All I need's my own distillery And a pill to bleed Y'all are killing me Like Zodiacs, don't hold me back I'm versatile, like Kodie Black, you owe me daps Your phony raps are only whack, we only laugh I still run streets like I'm Owney Mad, I still got my homies back Even if it's raining and the sun falls down My fathers' looking down and saw his son fall down But like I shaved my whole head, he'll watch his son ball now There's nothing like the feeling of verses just like a bible Reaching out to a child that might have been suicidal Smoking a Black and Mild, and killing a pedophile It's murder in the streets just to right these wrongs Two wrongs make a right, but when the lights come on And we're caught swimming deep and they pile us on Any sin we've ever done you can't take that back I said I'm coming from the Lands where they aim at hats Come to think of it that's kind of what I say on tracks, damn Yo, I think I'm bout to blow up, better strap me down I'mma have the city locked like I'm Bad News Brown This a new generation, this a brand new Town So you can keep recycling flows with your hand me downs Bodies buried deep and they can't be found I'll say hello to your cousin while I ride the cyclone And eat a Nathan's hot dog, and laugh, and fight foes I came here for the lyrics, you came here for the light show At least I got some nice clothes I'm back to save rap like your money is with Geico You got a couple fat rhymes, but most of them are lypo I said your girl was in the ring she got the GORE like Rhyno They started calling me the God, cause everything is Heaven Sent That's why I'm on a track with Gemini the Genesis, aye Every time I cut these verses It's hard not to envision my mother cringing at the use of all my curses She'd sit there and tell me, think about the kids If you're tryna make it big and plan on booking gigs You'll have to send a message that no other rapper gives That's true I suppose, you know how the saying goes That your mother always knows And if she was here now, she'd be in that front row making faces at my shows Such a big heart with an incredible soul Had an even Bigger Mouth, she was rather comical And the love she had for me was astronomical Let me take a deep breath for the woman who made me I apologize for being crazy Cause I've been thinkin bout it lately With all this going on, cops guns going off Lost ones showing off, kids killed in the streets tryna prove their not soft And I ask myself, is it worth the blood loss There's a crisis in these streets but all they talk about is ISIS in the East But they never speak on how they licensing the heat So I'm tightening these sneaks cause it's frightening to see The POTUS chillin tax-free and fighting through his tweets But listen, I'm not here to spark beef I just came to spread light on this thing we call life While your favorite rapper mumbles bout what that head like And how their bread's right So do yourself a favor and pass on this flavor over to your neighbor The Message has been written, the need's never been greater
