lyrics

All my life been looked at like a bastard
i never gave it much thought, it don't matter
cuz i was told good guys die faster
and hardened crimnals would die soon after
if i applied myself then i could master
the art that lies inside, that of a true rapper
hard to cope when my soul and heart clashes
like trying to smoke resin out a bowl with wet matches
i'm sleeping on the same old mattress
still use tapes, all my cd's got scratches
we make new songs but each one's a classic
measures that we take are extremeley drastic
the messages created turn feens to sctivist
take a step back,breathe adapt to this
before i spit my next track i practice it
that's fair warning for the one's that spit after chris
CHORUS
I'm underrated in this rap game
cuz of my name they think the only topic is mary jane
but i speak about the trife life and various things
whether serious or hilarious i spit it the same
any click that want to get at us i feel they insane
since the day i was born i went against the grain
politicians want to bury us with shackles and chains
if we follow their traditions how the fuck we gone change
they corrupting the youth with substance abuse
the public disputes, the governments gunmen shoot
inner-city children left with nothing to do
they took away their playgrounds and gave them kazoos
now they stuck in the crib, eyes glued to the tube
watching the lies that they viewed on the news
too many soldiers died now they need more recruits
who you think they're going to choose boy me or you
