[Verse 1: NOK] See I'm a rebel with a cause A rebel with a soul But sometimes it feels like the devil got a hold Stringing me along like japetto Tryna escape jakes grip cause he be swarming the ghetto My mom's always warned if I settle I'd be playing myself short cause I was born something special I can feel it in the core of my mental Evil surrounds, it's like a weight and its keeping me down I can see it in some homies but I keep em around I keep, friends close, my enemies closer A fencepost between my feelings and my green Truth in my lies, sometimes, concealing what I mean My reality, is like dealing with a dream Cause sh** ain't always what it seems Cause most n***as demonized, I see it in they eyes when I look I can read em like a book I drop knowledge on em and see it when they shook When I speak on the government and freedoms they done took See, them demons again I told yall from the start Now you can understand all this coldness in my heart but Im a play the back and see if they front And watch and really see what they want (Repeat) Im a play the back and see if they front And watch and really see what they want [Chorus 1: NOK] Yeah ya boy is back, ya boy adapt through the bad times Ya boy intact Ya boy making noise all across the map, yeah Yeah ya boy is back (x2) [Verse 2: NOK] From the wombhome to the tombstone What matters is what happens in between See what I mean? Life is measured by things you did when you breath And then you resurrected through ya seeds n***as got they eyes in the sky While cats got they hands in they pockets With plans they concocted Ignorance is bliss, laughing and sipping Christ Its 2008 man, rappers is getting rich (right?) (Verse break) The image portrayed they stacking and getting chips But half of em ain't acting how they live I try to get reaction of the people in whole They try to get reactions of the kids so records are sold So now you know when the message is dropped Don't give a sh** if you accept it or not [Chorus 2: NOK] Yeah ya boy is back, ya boy adapt through the bad times Ya boy intact Ya boy making noise all across the map, yeah Yeah ya boy is back (x2) (PRODUCED BY TRIPSTONE)
