WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA Nelly!
Itz about to get HOT In Here!!!
Better grab some water
I'm a spokeman for da unspoken
Abused!
RestLess!
Depressed!
Deprived!
Homeless!
Aunts
Uncles
Sisters
Brothers
Mothers
Sons
Fathers
Daugthers
Even da cold cases swept under rugs from being slaughtered n torchered
I hear da yells n reveal what most won't, bring it to da forefront like a reporter
Eye understand da merits in da lines dat you border
But I'm OLDSKOOL!
So feel da TRAILZ EYE BLAZE LIKE Clyde Drexler n Terry Porter
Eye was attempted at being aborted before I rose up n came outta da dark stench
Before all dis nonsense
Before dis earth took away my innocence
But once eye got caught in da eye of da storm, Like Don Henley dat was thee end of my innocence
Even after offering my Best Defense
Eye was on my way to honoring da positives
My circle was filled wit good n bad within my conglomerate
Respect my freedom to speak as eye do yourz in a magnitude of most to elude DA TRUTH!
No D-12 but you see da lingerin' Proof
Dis goes for adults as well as da youth
What eye write on paper n SCREAM IN DA BOOTH!!!
Is meant to ENLIGHTEN!
Whether or not it touches a nerve or you like it!
Itz not about who shines da brightest
But he or she who takes what dey have in works wit those devices
Da other day my son put his arm around me while introducing me to his female friend, mother, n siblings n said,
"DIS DA MAN DAT RAISED ME"
FOR ME DAT SHIT WAS PRICELESS!!!
Eye don't make stuff up
Eye give you FACTS when I RIGHT DIS
N unlike some, eye don't walk around tryin' to act all righteous
Like Pac n Mary Blige
Eye put my life's reality in deez lyricz
When eye do it I don't hold back
I'M RELENTLESS!!!
N because of dat it may cause tension among my affiliates, strangers, haterz n enemies better known as henchmen
Niggaz might fear what dey don't understand when dey hear it
Or open up dey minds n relate to spirits kindred
Or get upset n wanna smear my name in a bar or a sentence
Just cause eye speak Dat REAL SHIT dat may be OFFENSIVE when you look in da mirror
COME CLOSE LIKE COMMON SO YOU CAN SEE ME CLEARER!!!
Deez are da things dat eye n those around me have been through
Eye could careless, but I'm not tryin' to offend you
Auntie said, "Kill em' wit kindness instead of a pistol"
I'm tryin' to get you to see da error in ya ways n uplift you
Whether you want to admit it or not, is up to you
But I put it out there to be comprehensible
Eye come from a family of morals n principles
Think before you talk n be sensible
Where grandpa held it down n grandma was da backbone of da throne
You can't see my vision if you can't BreakOut of your own prison
Listen!
Men n Women
Our forces are supposed to connect n bring joyful remnants
Dis generation n ours along wit others is on ahead on collision
Eye really hope you HEAR DA MESSAGE I'M SENDIN'!!!!!
ALL HANDS ARE DIRTY BUT CAN BE EXPUNGED THROUGH DA CREATOR WIT A GREAT CLEANSIN'
Even when we keep sinnin' n askin' for repentance
HE turns around n forgives da negatives we repeatedly aforementioned
I try to make my presence felt as we are only here for a short period in our existence
It takes time n it takes courage
A CONSTANT WAR WHEN YOU STEP OUTTA DAT DOOR
Not to mention da one RAGIN' inside ya bodily core
Some of us are never content, Always wanting MORE!!!
Just to survive n stay alive is a chore
Some of y'all bulbs is either not on or dim in da lighthouse
Itz funny how some think dey can see me when da lights out when dey own light out
Criticizin' like Alexander O'Neal n Eyein' what eye post like Richard Dreyfuss on a Stakeout
Without da violence
Eye transport knowledge n wisdom like Jason Statham n Ryan Reynolds
To get ya mentals in tune wit ya advisory parentals up in ya safe house
How you want it?
We can sit down n converse or get some chinese or fast food, go through da drive thru to take out
Da gloves is off buddy
Cats weight is light in HEAVYWEIGHT BOUTS!
EVERYBODY WANNA RULE DA WORLD LIKE TEARS FOR FEARS WHEN DEY SHOUT!
But what eye recite outta my mouth leaves no doubt of where I'm comin' from
Da same angle n slum Anthony Hamilton was comin' from
What eye say could get me killed or hung
But if you don't stand for somethin', You fall for anything son
Courtesy of Dr. King while he was walkin' through da flames of what was on da horizen to come
Papi
Senorita
MITA!!!!!!!
Eye spit dat Lauryn Hill YOU LOST ONE!
Keep being close-minded cause you lost dunn
Don't get caught in my crosshairs
I Carry dat cross like Nas like everyone wears
Think Y'all better grab some chairs
OPEN YA EARS!
Stop throwin' subliminal flares
Sit down n understand da plight of my scriptures
I'm not a ordinary fixture in da balance of things
I spread my wingz n call it like EYE see it
You can agree or disagree
It makes no nevermind to me
Our destinies are pre-written n MY VOICE is an extension of a HIGHER Dimension
Tools?
Wit dis spoken word, I'M DA PRO IN PROLIFIC!
GROW UP PEOPLEZ, STOP CATCHIN' FEELINS' N TRIPPIN'!!!
If you can't stomach what I say, BETTER KEEP YA DISTANCE
By da grace of GOD Shawn is special n gifted
I speak about unfortunate incidents dat deez corrupt bastards solicited
As well as da beautiful n terrible things eye have gone through, experienced, n Witness
Stop misconstruing what eye say n gettin' it twisted
Like eye said,
"You don't like it?!, Pay me no mind it cost you nothin"
Terrific!!!!!!!!!
I'M ARTISTIC
N Eye don't burn bridges eye might have to cross again cause dis isn't a competition
But just know eye go for da gold like Gabby Douglas da gymnast
FLIPPIN'
Ova n On barz like I was apart of thee Olympics
Eye don't follow normal guidlines, linguistics, n other fucked up laws within a district
I'M A LEADER NOW DAT WAS TAUGHT WELL AS A YOUNG APPRENTICE
Eye hope WE ALL MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO CHANGE n BREAKOUT of our Wordly Flesh in da trenches
Carrying on da torch for DA ONES BEFORE US, CONTINUING TO ELEVATE n MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
