E. State Essay

I know they want to take me out my glow
Cause I been keeping it a buck and I turn up in quarter fo
And this here a tour de force one day we gone tour the globe
And no matter what we been through continue enduring mo
We was in the concrete jungle dodging the pigs and snakes
You was piggy backing off privilege from daddy's piggy bank
Boy I'm really deep in the field dodging them prison gates
I won't compromise with racists and won't capitulate
Witness as we demonstrate
They know we the living proof we
Play the same game but not at the same difficulty
And you can't pay me off till let you slide principally
The last of a dying breed dawg its different with me
It's a thin line and I keep going back and forth
Dealing with the traumas of surviving as a black adult
In a city where them hollow tip bullets catapult
Saying that you Mike on mics it must be Rapaport
We done heard you rap before
All you do is capping boy
Putting on an act dont you know that that's an act of war
Say you in the stu with the mack you just mean Macklemore
Cause an encore the only thing you niggas clapping for
And the way we been getting busy they changed the statutes for
But the shit we did for the city we need some statues for
Put this on and get yo information from a valid source
When that Truth playing on the aux turn up the volume more
We was young and ignorant to things that life had in store
Fear of failure never slowed us down it made us battle more
Every single verse is raw my love and my passion pure
It surpass any desire for fame or cash allure
I give the people my heart and they give me back support
When they see my struggles they anticipate my rap report
For us the hustle is the first and not the last resort
You'll never see my status dwarfed
Never took a path that's short

Slide, slide, slide with me
Through the east, west, north, south side with me
Dreams to live fast turn to fears to die quickly
Smoking fire sticky
Ducking when they fire glizzys
Ride, ride, ride with me
The east cracking, west popping, south side litty
On the north spinning blocks whole side dizzy
From the bottom of the rock come climb with me

These racist and these cops been out here plotting and conspiring
Hate to get online to see me prosper and inspiring
In the darkest times I gift Rockford with enlightenment
Built a united strength
That's gone conquer the divisiveness
My life is a movie Ryan Coogler couldn't write the script
But he can direct pay my children for my likenesses
Black Rabbit gone license it
They'll see who the nicest is
And what they was yesterday know today ain't what the prices is
Cops do it broad day when it's time to lynch
Then let you lay up in the streets until ya vitals dip
A product of the new millennium and nineties mixed
But if we talk this rapping shit then I'm MJ in ninety six
Things that I write and spit
Give hope to the nihilist
My mixtape a righteous gift
Treat each one like my final disc
So be attentive as I prophecy on em
My ideology intellectual property on em
Give philosophies that come from geography on em
When dead homies in yo pictures them photography omens
Life hard but not as hard as I'm constantly going
Seen things that you niggas ain't possibly knowing
Never stagnant if I'm living then I got to be growing
Gave my all to the people I been honest and open
Breaking generational curses fixes promises broken
And the elders speak about us like we got to be chosen
So come and

Slide, slide, slide with me
Through the east, west, north, south side with me
Dreams to live fast turn to fears to die quickly
Smoking fire sticky
Ducking when they fire glizzys
Ride, ride, ride with me
The east cracking, west popping, south side litty
On the north spinning blocks whole side dizzy
From the bottom of the rock come climb with me
