Someone's lover, son of your mother, somebody brother
Sometimes they sneak up so quiet that the silence is deafenin
My heart is racin but I know just what I stand for
Just straight ahead cause the peripheral is buildings with mad stories
Somebody nigga, now your spirit in the air like a whisper
Everybody time comes to be embraced by the light
I'm puttin up a hellafied fight
Jerome Green, rock rock on and
Some get caught sleepin on the Mother City so when they go
Freaky Tah rock rock on and
Now the people that you love bear the pain that you once harbored
You only scared to die when you ain't livin right, man
Some underground heads is hatin cause we have fun at clubs
I'm probably on some government list for my rhymin
You mistaken if you somehow think it's just me you facin
Grover Washington, rock rock on and
The days go by quicker and the nights don't seem to differ
I'm puttin up a hellafied fight
(Wake up wake up wake up )
Niggas run past what they need chasing after what they want
When you a ghetto chef you mastered the art of cookin crack
Into the banks of our memories (let it be) we'll never forget you
Not floors but dramas is played out, shorties get laid out
Big L, rock rock on and
Slang Ton, rock rock on and
I'm a revolutionary antagonist
You was livin for yourself so you could never be a martyr
Not ridin the back of the bus
Like respect and fade out like TV sets
Good mourning, good afternoon, good night
Fuckin chumps, you walk down the street and get jumped
Lyin on your deathbed askin for God to bless you
Good mourning, good afternoon, good night
Medicine is big business so my remedies is herbal
Some playas is mad at us for just doin our music out of love
Your life is flashin, askin for forgiveness but you move too slow
Yo, yo, Mad Duke, rock rock on and
Listen, you hear the difference between science and science fiction
What's the meanin of ghettofabulous
They come back as tales of niggas we used to know
It's music is for the people so we Reflection Eternal
What have you done with your life?
Starin me down while your enemy is standin adjacent
On the corner watchin how kids comin to Brooklyn for they fronts
Hearin your name mentioned when we pourin out some liquor
Brooklyn cats like to bubble out of town no lookin back
You'll never know who the assassin is until it's your time to go
It's gettin cold, so I shivered and asked my soul to be delivered
In case you die in your sleep you ask the Lord for a blessin
My Aunt Hazel, rock rock on and
We blow it out like if you leave on every appliance in the kitchen
Curtis Mayfield, rock rock on and
Yo, the time come for everybody
Whether you local or express
Life is hard, death is harderyou somebody baby father
You only scared to die when you ain't livin right, man
Who said, "Just because no one can understand how you speak
At oncestill rolling kind bud in Cuban blunts
Never looked up to see the stars in all they heavenly glory
You a fool if you don't think they already tapped your line
We chasin death carelessly like Jessica, I Care Moore
Everybody time comes to be embraced by the light
With your attention span I understand that I ain't playin
It ain't somethin you can really prepare for
I need you all to be clear on exactly what I'm sayin
Don't necessarily mean that what you be sayin is deep"
What have you done with your life?
We come to a stop that everybody got to make
