[Verse 1: Homeboy Sandman]
The people that I don't say n***a for, think that I'm stuck up cause I don't say n***a
They only cared about my hat when it was Mitchell & Ness
And only read my article when they's on Huff Po, make me reflect
On when I felt that I was losing my way told LRG, Puma, and Red Bull
I'll pa**. Dabbled in selling out, wasn't about that
But keeping it about the music nearly made me an outcast
Label gotta wait another year to recoup
Cause I can't get any attention from the agency group
They don't sign a cat cause his show's awesome
They sign cats for being in mags I told off
Once I'm a household name it's only a matter of time before they gotta murder me
'Till then a million people listen to Sand
But everyone think they're the only one that heard of me
[Hook]
We all got a got damn cross to bear
(4x)
Even me
[Verse 2: YC The Cynic]
Young n***a done did the research. You ain't even know it
You just bought a new Che Guevara t-shirt. At least it ain't Abercrombie
My ace boon coon organized the rally
U ain't even going. Damn
I went with the shepherd to walk the valley
My guardian gone like orphan Annie
I guess I'll fight for your child's equality, higher salary, dying economy
Cynic so nice what a bright anomaly. Threw a fist up tryna fight the cavalry
Damn
Who'll be the sacrifice in 3 days come back to life a new savior and king in his afterlife, accept fate do the same damn thing and sleep fast at night?
Well
[Hook]
We all got a got damn cross to near
(4x)
Even me
[Verse 3: YC The Cynic]
6'1 in the middle of life
We die young, dodge guns in the city of light
The lights off so the mice roam any and all
And pythons don't bark so the bigger the bite
Cops don't like getting involved unless any and all the black folks packed into the morgue
Or backdoor backed into the bars, the long arms of the law
The Young Lords spent many a night
Fall soft hard head take a little advice
There's a cost for defending what's right
You could waste time winning the fight
But theres going on with no ending in sight
What u gone set your sights on when your 3rd eyes on your I phone and the lights shut off?
I'm on pale white horse fighting the law with other life forms going light years into the night
