When he was a kid he was the joker |
|
Low potential, straight mediocre |
|
Class clown, sneak off out the back door |
|
Long hair leave a grease spot on the black board |
|
C'mon honey take off that bra |
|
Tryin to hit a homerun in your mom's garage |
|
He loved graffiti, it opened him |
|
Creeped down the alley with a can of rustoleum |
|
Canvas, that flat surface |
|
He learned quick to control the nervousness |
|
If it aint buildin he burnt the bridge |
|
And no he dont give a damn what the curfew is |
|
Chased away all the saving grace |
|
While them old folks ****** about the way hes raised |
|
Southside Minnea******osphere |
|
Get ya running from the cops just for practice here |
|
Well what do ya know he got older |
|
Trying to apply what childhood showed him |
|
Everybody left out in that cold |
|
To try to learn how to manage all that weight on his shoulders |
|
We all want the easy life a piece of the pie that'll keep us high |
|
So turn it up til' the speakers cry |
|
And don't quit til' you reach the sky, c'mon |
|
c'mon |

|
And as an adult he took a good look |
|
Stayed away from the gangs and the crooks |
|
Even though he came from the same neighborhood |
|
So he fully understood that gang textbook |
|
Stay original be individual |
|
Push the pedal and never settle for the typical |
|
Feed your children look out for your people |
|
Live and let live and each one teach those |
|
Good luck get a tight defense |
|
And i hope you can depend on your higher sense |
|
Blanked emcees let em grow for |
|
The followers, felons, the fallen soldiers |
|
Hey rapper, we know it don't stop |
|
But don't forget about the folks on your block |
|
hey ****man what you doin with the cash crop |
|
****** up gettin fat, ****** up fellow have nots |
|
hey preacher, politician |
|
is that the house you live in |
|
how's the kitchen |
|
hey policeman dont bother |
|
even as a kid i only played robbers and robbers |
|
headphone activists |
|
aggressive pacifists |
|
i aint saying you gotta kill cops |
|
just look at your life check what its built off |
|
c'mon |
