[Intro]

[?]

Just get past your past, man

I wish I could, I wish it were that easy, you know what I mean?

[Verse]

Everybody's a threat where there’s no promise

Doc said it, being hot-headed made us coal miners

Ain't taught peace in these northeast cold climates

Never be of the pedigree to need the cosigners

No yellow-bellies over here, [?] jaundice

When only been lied to, it's hard to know honest

Evasive so racist’s finest won't find us

Had to change our nature to make it to old-timers

Lack of possessions made me possessive

As far as talking about the worst, I may be the best

Gave blood already, now what I'm saying is flesh

To acquire loot to fly the coop, I had to finesse

This life had enough strife, I'd rather the stress

The key to Ka is eat or die, not a matter of jest

Ain't lying, every time pass one they added a test

Bold cousin did nothing humble to get an abode

Had all the weapons like he entered the code

Holding on to a [?] before [?] was in vogue

One of my boy's last words: "I meant to reload"

Men that might start with tender heart, toughened up

I tell the truth, whole truth, nothing but

Like hand on the Good Book, other palm was raised

Family going through withdrawals, they was hard to save

Living feeble, we the people God would trade

No cash or credit for help, would start to crave

Same knaves that robbed the cradle would rob the grave

No stolen victory, like Hannibal at the border of Rome

I adore anonymity, I thought it was known

Streets couldn't compete with what I fought with at home

Speak to you man to man when I'm more of a zone

[Chorus]

Your favorite sounds dropping jewels

Made the rounds not the rules

Made it ’round obstacles

Some things I’ll never get over

Your favorite sounds dropping jewels

Made the rounds not the rules

Made it 'round obstacles

Some things I’ll never get over
