Lyrics:
You were there one month of the year,
But the calendar is 12 months long.
Mother did her very best,
But she did it by herself 'cause you were
as time went on
About the trips I might be sent on
And by trips I don't mean a vacation
The first law of nature is self-preservation
So my motto is
Haven't fulfilled my father's dream
And now he doesn't love me anymore
I think I need a primal scream
But I live next door to my mother-in-law
on the Grid
Your mind so small….corrupted by LIES and
YOU, like the others LIE way, way too much,
So no thank you, fuck off, my cuz,
Can’t find out us
it's time for us to fight?
Mother Nature takin back the rule of law
It's predator v prey, the currency is agua
We'd be dead already if this was ragnarok
one for your actions
Catch me in these streets
But, nigga, I ain’t gotta trap shit
Thank God I got captured by the beat
What mother wanna see they
This used to be paradise
At the birth of time
Giving way to free enterprise
Now we're ruled by crime
Frayed, overrun
In the name of prosperity
We
finding it's way
They claim by god that is justified
Obey their laws or just die!
Anger... will wipe away the bitter tears
Hunger... for death is kind than
She was stood there 25 looking like the perfect bride,
Ready to give up on forever
And he was half cut by the door looking like a son in law in
you – it’s your hope
They cover it up with the PR glow
While Government pretends that they don’t know
There’s a mother in the snow
Unbelievable. My God.
chain on freeze, sub-zero (yeah)
Mother-in-law, I said, "Hello, I'm the one for this queen, I'm the hero"
I'm big league, walk in Gucci, bet they
know is the great depression
Reading Phillis Wheatley I'm tryna avoid the greedy
Mother Teresa in sneakers, tryna serve the needy
Cool in school, FAMU
pushin bubble stealin
P-p-p-pow show me murder ima show thee the cause
That PCP be havin me I'm breakin laws in my drawers
P-p-p-pow boogie woogie bang
hard
Do a song, get on and get to thinking they God
Well, like Temple T, I would rather die in my sleep
So no one can ever say I never died in my
I'd sell my mother and I'd steal from the blind
Just to have every last nickel and dime
Break-ins and muggings, I'll try to defraud
I'll run up
but that was soon to change.
They took us by surprise. With sleep in our eyes, hell broke loose.
There were shots going off like it was the fourth
got love for a
That's a nasty
She got love for a
That's a nasty
Aint shit change but the address
Still that same nigga keep that glock by my mattress
down the law, no more war, naive, naive, we all know the score
And what's in store, "Fight the power," what does it mean?
Parental advisory stickers
put my hand on it
If you tryna match
Put more than a gram on it
Aye, tell these niggas the truth, they cry
Niggas diss me, that shit don't fly by
Niggas
women’s laws passed by some weak ass men
I mean sheesh, what do that shit solve
I’m trying to figure it just like a jigsaw
And I’m still mad that they
convinced Sufism was expressed by hat choice
I don't dictate my didact and map it to black noise
Said the target audience whose mothers are blonde-headed
Sun-in on our hair by evening it would look like hell
Orange, brittle - hey who cared as long as it still feathered well
I'd be lost without my email still
and a record is broken by the arm of the law
and you and I as we skate, pitch or ride
we seek our adventures in the places we hide
the pendulum dances, opinion
And a record is broken by the arm of the law
And you and I as we skate, pitch or ride
We seek our adventures in the places we hide
The pendulum dances,
