Well now they be claiming friend but they ain’t happy for me/ Seems more like a competition where you act like you’re pleased/ Because everybody’s mission’s to position themselves/ And build up a large supply of my personal wealth/ And if you see success you know that people will talk/ And yes, we all are equal and my ego ain’t lost either/ But I’m neither stuck nor winning ‘cause of this skin tone/ I made a buck off penning intelligent poems/ And if you think it’s all a fluke, go on and do you/ I hope the people feel you’re fresh as much as you do/ But if it isn’t working out just how you planned it/ Maybe you’re the one who doesn’t understand it/
[Verse 2 – Mistah F.A.B.] I thank god that I’m blessed with the gift/ But all that really means is that I’m stressed with the curse/ The better it gets, this mess gets worse/ My head I lift for those dead in the dirt/ The dead I miss until my head it hurts/ My mother rock this before she head out to work/ I sit and reminisce of homies dead on my shirt/ I wish I could shift like the axis on the Earth/ And get away from this nonsense on the turf/ But life’s got a twist like a football Nerf/ In the middle of the mist close friends got murked/ With the fiddle of a wrist other friends got worked/ Some shit will make you sick so what is it all worth?/ Man a symbol of a fist is for why we all search/ Black power, white power, brown power, it will work/ But power don’t exist at the bottom since birth/ We gotta get chips, show the world what we’re worth/ You can talk with your lips but you must listen first/
[Verse 3 – Eligh] We gotta come up like CVE/ On MTV/ Not really my seed/ Some E-Y-Es gotta see G&E in the flesh/ The decree to impede to the surface/ To purchase a home is a dream that I need/ Hold me back never that/ No soul no man could ever sever/ We lack for making the weather better/ Sunshine make it on mine to the feather/ One time can’t arrest my development/ Into the sea just wanna be free do me/ Won’t hate on another man’s cape/ That’s not my fate/ I’ll get my taste just wait/ Patience is not my best suit/ Yet I’m not here to impress you/ Just brush ‘em off when they test you/ Bless you/
