King Los - Sing About Me (Intro) lyrics

[Verse] Stuck in this life, stuck in the prison Stuck by perception and lack of vision Stuck by design, not by decision Stuck in my ways, stuck in the system, I'm stuck But f** having an image I really be f**in' with you 'cause you don't be rappin' them gimmicks Your vernacular is something supreme, surpa**ing the limits See my everyday struggle was actually academics my n***a You got it mastered, I'd be considered the average Joe, but in these streets I've adapted well to these tactics Impregnated with sin, made money my wife And that's 'cause a Lexus is valued more than a life in my hood I heard your papa got murdered when you was young Seen an interview, you spoke on emotion, how you was numb But you still grew and did it congruent to doing something you love I think it's love how you made it out where you from See the truth is an art that even the hardest can feel Spit that block sh**, you need to get back with Marty for real I'm glad he fought his appeal 'Cause when them crackers tryna crack you they make you targets for real But tell me God isn't real The very thought of a sk** that dedication could nurture Furthers my intuition that hesitation could hurt you Be strong, be humble, be wise, be on your sh** Be quick on your feet, be hip to these n***as that's on your dick Real sh**, stay up on your focus and observation Pick your friends by characteristics and conversation Good word is worth more than a billion f** celebrity, money should never motivate man More than integrity, see They trapped my body but never could take my mind I had every watch that money could buy, but wasted time Pushed every car a n***a could dream but lacked the drive To take the smarter road so to speak, but that was pride The black race is no rat race, a competion I can't even get a letter from b**hes I sponsored, trickin' Tricked into thinking it was some loyalty to this sh** That she would see me locked and treat me like royalty in this b**h You got something special, and your speech is specified It's like an extra vibe that keeps your message electrified See I was known for packing a MAC, crackin' a forty Stackin', mackin' a shorty Back and forth in New York, n***as pushin' packages for me All that hazardous glory The pressures of perseverance, won't let my pa**ions ignore me but Ashes to ashes, we're living life like a movie verse really mappin' the story I won't be back 'til I'm forty but I promise this All my future achievements and accomplishments Will be based on cognitive equity and consciousness But you can't buy a soda, it ain't for sponsorship This for my real street n***as, shorty you are the sh** I got n***as all in the pen sayin' you hard as sh** And I don't do friendships, I do partnerships You play your part, I play my part, and we go far as sh** Remember steel sharpen steel so it still ain't no reason to let n***as chill around you if they dull as sh** 'Cause when all this sh** said and done and we call it quits I hope that your legacy shine Press down, shake it and run it seventy times I wish you heaven divine, a million blessings a line I pray it's never a second your brilliant essence decline I say this sh** just to say I used all these lessons to climb So every time I felt lost, the more direction I find Your rare essence in mind, is rooted beyond deep Like Pac said, the rose that grew from the concrete, is you I watched you full out bloom in a dark room Unfold from the inside then flew out of your cocoon Your imagination, concentration, fascination To trial and tribulation, to master your transformation I hope you take this message in with all of your growth Hit the studio, make a mixtape, and call it the G.O.A.T Peace
