Unbreakable (feat. Quis)

When it's cold as the city gets
Trynna make it home when the winter hits
I rose from the lineage we jumped from the boats
'Cause we know it gets hideous
And some living penny-less
Get a penny for thoughts I can lend you mine
A billion dollars ain't enough I need plenty time
Petty wives got a nigga looking Pennywise
And since we talking time I'm ahead of mine
How you plan on going up if you afraid to fly?
Can he rap like me can she rap like me?
Can they snap on beats? ain't a head in mind

I'm ahead of my time and ahead of myself
Killing every line every time man in stealth
With the rhymes know they felt all the cries I had dealt
Days in the rain paid in timing and wealth
Pain always rose better days never came
The fakers they change and the real stayed the same
Stayed in my lane in man my baggage to claim
Im a savage for cabbage I can't let em have it
I'm spazzin' if they throwing flack on my name
Might as well throw they pack in the grave

I battled the pain and hustled and haggled for change
I came up was mad and insane
I blast off like back of the plane
Im spitting what Reagan made back in the days
No back and fourth if you be capping for fame

I ain't claimin' a sign or a color to bang
They was in for the fame I was never for clout
All the fakes come about when the bitch nigga snakes come about
Can't stand the complacence around

But I move with intelligence
If the top is the spot then I won't stop 'til I'm getting in
Now the cops spinning blocks for my melanin
Taught me to see through the optics in different lens
Taught me that the opps can be dressed as friends
She thought we'd be better off just as friends
But that energy got shifted cuz of differences
And those differences just amplified our distances
Had me feeling like a motherfuckin' kid again
Had me down like Ritalin
But I'm still up to work when it's time to go and get a check
And I could barely stand
When I'm working on beats that's the only time I sit again
Sentences turn you to a second class citizen
So think about the problems that you get before you get in it
It's Clipse from The Den spit this message 'til I represent

I just want my mother to be proud of me, my brother to be proud of me
My uncle be surprised, and have my father not look down on me
Every single day got these hardships they surrounding me
I'm just trynna shoot for the stars shit they be doubting me (Why?)
And I'm still shouting free niggas that looked out for me
M.L.K. was cool but I'm starting to see what Malcolm see
It's like the fuckin' government been practicing some alchemy
The way they take my sisters and my brothers out so countlessly
1 shot 2 shot 3 then he down to sleep
5 shot 6 shot he bleeding flooding out the street
7 to brain then 8 kills the pain
1 more to the side now his heart ain't even pounding G
Since we talking numbers fuck 12 'til I'm half of that
Underneath the earth I rode the hearse to my aftermath
If we all cursed then my people cursed again after that
These bullets don't hurt enough I think I need a battle axe
Took my time away from me
They took my pride away from me
I was innocent but still it wasn't safe for me
(If you're going to a club, and you see the police there when you pull up,
And the lights flashing what are you gonna do?
Probably turn around and go home right?)
I got scars that will never go away from me
I wrote that song and now my pain is deeper than their hate for me
I don't wanna get tackled but if I take a knee
Then they gon' blow me out and they don't even got a cake for me
Pigs were sniffing out a problem when there wasn't one in sight
Lemme take a second and take you back to the other night
I was chiefin' in the V but that wasn't the problem
I was parked illegally and someone must've called em
Passenger was getting crazy talkin' bout i know my rights
I would've done the same but the difference is I wasn't white
Then they smelt the tree and tried to give ya boy a couple strikes
Checked me on some bullshit but I got to see another night
A couple months passed so this incident was recently
Lemme start by putting a middle finger to EPD
He asked what I was doing I told the truth acted decently
I tried to go home but they stopped insisted to speak with me
Asked me stupid questions so I gave em stupid answers back
I swear he told his partner give em trouble 'cause this mans is black
They didn't have a warrant I didn't commit a crime
So I'm asking can I go cuz y'all just wasting my time
Now they start getting hostile, cop 1 checks the whip
Cop 2 sits me down and he's talking it's irrelevant
And he knows they wrong I can see it in his face too
But facing one is hard enough so how am I gon' face two
Violated privacy started sending threats and shit
A couple days pass and I can't even get some rest and this
Just goes to show that sometimes ignorance is bliss
And sometimes Intelligence can be yo detriment

Ain't a thing that can break me
Ain't nobody gonna break me now
Nothings ever gonna break me
No ones ever gonna break me down
Ain't a thing that can break me
Ain't nobody gonna break me now
Nothings ever gonna break me
No ones ever gonna break me down
