Yeah...when I wrote this, I told myself that I, I ain't want a hook I just wanted to speak what was on my heart...there's a lot going on in the world, and... A lot of people don't wanna speak on it...my personal life and everything...so...that's what this is... Thoughts running through my mind and I can't catch 'em physically Tryna slow it down & speak it to you lyrically Visibly, it's looking like the population's feelin' me But I'm feeling like the constant wait's constantly k**in' me This is more than the bars & beats The bright lights, being stars, & cheeks That means broads to beat, but I want my n***as that starve to eat And change what they been through like it's "Quantum Leap" Oh...boy, I say it daily The Life & Times of R. Bailey They threw me in the field like a shortstop I showed a lotta love, then I saw shots, I barrel-rolled on 'em like I'm StarFox Watching the Trayvon case with my fam "k** the n***as" seems to be the bigger plan sh** is sickening, I feel it and I'm wishing for a stand Where they switch it, f** a picket, start a riot, fix the land Dodging stones that was thrown by the hidden hand If you find it, would you mind to be the bigger man? In my city, Nike boots...no Timberlands But the n***as put in work that don't deal with construction More like the opposite, dealing with destruction I'm structuring the bars & I'm k**ing the production k** it, yeah, I k** it 'til producers can't function Truly I'm a product of my state, do you feel it? So now you think twice when you hearing that I k** it Vocab realest, no cut cards Just sentences I'm shootin' at as I bust bars Bust off, climax, outcome, fire tracks Make a movie with the music, it's looking like iMax Now my buzz bubble like I was typing in iChat I done lost a lot of things that I can't buy back No receipt...no refund No time machine to get it re-done No time to re-do it & be young We just get older, we just get wiser 'Cuz scars tend to be permanent like Kaiser Destined to shine, your best bet is a visor But if you try to dim it, I'mma only get brighter Mike Jack', Vybz Kartel, it gets lighter Dhalsim, I reach farther & spit fire Speak my mind and commit to be honest And keep my drive like a promise - you can't break it Soul naked, they're clothed & basic I bare it all & dare the world to face it... Yeah...soul naked, they're clothed & basic, I bare it all & dare the world to face it... Uh...soul naked, they're clothed & basic, I bare it all & dare the world to face it... Yeah...
