lyrics

Verse 1
When you turn up on the radio you hear the samething
Every rapper thinks they’re different but they spit the same game
Same line, same flow, that’s just how the story goes
Feeling like a roller coaster or riding a rodeo
Every line is bout the diamonds or the commas or designers
How you stunting with the hoes cos your out at Benihanas
Can’t even tell the time cos your ish just shines to blindness
And your dimes always the finest cos your living like a highness
Man this game needs some change or this shit will stay the same
It’s time to enlighten the youth and quit that lying in the booth
Preach aspirations instead of false expectations
Like the corny looney toons flowing through the air stations
Like BURR, WOO, DAMN, OH GOD, ain’t that condemnation
Using HIS NAME in vain, man this shit is such a shmae
I bet you, if they listened, they’ll prolly just say I’m hating
Then quit the wacky rhymes, say what’s really on your mind
Hook

Verse 2
Ain’t nothing new, not even the news
My people, keep being shot like they’re being pursued
The powers abused, cos we’re dealing with the bastards
So I’m turning Nat Turner, getting my Masters
Hitting the books, before they throw the book at me
Cos class work and street work, get you different degrees
They say, go and get the cream, so I found me a method
It’s funny, you need Benjamins to keep the electric
So I’m holding it down, not playing around
Cos they shooting, HANDS UP, rest in peace Mike Brown
Another Black kid dead, another body at rest
But I guess, if it’s not a THOT, we don’t care if it leaves
RAP needs to step, baby pull the alarm
Do it have to be a kid for you to write’em a song
Can you enlighten the track, when you rhyming on wax
Are you that dude that move smooth and put a knife in our back
Huh?

Repeat Hook Til Fade
