Scum of the Earth

I'm a product of get money stay fly
And the choice of life and death
Resides on your waste line
I come from the dirt
So you know the teachings
If you not giving game
Tell me what the fuck you preaching
I got more from a convo then a school lecture
We all cut from a cloth
Just added different texture
Pressure
Reveals gems and jewels differently
You can learn a lot about a man from his history
Breathe
Is the gems that I offer youth
Just because there's paperwork
Doesn't always make it truth
I've seen more death then a mortician
Took me many years to understand I'm in the wrong business
Learning how to hustle isn't taught in schools
You would be surprised
By the lies
That they put in food
Can't no school teach you how to read a room
Or how to really move
When the words don't match the tune

It's me
The scum of the earth
Give back our culture
Lil vulture
Ima need all I'm worth
Yeah
Huh
It's me
The scum of the earth
Give back our culture
Lil vulture
Ima need all I'm worth
Yeah
I never thought I'd see the day they hang a strange fruit
Especially in a time where we talking bout the strange truth
I wonder what message should we leave the youth
Should you hit replay or finally play the ugly truth

Yeah
Now welcome to the exhibition
An exorcism of inhibitions
Fuck policies like politicians
We were told that we are all gifted
Yet my people only gettin a month
It starts with the chains givin
From a city where good apples become rotten
The hoods an epidemic
No vaccines for the forgotten
Huh
From cotton picking to silk coppin and drop topping
I know it's hard to process how we manifest to progress
Greed is in history
But so is misery
And I don't need the company to stimulate my family
I'm tryna break the cycle
From the ones that I disciple
For father fought a war for papers
Left his heir a throne of razors
Rubbing shoulders with the who's of who's
Racing round like hula hoops
Be a gentle soul
Play the violin
Still can get the noose
Manifest then execute the plan
Bring in the ooda loop
Still the boys in blue is playing rock paper nigga shoot

It's me
The scum of the earth
Give back our culture
Lil vulture
Ima need all I'm worth
Yeah
Huh
It's me
The scum of the earth
Give back our culture
Lil vulture
Ima need all I'm worth
Yeah
I never thought I'd see the day they hang a strange fruit
Especially in a time where we talking bout the strange truth
I wonder what message should we leave the youth
Should we hit replay or finally play the ugly truth
