lyrics

[Verse]
Ayo I’m tryna fuck the world but it aint nothing but a pipe dream
They want that dope. I try my best to supply fiends
Got high dreams of prolly crusing in a white/cream
Bentley or a Lexus with Alexis. Eyes is lime green
I put time and effort in my music.
It’s free too. So it’ shouldn’t be a hassle just to listen to it
Right? See that’s the mentality I thought you had
But people make me feel as if all of my shit is trash
I appreciate the ones who steady fucking with me
I understand it’s more difficult to go indie
From shows, to pushing out singles on the internet
And a couple of cyphers. These fuckers aint found a nigga yet
Shit. And I know takes time
But I promise that it won’t discourage me from my grind
All these people vibe to my shit. Bumping my rhymes
And say that they can relate. I swear the feeling’s sublime
It’s not enough though.. And being local got me loco
Shit I could prolly go toe to toe with a pro. Yo
Don’t mention me with these shitty fucks in Cincinnati
Maybe I should switch to trap to make you niggas happy
It’s good music and you barely have to pay for shit
But what the fuck I gotta say to make you think I’m saying shit
The things I spit, you savor it. Until you get the flavor.
It’s good for the soul. This ain’t a game. But this that player shit
Kobe Bryant of my city. Hope up on a Laker dick
I stand by my product, hell no I won’t change for shit
These slave artists sign deals for a whip and a chain
If that’s the case then find a tree to be hanged… Hung
I love blacks. But you fucks are steady on my nerves
So I try to uplift your spirits while I’m rhyming these words
Ha. If I’m the only one that tries to save em
Our people gonna be the death of our own population
The fuck happened to standing up for your rights?
Never fall without a fight, standing tall throughout the night, huh?
You can’t expect everything to be handed to you
Just work hard if they don’t hand it, you demand it to you
I’m the spirit of Huey and Malcom just watching
Time take its toll. Hoping for a better outcome
Soon we won’t have anymore history
Keep at it, shit, it’ll be the end of we
The Lord’s happy with me cause I’ve learned to repent
Baptized my soul in the devils poison, bet that washed away my sins
God, family, and culture is what I represent
I breeze through these airy strings, that’s why I’m calling this the vent.
Shit.

[Outro]
If you can’t respect that your whole perspective is wack
Maybe you’ll love me when i…..
Na. fuck that.
