Please excuse me young Nubian named C
This is how it be February 83 was a little baby
Quickly learned how this world living shady
Willie Lynching millennium modern day slavery
And I got lion heart bravery
How they gave me freedom of speech and they ain't made me
But that's how the game be they try to train me
But I'm the same OG you cannot tame me
Close my eyes meditate on the best
Witnessing their American dream is to take the peace from our rest
But in this death of North, South, East to West
Organically produced a seed of truth manifest
Cuz I don't believe we was made to compete
Pride deceit, defeat, kill each other, drink blood eat meat
See me I gotta walk with the gods
I put my faith in the odds
I ain't here to survive I rise and shine and I strive

I got people telling me I ain't gonna amount to nothing
No college education, a felon, he's gonna be slumping
Ain't all about money
So you can stop yo gum bumping
Don't need no awards to tell me I achieved something
You must've got caught up in the mix of the triple six
On the crucifix I'm watching it like a flick and man it's so sick
Halloween they scream we've all been tricked
They stole our writings
Sold stories for business
It seems like people wanna buy and sell
Like their hoping to get enough to pay their bail outta
It's jail they got you locked without the bars
Trying anyway you can to drive the fanciest cars
And be the stars of the league they created
Now they've gone too far
Idols all over again I stand far
If I could just say everything in one bar
You gotta get the eagle
Don't settle for the par

Now I've been known
To have my own mind
My eyes they design
Ain't never been blind
If you lost then I find
Climb up on my spine
I'm desiring dat iron so my blood be fine
I find a way to flow even still thru the grind
I grind past deadline and still beat the time
My time on this Earth in a book so defined
I'm drawing this art and it looks so foreign
You ain't never touched down on this turf I'm on
You'll never grip this bic wit this palm
Lifestyle that I'm on don't carry no guns
And they still don't want me to bear no arms
My voice speaks calm won't sound no alarm
Til they tune my frequency and sound the alarm
I am the one they speak of to warn
Cuz what they got going wouldn't be number 1
I'm done
