I Self Devine - Twentyfourseven lyrics

[Intro] [Hook] We be all in the struggle, man Grind hard, Twentyfourseven, man Need more leveraging Down for whatever, fam We be all in the struggle, man Grind hard, Twentyfourseven, man Need more leveraging Down for whatever, fam [Verse 1: I Self Devine] Finely diced in the cut chopped up Stir fried in the wok like mock duck “Whateva whateva” we say in the mornin' Cause whatever gon' pop without warnin' Peace to myself cause I need help Hold a piece to the rich cause I need wealth Blue collar sh** A few dollars spent Violent product of my environment Young G's fiends to blow trees Young teens with nails and hair weaves Only build with the leaders Check individuals hard without heaters I believe in me—"freedom or d**h", what I said to police I'm the true and living ruler Kicking j**els in the kitchen, I'm too driven [Hook] [Verse 2: Sims] Waking up to the head buzzing, blood pumping No time for using the snooze, flip on the news Nah, f** it, unplug it Time to view something new Something to loosen the screws No time for that Got to keep the mind intact 40 hours of the spinal tap just to keep the spot I'm at But that's just how is goes So the motto, "Not just another spoke with lottery hopes" Working man, dirty hands, sturdy plan Crush it through the hustle Trudge—I‘m a slow moving train Y'all just stutter-step don't use your brain I pa** another test I lend another hand While the rest would let ‘em fall like the other man I take the upper hand I'm calling up my mans We're taking over on the other hand Snap that rubber band 1982 to a hundred grand [Hook] [Verse 3: Mike Mictlan] It was a map in a hash pipe A half-lit matchstick One hand on a gas pump We blazed til we pa**ed out The Blues and a Mag-Lite A half-way highway patrollee “Two hands on the dashboard slowly!” I'm used to the downright no-good outlook A few good men look out for the bad bunch If only looks could k** “Look ma' no bag lunch, just a body bag and a magnum”—“Have Fun!” They lash out and you whip your lashes Another day, another kid, another campus Another human interest story for the ma**es Cause to the rest of them it's just subhuman madness Take a deep breath, The Struggle is indefinite Take another breath Our freedom is so irrelevant But we don't ever forget That we won't ever regret That we all in it We live, we die, we rise, because...
