Cold windy city on our Grizzly All We Got Is Us A lot of rappers living proof talents just not enough Played the hand he was dealt no wasting time shuffling See them acting like life got a rewind button Don't say it under your breath homie talk up approach a dude walk up Clean but he had washed up Nah the kid bossed up got a lot more to say ain't holding on to Glory Days This is life lame stay in your lane slow traffic keep to the right How steep the road he's taken not to mention toll it's taking On some discipline over motivation Chasing that first high for the rest of my life Gave rap a lot of good years some of the best of my life

I think we lost the essence switch Rhyming These dudes don't follow the codes or stick by them Loyalty that don't exist they switch siding Go to jail and tell these dudes are 6ix 9ining I hopped on the scene I'm the hottest from Queens Your favourite rapper now a' days Well he's probably a Fiend off Molly and lean Sawed that he got from his team At a war right now but can't stop the regime I remember when we used to rhyme or rap as far as Pride Well I still know mine's attached And these so-called Legends co-sign that Fuckin' this era we just need to bring the 90s back We've come too far too far to say that we are lost We've come too far too far to say that we are lost We let them water down the purist Strong currents we're drowning in the mainstream Chasing cake cream subscribers sales streams Game politics over skills We keeping score by commas slave to dollar bills Blacks stop killing blacks y'all ain't hearing that The price of life mark down we on the clearance rack There's a void to be filled time we destroy and rebuild The cultures under construction trying to restore the feel She was my object of affection never be another Feeling nostalgic, Com Sence I Used To Love Her Type of record won't get too much burn From the era of fight the power and you must learn We've come too far too far to say that we are lost We've come too far too far to say that we are lost

I take my time cuz I'm waiting for these changes I know it's hard and I know it won't be painless Days done past where I'm praying for my family These days won't last see this hate will stay behind me God is real as the air we breathe Look at us our ancestors wildest dreams Stolen from overseas not considered human being There was a time was a crime for us to write and read How much about us that's preconceived Distorted facts about blacks we're well aware of it Control your narrative imperative no matter where it is Witness the revolution oppresses no longer scared of them We're all dying Africans before North American On my Malcolm X by any means necessary Celebrate us all year round not just February Times we live in ask why were livid Deliberate hate crimes on camera Killers getting acquitted Are Extinction predicted through drugs violence addiction Be part of the change instead of waiting for it Everyday I'm praying for it Lord knows my faith enormous. I take my time cuz I'm waiting for these changes I know it's hard and I know it won't be painless Days done past where I'm praying for my family These days won't last see this hate will stay behind me Tears running down my cheek I guess I'm overjoyed Reach beyond my Peak you'll see I'm partially poised Girls and boys Dames and gents change your plans Kill The Noise go for yours enjoy the dance We're human beings with human needs eradicate That hate that keeps on spreading like disease An appetite for Speed my patients done peeked A Taste of the poison as it leaks I'm trying Beauty in the struggle I see beauty in the tension My people complicated yo I'm complicated Mama said yo you best be thankful for the blessings Be thankful for the food be thankful for the lessons I said well Momma what about my grind and my sweat She said check it before the day ends be thankful for the strength Learn to survive with remarkable time Revolution goes hard this remarkable life it's complicated

No luxury growing up at your own pace From a place trauma giving young boys a stone face Taking Care of Mom she couldn't do it herself Tears In Her Eyes damn seeing you and herself Cold bitter night's nothing new Ain't talkin LP Killer Mike when the saying run the jewelz Pops never saw him leaving by example no ones leading Man of the house yet no one showed you how to be one Counted us out he's bound the throw away his freedom Anger drowning us out a voice of reason Lord we need one To provide survive look what they made him do meth Got us looking like Thriller back in 82 Blast off cast off Stars away away away Away away Send that boy off away away Send that boy off away away Send that boy off away Cycle never-ending bad beginnings ain't no happy endings You and your bredrin made it home not getting apprehended Risk-taking Paper Chasing fiends losing patience Chose instant gratification over graduation All he makes his moves no announcements addiction once around it Getting fast money it's hard to downshift Metal settles things on corners if you cross borders Ops get a set of wings instead of roses In this Concrete Jungle the models him or me when no window of opportunity it's B & E's On this rollercoaster ride we know don't last long Life in the streets a quick High then you crash hard Blast off cast off Stars away away away Away away Send that boy off away away Send that boy off away away Send that boy off away

I wanna be on the right side of History I wanna I wanna be I wanna be on the same side as victor I wanna I wanna be I wanna to be on the right side of History I wanna I wanna be I wanna be on the same side as victory No misery there's trickery Cause injury and misery bad memories So literally No Liberty just Poverty we on the wrong side of History I wanna be on the right side of History I wanna I wanna be I wanna be on the same side of victory I wanna I wanna be I wanna to be on the right side of History Iwanna I wanna be I wanna be on the same side of victory I wanna I wanna be I wanna be I had no idea what they would take from me Poor threw us money take part in a case study Told for Bad Blood being treated Lies wonder why all this bad blood between us Ain't trying to see history repeat itself Living in misery lack of treatment would lead to death Eyes pouring tears years enduring hatred Want back my 40 years still waiting on 40 acres Made the papers front page First Nations Malnourished indigenous took advantage of Innocence Distant memories that got buried Digging up the past all we got was dirty Documents destroyed and the truth with it God bless the survivors still the proof Livin Next steps we overdue to take Start living as One race that's the human race Put needle in skin Let vaccine seep in No withholding food or medicine No poisoning by North Americans Biased malpractice still exists We no longer their experiments Sarah Baartmen Henrietta Lacks We can trust a vaccine Designed woman who's Black But what about our first nation's Ghosts of racist's past Turning their ugly head When we ask About aboriginal children Government made lab rats Can't go from to sea to sea To the great white north Study unethical, tuskegee Ward of state, custody North star ain't set us free Can't stand in solidarity Racism is a virus with no cure A vaccine will help us endure Racism is a virus with no cure A vaccine will help us endure

Don't matter if she is hurting even when it feels uncertain You picking up the phone always been the bigger person Some days keeping you going only God above My gratitude for holding on when I was hard to love Now it's only Good Vibes let the laughter Hold Us Like photos before they're gone trying to Capture Moments Put behind us all the hard Luck plus we got plans too big to sweat the small stuff Some things just understood not things got to be said Sometimes just need your bed tired from chasing bread It's a lonely world when we're apart I ain't thinking about the words speaking from the heart We're all searching for purpose one day I hope you'll find it Maybe just beyond our reach maybe it's inside us Just keep me grounded love no I got lots to do Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to Yeah boy seen sides of you that no one else does Sometimes you disappear and unplug working on self-love Young lady it felt like herself lately me either Still she brings your best out stressed out needing a breather Never back and forth about a post She knows who they see the least is who matters most We're looking at the same picture just from different angles When we're on the same page ain't nothing we can't do We're all searching for purpose one day I hope you'll find it Maybe just beyond our reach maybe it's inside us Just keep me grounded love no I got lots to do Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to
