Evolve from high bred intellectuals who slept on park bench Topple you off pedestal, thrive at any level Find it hard to settle Traverse habitat that tests a man's meddle Fist grip the neck of devils, barely time to revel They fencing off the ghettos Most heads I know never even seen a meadow Son of concrete, given birth and death on same street We got no time to weep And what the steel don't dead, rots away with disease Gettin' carried by six is our only release Time has come to pull sword from sheath Raise the meek I love these beats See shifty eyes like they never held heat Walk 50 miles and we never retreat Reread every scroll 'cause I barely do sleep Hope to reach my apex like Kerouac at his peak Best you don't speak, just listen Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics that I'm grippin' 20-20 through eyes with ambition Here to redefine the street diction Best you don't speak, just listen Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics that I'm grippin' 20-20 through eyes with ambition Here to redefine the street diction Vent frustration over underground airwaves Displayed traits that convey my conviction Fall between the cracks of this system Systematically act erratic to emphasize position Post-apocalyptic landscape creates vivid image Struggle ain't made for the timid In these Bricks one mistake leave you rigid Ain't here for the gimmicks Hip hop is how you live it Check the verbal rhythm Reduced to head nods when you feel 'em The fortunate connect, the rest get the serum Poisonous ideas infect like snakes venom Vernacular adapts to express what's in them Masses organized once again pose threat "Chickens home to roost", is what a wise man said Since he spit truth they made sure he bled It's been much too long that we been misled Best you don't speak, just listen Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics that I'm grippin' 20-20 through eyes with ambition Here to redefine the street diction Best you don't speak, just listen Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics that I'm grippin' 20-20 through eyes with ambition Here to redefine the street diction Best you don't speak, just listen Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics that I'm grippin' 20-20 through eyes with ambition Here to redefine the street diction Best you don't speak, just listen Bound to choke the life out your chest like these mics that I'm grippin' 20-20 through eyes with ambition Here to redefine the street diction Mad respect to all the deadverse massive Labtek, Komplx, Dev-one,Oddateee Mo' Rican, B4L, General Marz-Z, Mahewal Diggs, Free, Skalla, Big Moe, D.Lemma Rabs Ricanatti, Hip, My brother Big G, Subtitle DJ Rek, DJ Motiv The Bug holding down London Spoek, Houseshoes Muddsligaz, all my niggas
