Album | Tobacco Road |
I’m hollerin’ at your feminine side, is it or isn’t it genuine? | |
Let women decide, for men will ever judge from within this | |
Minute in time, and the standard I’m held to is | |
From another planet, I landed here when mine fell through | |
Alienated by no paleontological ties | |
But never is this kid discredited by the honorable | |
All rise, son – the sun presides, the abominable | |
Find it comical I call my shine beyond nominal, uh | |
My handle fine-tuned to channel 19 | |
Address my living letter is better left unsigned | |
Though punctual, no wonder you’re some kind of comfortable | |
Stomach full of lunch-line chuck and junk food | |
Empty calories will soon catch up, comments are | |
Covered in condiments, son it must have been my fat gene’s dominant | |
Common represents the conjugate that heaven sent to compliment | |
The veteran’s accomplishment, the conscious honor it, but | |
Whispers of them do us like we’re disingenuous, like | |
You only rock it for the paper that’s thrown | |
As if this is an end to my condition of indigence | |
Nah, we holdin’ stock in something sacred as stone | |
So when victims of insolence rise above the influence | |
I open the flock to those who made it alone | |
It’s the mission of men who just write despite ignorance | |
Yo, with swollen pockets we gon’ take it back home | |
SCRATCH HOOK: | |
This goes out to all my people in the city (repeated) | |
Where we don’t get caught up in between with the nonsense | |
This goes out to all my people in the city (repeated) | |
Never worryin’ about grief | |
Define your residence, if these 4 walls simply shelter you from elements | |
I recommend you get out more | |
Off base you face a down pour, catch a taste of what the | |
Town’s renowned for, these spates will drown y’all | |
Slick and precipitous, I’m bloodied up, to the | |
City of Brotherly Love, 206 is the antithesis | |
My tolerance is type ridiculous, though I | |
Continuously seek forgiveness for the shit I wished upon you | |
A disservice to mom dukes – she raised me better | |
For her baby, set a greater precedent to gage and measure success | |
And I know she will never love me no less | |
But you sycophants are sick, ugly and grotesque | |
I’m amongst the monstrous who breathe fire out the nostrils | |
Akin to conquerors you read about in the gospels | |
Inhospitable are the Pontius, Pilate the prefect | |
These Sea-dwellin’ fellas aint accepted me yet | |
So I stay on my biz and if he play the periphery he | |
Control the block around the space them cats own | |
I see this state of misery as the greatest gift to me, yo | |
My golden op will be escapin’ that drone | |
See I’m a late epiphany, uh, away from mendicancy | |
I told ‘em stop it, son – don’t wait for that loan | |
I heard they say it’s trickery, but we’re makin’ history | |
Yo, with swollen pockets we gon’ take it back home | |
