Lyrics

Girl, this motherfucker's got rhythm
 ♪
 Say am I 'posed to be dead or doin' life in prison?
 Just another dummy caught up in the system
 Unruly hooligan who belongs in Spofford
 Verse getting that degree at Stanford or Harvard
 Threatened by my work ethic, the way I speak, yo
 Should I be mentally weak, verse being Malik? Yo
 Should I be trapped in the trap? Would you prefer that?
 Fourth grade reading level but he knows how to rap
 Are you amused by our struggles? The English that's broken?
 The weed that I'm smokin'? The guns that I'm totin'?
 The drugs that I'm sellin'? No need for improvement
 Fuck you and who you think I should be, forward movement
 Melanated shrouded in complexity
 Brain charge shocking like 'lectricity
 Mouth translate happens organically
 The media relates it what it thinks it sees
 Judging steps in shoes of a path they never walked
 Shot down in a blaze of a phrases is how they talk
 Dark skinned, walk with a bot portrayed villain
 I'm chillin', felon down to the DNA crime willin'
 Subliminate their youth, hyper-sexualize their women
 They ain't got the strong enough hold, so they built the prisons
 Pumping false religions to all of these niggas' systems
 Every voice devoid of the truth, come on, listen
 (Man look at this, man look at this) Whatever will be will be
 Like a billionaire investin' in a nigga's dreams
 Certainly a head scratcher, like Pac and Big's killers' capture
 Or a women with the wisdom who's leadin' the way
 The rarity is in the rear, but never today
 Man, picture a PD lettin' good records play
 On the strength of what it is, not the finesse of your biz
 And your lady calls you dirty, her dirts under rugs
 You'll find out only if she tells you, take her kiss and hug, cuz
 In the answer for cancer in a prodigious kid's mind
 Yes, the government will fund, learning is free for everyone
 And from that lie, young leaders will rise, in the eyes of despair and adversity
 In some universe, this verse will be true
 Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'
 But whatever's gonna be will be
 Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'
 But whatever's gonna be will be
 Some will dash to the mountain, some will crawl
 And the weakest amongst them, they will fall
 But the strongest in faith, they will stand tall
 Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'
 But whatever's gonna be will be
 I just wanna feel as liberated as lions in Liberia
 'Cause recently my heart turned cold as Siberia
 'Cause everywhere I go, bein' cold is the criteria
 Let's see how well you know all your Tribe trivia
 Green and the white, we servin' that Nigeria
 North side of Queens, 1-9-2 is the area
 This is for my dawgs from Shih Tzus to Terriers
 Fuck it, it's showtime, Tip, make sure they hearing you
