Shelter
Next to the rock house
Was my house
Bad influence I can't do it so I block out
Grab a pen play some records and I rock out
New kids on the block hanging tough with their Glocks out
Me
I'm trying my best
Just to get the flock out
Fly down south
Take some time just to shake the shock out
Investing in myself
Yeah I'm cashing my stock out
Too much hating on my timeline
I'm tick tocked out
What does it take for me to explain that we're all the same
But I might end up in a cell if I loudly complain
Nothing happens when the Captain does a line of blow
But when you're trapping and you're black and got an ounce of hydro
They'll toss the key for some trees and a case of beer
D-W-I D-W-B
I see what's happening here
Can't be equal cause the pigment weighs a little more
Now you can see if me and Steve was in the Box store
He can take it
And walk right out of the front door
I can pay and get stopped
What you looking for?
You say you need to see receipts before I leave the store
You can see I'm fly and you hate it
Please say no more
I'd get more love if I was looking for a handout
But I'm self-sustained in my lane
Still you complain about
My five cars sitting in the driveway
But if you knew me you would know it's on the one
The Hardaway
Early riser working double for the same pay
It's not fair
But I just keep my hustle anyway
It was hard
Broke my body but I found a way
Chronic pains in my back like it's Dre day
Never lost hope
Never clocked out
I bet on black
Now cash me as I'm walking out
It may seem I got a thing against races
Reverse themes to demean
That would make me racist
All I want is to be seen by the other races
All I want is to get green like the other races
Do what we do, we can all get these blue faces
And only you can understand what you faces
Was my house
Bad influence I can't do it so I block out
Grab a pen play some records and I rock out
New kids on the block hanging tough with their Glocks out
Me
I'm trying my best
Just to get the flock out
Fly down south
Take some time just to shake the shock out
Investing in myself
Yeah I'm cashing my stock out
Too much hating on my timeline
I'm tick tocked out
What does it take for me to explain that we're all the same
But I might end up in a cell if I loudly complain
Nothing happens when the Captain does a line of blow
But when you're trapping and you're black and got an ounce of hydro
