Yeah, let's go It's like I lost my mind from the time I was a child Growing up in a world that's designed to make you wild Seeing the things I saw either made me wise or insane As a result, i question info that enters my brain This ain't a game, I remember standing in the gutter Wondering if my life would go this way or another Worried about my little brother and my sister being safe I swear it's like I'll never have enough on my plate For goodness sake at 13, helping mom with the bills While my neighbors stopped me at the corner asking for pills Writing down some rhymes just so I could escape Stopped watching the news, got tired of hearing violence and rape F*ck a mixtape, I'm trying to send a message Don't take this life for granted and always count your blessings And feel the presence of an essence that is bigger than words Don't end up swimming with fishes, I'm trying to fly with the birds I'm trying to send a message, it needs to be heard I wanna change a life when I say these words Promoting violence is wrong, keep your head in the books And beat the system so we can become wise crooks Wise crooks, yeah You don't need to sell, don't wanna hear that final bell Wise crooks, yeah Have you noticed we get lied to every day News manipulating you to see the world a certain way Whether it's being racist or not, you're supposed to react Meanwhile they're trying to take your rights away, you know it's a fact You may be blind now, but I'll open up your eyes That most of the news you watch is some act of spreading lies While you're asking why another day goes by With no answers and confusion watching so many die Baltimore got destroyed and y'all thought it would help But you really only made it worse for yourself You should stick to the grind and gain some more knowledge So one day you'll leave a mark and you'll have others pay homage Thats my main goal to leave a difference in the world So when you're grown up your brain ain't all twisted and curled Listen to my words and hear my voice Because whether or not they like it, you have a choice I'm trying to send a message, it needs to be heard I wanna change a life when I say these words Promoting violence is wrong, keep your head in the books And beat the system so we can become wise crooks Wise crooks, yeah You don't need to sell, don't wanna hear that final bell Wise crooks All around the world same song All around the world same song All around the world same song Wise crooks
