lyrics

We can sip poison and lounge with your enemy-friends
Where we can act like rappers and pretend to be men
Now I’m feelin’ like Pac, writing Hennessey raps
Then my memory’s blacked and my venom is trapped
Now I spit a antidote with my pen and a pad
But still the old homies pretend that we back
But na, I’m on track in my ten-and-a-half’s
Got a vision of my path and my memory’s back
Quincy? Na you’re Jack
Guess there’s no way around that
People think I’m tryin’ to be black
Guess they don’ know that this **** is just a part of me
So pardon me when I’m tryin’ to speak the heart in me
Through hip-hop, and damn it’s been a while
So imma spit this verse then imma have to smile
From the earth rise like I’m similar to fire
You can watch but you can’t touch my style

I don’t get high no more
I ain’t just gettin’ by no more
As days pass by
I ain’t livin’ in a lie no more
I ain’t lookin’ to the sky no more…
To ask why
(x2)

This a message to the universe from a man in the flesh
Though I don’t understand the meaning yet the answer is yes
Yes, we ready for the change
Yes, we breakin’ out the chains in these shadows of life
I’m killin’ lies when I battle with mics
Destruction, creation, when death is a matter of life
It’s dedicated to my people down to fight
My people down to dream and my people down to build
To my people on the scene…
Who bring reality, to the ceremony
Earn the title emcee
I thank the teachers for the reason I can see
And I thank the trees for the reason I can breathe
I thank the earth and the mothers of our seeds
To my woman who heals me underneath the sheets
And anybody who feels me when I speak my peace
Cuz freedom and truth is what we seek
That’s why…

(Chorus)
