They ripping off your chain, they tripping, they cripping and they banging They throwing up flames dipping and flipping the slang They claiming blocks that don’t own a dime for They taking shots to [?] so we writing for ‘em To make ‘em stop for a second ’cause everyone hurts If I can give ‘em a record I give ‘em one verse I try to inspire, they surviving, they’re not living You can’t make a prediction, the future is not written All doe I’m not a fizician, I try to stop and listen It’s like we got a condition Word!
