Nobody cares what you meant to say
What matters is what you say
I say hip-hop prevails all day
With the power to make the world lean my way
Allow me some access in your mind
Let me peel away layers one at a time
From the foundations of real hip hop
Even If you saw it coming, this can't be stopped
Tempter with a short fuse check them sparks
Never going let that tear this apart
At war, but we don't really process pain
Till the yellow cab comes who's to blame
Needed this to shake us, still got problems
Hating, leaves no time for solving them
But there's time to aim at your neighbor
Standby, as I return the favor
Bed is made but it's so hard to sleep in
What been done is what keeps mothers weeping
Look further than the length of an arm
Too many young men ringing alarms
Going around in circles, doing the dance
Whipped by the movement, taking the chance
That lead stays away, feds go away
If luck is in, that time goes away
Fish in a bowl, with nowhere to go
Hence a burn, to have some control
Of the weak minded, those who won't speak
City blocks, yeah land they can't keep
Shines love, but its' strictly madness
Meanwhile, mothers feel nothing but sadness
Up the blindfold, check the pain
Once a heart is broken it's never the same
Listen…….what's that in the distance
Hard times and poor man's persistence
Been there, I will not return
Burning now, which means I'm here to burn
Hip Hop knows, many rhymes have been spoken
As a result many mind have been broken
Bones I pick with those who don't reach
The left brain with more sensible speech
And young minds, in time to make gains
That's real, but reality is that strange
Here's the question, what's it worth
When you run through the back block claiming turf
It's not yours till it's paid for, that the fact
When you claim it and it isn't yours, that's the trap
Your best friend just jumped the fence,
Stand by, let me clear the evidence.
