Iller Skills

Thru the struggle
Me and my people hustle

Trying to stay focused
Holding on to the ones
Who love you

I been going thru some
I can't expose to you

Probably the reasons why
I be having these trust issues

Ya best friend twist a chick
Who says she really loves you

That blew me dawg
But I was raised to show
That nothing can hurt you

But deep inside the knife
Cuts into the heart tissue

In this life you play
Whatever hand is given too you

Never gave up
But went all in on many views

Faced to make decisions
Jeopardizing my every move

A wise man once said
You got two lives to choose

Be a slave or yourself
Or for some other dude

What's the basis of your religion
And your fortitude

Do reach out for God
Or look deep with inside you

A man can crumble and fumble
If he got nothing to loose

Even the toughest soldiers
Be wasting time running with fools

Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000
When it's time to build
I don't around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills

Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000
When it's time to build
I don't around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills

Time wasted
getting drunk
Doing nothing

Feeling like the world ending
The way we puffing

Dreams shattered
Nothing matters
We still fussing

Guns busting hate in the air
Despair from to much fronting

No building
Just look at these children

Not a pot to piss in
They motivated from dying

Trying pop a collar
Make a dollar

Live like the rappers
They follow

Grinding for today
Stacking paper
For a better tomorrow

They know their time
Living on earth
Is getting short now

We got no choice we got to go in
And lay it down

Feeling like Langsten Hughes
My Harlem Blues

Blow the trumpets like Miles
Wit Nina Simone in view

Strange Fruit
Black bodies
Dangling from a noose

Nowadays Police will kill you
And your own people too

Its survival of the fittest
Your heart presents the realness

The message encoded
Is the art and lessons to built with

Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000
When it's time to build
I don't around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills

Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000
When it's time to build
I don't around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills

This that flow
That Bust ya snot box

Real from the block
Waiting for the God to drop

I been on top pushing tracks
Like some rocks

Never deviated to much swagger
In my Diddy Bop

Oh so now you hot
Lil stop

You temporary
I'm long range
Like a Curry shot

Sweet Jesus
That gal got some killah twat

River flow like Papi
I just can't stop

Capstone lace the phone
Wit another plot

Lion's roam on patrol
Up in the money spot

I'm eager to win
And hungry for that booth box

Cheers with beers
I like my scotch with 7 rocks

Dead or alive
What really is Hip Hop

Who the cares
As long as they getting gwap

Just cause you rap
Don't mean you got good stock

You can flop and plummet
Get your whole world chopped

Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000
When it's time to build
I don't around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills

Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000
When it's time to build
I don't around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
