on corners and porches just rappin' [01:59.55] [02:00.13]To havin' a fortune no more kissin' a** [02:02.72]But then these critics crucify you journalists try to burn [02:06.17]You fans turn on you attorneys all want a turn at you [02:08.81]To get they hands on every dime you have [02:11.61]They want you to lose your mind every time you mad [02:14.38]So they can try to make you out to

[02:41.05]And I'm a criminal how the f**k [02:42.64]Can I raise a little girl [02:44.07]I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to [02:46.31]You're full of sh*t too guerrera [02:48.25]That was a fist that hit

[03:30.71]You ignoramus but music is reflection of self [03:33.39]We just explain' it and then [03:34.84]We get our checks in the mail [03:36.43]It's f**ked up ain't it how [03:37.68]We can come from practically [03:38.92]Nothin' to bein' able to [03:40.16]Have any f**kin' thing that we wanted [03:42.19]That's why we sing for these kids [03:43.95]Who don't have a thing [03:45.18]Except for a dream and a f**kin' rap magazine [03:47.98]Who post pin' up pictures on they walls all day long [03:51.11]Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs [03:53.95]Or for anyone who's ever been through sh*t in they lives [03:57.03]'Til they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die [03:59.89]'Til they throw on a rap record [04:01.51]And they sit and they vibe [04:02.85]We're nothin' to you but [04:03.84]We're the f**kin' sh*t in they eyes [04:05.55]That's why we seize the moment [04:07.28]Try to freeze it and own it [04:08.81]Squeeze it and hold it [04:09.82]'Cause we consider these minutes golden [04:11.67]And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone [04:13.83]Just let our spiritslive on [04:15.26]Through our lyrics [04:15.96]That you hear in our songs and we can [04:18.07]Sing
