P.o.d. - Freestyle lyrics

Kids coming up from the alleys not like the valleys Southtown San Diego rats out here in Cali So Cal with the crew to show 'em how You like me now, with the sound straight underground Putt'n it down, lift up this j**el that i have found And pa** it around, flowing against the crowd Hip-hop hardknox rhy'm soon as the tune drops Negative small talks, homie start kick'n rocks And take it down the blocks where it belongs A demo of songs but they wouldn't put me on Thought i was gone, too late, but who's to say My pockets are empty and i got dues to pay (B section) To the tic toc you don't stop To the tic toc you don't quit, hit it (Chorus) Freestyle, freak with the flava it's the sure shot Floss up the Ave. when the shot gets hot Still pay'n dues and knock 'em out the box That's how it is homie like it or not It's bad enough late bills keep stacking up No one ever told me that it would cost this much So buckle up and come along for the ride Catching the vibes nd staying true to my tribe I got mad love for the ones that still around Knew you'd be down from the get-go here and now You make me proud from the diapers to the grave No masquerade, stayed the same like in the day And one day when we all get saved We're gonna change the world no matter what they say And stay real playing what we feel I'll keep praying for you while you shoot to thrill (B section) (Chorus) (Bridge) It's been a long time It's been a long time com'n Hated by many and loved by less Hold the thresh, resurrected here in the West Clinch the fist; dismiss the stereotype myths Loose lips sink ships, then plead the fifth You hated this, no reason you hated this If you only knew you'd be the first to enlist We come in love cause its just how we does Fit the frame staying the same as it ever was (B section) (chorus) (Bridge)
