want me to mourn the pain
Or Cobain
That's my shot to take bites at surrender and render oppressors confused when my smile could have tour dates
Knowing my life ain't a sure thing
Theres lot of pigment
Sanitize the cities
Desensitize (Desensitize) The ones who don't live in it
Devalue the lives of the tinted
And question why we're so livid
It's a cycle they ignite us then they hose down our flames
You know monkeys can't come out their cage
You a thug if you show any semblance of rage
They expect you to flip, be a stat or a name
Yes you've earned every riot
Pain and no gain
Better learn to keep quiet and stay in your lane
They'll make you a villain and use your own blood as the paint
Wanna live?
[Hook 2]
ni**a YOU NEED TO
Grab life by the dick and get a good grip
You need to
Show your talents but Don't succumb to bullets
You need to
Grab life by the dick and get a good grip
You need to
Show your talents but Don't succumb to bullets
Now now n***a you need to
[Hook 3]
Grab life by the dick and get a good grip, (Probably)
You, Need, To
Be the realest but Don't condone no bullsh**
You need to
Grab life by the dick and get a good grip
You need to
Show your talents but Don't succumb to bullets
Now now n***a you need to
