[Hook]

Dope on the corner, far from where they were servin' ya

Service went global, so how did they corner ya?

Market all saturated, all go for broke

Now we living reality, no longer up from coke

Triple beam dreams it seems we all feed

Money from drugs, basketball, or music

We used to have ambition, how did we lose it?

[Verse]

You get no pardon, you are a part of the problem

I didn't need to sell dope, to all of my foes

To lay em out, we just fade em out

They talk nonsense, so my worship is to the sponsors

That can make me a monster, not a mobster

Them dudes caught up, locked up

Trapped back in chains, like slaves

That cradle the grave, niggas stuck in the streets

It's social defeat, our sets had no power

So we was stuck in the streets, in sets of GDs

Bloods, Crips, our reps were based on money, power, respect

So with that rep, we walk down the street with berets

Berettas, and bandannas

Of course the whites still ban us!

[Hook Repeat]

[Verse 2]

I see zombies smoking green, nothing keen in this life

Except the feens that use streets as their wife

Satisfy their every need, heroine of the night

Lady Luck on their side, no O.D. tonight

Piece of the American Pie, to get high and ride

The freaks come out at night with no rules to abide by

Where is Jesus in this crime-stricken limelight?

Put a spot on my clean record, I'm no longer as bright

For all the nonsense I've witnessed, repentance obsolete

My fate never complete, eternal pleas of "Please, why!?"

Give me a green light of acceleration

To my desired placement, I don't deserve this here

And neither do they, my brothers and sisters

Convey the message of an explicit tidal wave of senseless

I want to pick their brains, and grip their IQ

"Why you got to be apart of what everyone else apart of?"

I guess it's where the gov directed us to, mind control

Of Worldstar, fights of blacks, girls with no tact

"iLL World, how can we go back?!"

[Hook Repeat]

[Verse 3]

My dawgs know I'm down for mine

Phony homies ain't try me yet, bet they know my mystique

Lay all problems to rest in ease, rest in peace Derrick

You superman, wasn't part of the crime life, but shoot..

Feel like I died twice when I heard you passed

To all my hustlers & wannabe thugs, rep your squad

If you about that, just know and show love

Improve your craft, be a juggernaut

We all need blood, Fam is the most important quality

You killing your own, African diaspora we disown

Where is home?

We left to partake as slaves and serpents

Servants we are surrounding the throne

No one can be king

In Africa, they throwing the ring

Every year another casuality of royalty

My people never heard of me

Outcast to society by being me

Livid to the spirituality

You a son unique

And Jesus Christ!

Who says you can't be nice in a world of crime

Drugs, and people thinking being rude is fine

I got a problem with ya'll

I got a problem with you being common

Getting money with a poisonous diamond

Corrupting a mind that was so precious of mine

In time, I hope you reach ambition

You one of a kind
