Swala Row - Less of Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Ain't nobody perfect I walk this whole Earth's surface In need, in search of a purpose If I do what them other dude's do that you like at worthless Then sh** I might deserve it But in case I'm on my sh** getting bands and grips Then you can see the other side of the mix The fact that a n***a never had sh** And when opportunity didn't knock I never knew the word quit You got to work twice as hard to get half as rich Take two steps forward then fall in a ditch That's how this world is setup and n***as getting fed up With the struggle of the hustle just trying to keep they bread up My n***as working all day just trying to find a way To escape from the world's heartaches and pains So if it's a look of disgust or mistrust when you see us Then we don't really give a f** [Hook] So if you see me on the block chilling with the Gs, please don't think any less of me And if you see me tatted up to my white T-shirt sleeve, don't think any less of me And if hanging on the street is where you heard I be, please don't think any less of me And if this gangsta style rap is what influences me please don't think any less of me [Verse 2] It's bad enough these crackers judge me by the color of my skin Looking at what's without rather than what's within Know we all commit the same sin again and again But I guess some people just love to pretend They'll never know my people we are not created equal I build the story that you read through for my son to create the sequel Lethal is spoonfuls of the sh** they try to feed you Teachers and the news mislead you The lies between the lines never bleed through And we all too blind know it's evil Our thirst for power, see that sh** that that greed do I just hope my son knows how to read too Being stuck in the thick will make you sick So they start selling brick trying to leave the hood quick But they play into the plan see that man got the stick My fam thinks I slipped but I got a good grip [Hook] So if you see me on the block chilling with the Gs, please don't think any less of me And if you see me tatted up to my white T-shirt sleeve, don't think any less of me And if hanging on the street is where you heard I be, please don't think any less of me And if this gangsta style rap is what influences me please don't think any less of me [Verse 3] You don't understand me well neither does my family This life ain't all unicorns and candy Who's your inspiration when you got the weight of generations Holding on to you like a nation? Keep the jobs in rotation, take no donation Even if you are on the brink of starvation You keep concentration with no hesitation But man I done ran out of patience See the frustration? Of after graduation? Still ain't got an occupation So you move locations try to switch stations But the whole system has a lack of foundation Luckily for me I don't need them credentials I got strong mind and infinite potential If you catch me with my hood on know I stood strong And I kept it Swala way after the song [Hook] So if you see me on the block chilling with the Gs, please don't think any less of me And if you see me tatted up to my white T-shirt sleeve, don't think any less of me And if hanging on the street is where you heard I be, please don't think any less of me And if this gangsta style rap is what influences me please don't think any less of me
