[00:18.86] If all I saw was gangsters
[00:20.75] Coming up as a youngster
[00:21.82] Pussy and money the only language I clung ta
[00:24.11] Claim ta, unrolled myself up to become one
[00:26.29] Ain't ya happy I chose rap
[00:28.39] I'm amongst tha
[00:29.46] Streets deceiving
[00:30.33] Can't believe my achievements
[00:31.68] Cultural strata
[00:32.68] Persona's that of a non-needer
[00:33.82] Because I don't need nada except for Prada beaver
[00:36.55] For cold winters, tattoos got my summer's sleeveless
[00:38.62] To my g's on the flee from the coppers
[00:41.54] Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors
[00:43.64] From the slums I come up a phoenix
[00:45.91] Caked up, tryna take what I'm eating
[00:48.03] Came up a dismissive kid
[00:49.75] You lucky if you allowed to witness this
[00:52.15] Savvy mouth
[00:53.56] Wild, hardly
[00:54.69] A man's man
[00:55.43] Who woulda knew the beach houses and wild parties
[00:57.63] Jezebel's and Stella McCartney's
[00:59.36] For years, all that
[01:01.06] How could I not be dead
[01:02.57] This old German
[01:03.72] Said I was a thug with a notty head
[01:05.11] Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled
[01:07.34] With a face like he wonder where I got my bread
[01:09.72] Probably all these stones he see
[01:12.29] From my shows overseas
[01:13.56] From crime to rhyme
[01:15.78] My stories is I'm from the home of the thieves
[01:35.45] Blessed
[01:37.54] The lord is a g, he gotta be
[01:39.06] Who's the God of suckers and snitches
[01:39.89] The economy
[01:41.18] Lipstick from Marilyn Monroe
[01:42.57] Blew a death kiss to Fidel Castro
[01:44.30] He'd want me to spit this
[01:45.82] Only the strong survive
[01:47.26] Nas bear witness
[01:48.52] The hypocrisy is all I can see
[01:50.68] White cop acquitted for murder
[01:52.08] Black cop cop a plea
[01:53.19] That type of shit make me stop and think
[01:55.40] We in chronic need of a second look of the law books
[01:57.59] And the whole race dichotomy
[02:00.15] Too many rappers, athletes, and actors
[02:02.37] But not enough niggas in NASA
[02:04.86] Who give you the latest dances, trends, and fashion
[02:07.32] But when it comes to residuals, they look past us
[02:09.65] Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us
[02:11.99] Even in white tee's, blue jeans, and red bandanas
[02:42.74] Assassinations
[02:44.66] Diplomatic relations
[02:45.78] Killed indigenous people
[02:47.06] Built a new nation
[02:48.21] Involuntary labor
[02:49.35] Took a knife split a woman naval
[02:50.61] Took her premature baby
[02:51.93] Let her man see you rape her
[02:53.26] If I could travel to the 1700's
[02:54.83] I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite
[02:57.02] Through your covenant
[02:57.84] Love to sit in on the Senate
[02:59.03] And tell the whole government
[03:00.31] Y'all don't treat women fair
[03:01.49] She read about herself in the bible
[03:02.83] Believing she the reason sin is here
[03:04.25] You played her, with an apron
[03:06.25] Like bring me my dinner, dear
[03:06.93] She the nigger here
[03:08.17] Ain't we in the free world
[03:09.61] Death penalty in Texas kill young boys and girls
[03:11.63] Barbarity, I'm in the double-R casually
[03:14.19] Bugging how I made it out the hood, dazzle me
[03:17.00] How far we really from third world savagery
[03:19.45] When the empire fall, imagine how crazy that'll be
