going for self
life is all about confrontation/don't run from ya fears
don't let anyone/reduce you to tears/
don't let anyone take you for a fool/
don't let anyone weaker than you/run their jewels/
don't let anyone tell you that their hot/
don't let anyone tell you/you've lost the plot/
if you gotta stand alone/so be it/be yaself/
ya not measured by material gain/but by self weath/
i don't rely on others to back up my words/
spit 60 per second/so ya vision gets blurred/
no glory in this game/live life life for real/
mix with ill kids/whose spirits stronger than steel/
cocaine users/heron abusers/
try and tell 'em to live life/and their not just losers/
thats 'ow i live/every day & nite/
60 hrs per wk/a continual mental fight/
these kids will jack you/b4 you can open ya mouth/
make the lungs in chest/proceed to run down south/
i trained for this role/read many indepth books/
but ow i really learned/was to run with street crooks/
ow they make bank/multiply ill gains/
pass product to my cases/taking away all the pains/
the look on the faces when the product is in the stream/
the light in their eyes/relfects the product induced dream/
this is not west wing/soprhanos or LA law/
this sh.ts in the field/and life is raw/
so i pop ill flows to show exactly ow i'm living/
serve more turkeys than ya average thanksgiving/
i laugh at those trying to rock hard rhymes/
but don't know the meaning of having hard times/
explain to me/do you live in the street/
explain to me/what kicks on ya feet/
explain to me/do you scrap for ya food/
explain to me/how many methods you know are crude/
for real dun/ this ain't the source or BET/
this ain't the suburbs/it's the real inner city/
i don't own a PC/ i just about own TT's/
had to get it for myself/it wasn't handled to me/
ppl on the tread/saying that i should rock the real deal/ don't how harsh the cold concrete feels/
ya think this ain't real/come take a little tour/
where the cops & the kids wage inner gang war/
where ya jacked-up if ya face don't even fit/
and the only light in the room/is spoons being lit/
don't come on here and act like ya know/
cause battle rhymes for some are the only way to go/
i defend mine/like it was prison food
this happy days/no nusery interlude/
flow bout ya life/let me dig into ya cipher/
i got nothing to lose like i lifer.
out.
