Alright now I feel alright
I feel like I need to write down a rhyme tonight
I feel like K. Dub, I feel like me
Feeling myself cuz I'm an ill emcee
I dropped Higher Learning just to let my people know
That I got a place to let my people go and let my people grow
Middle fingers to the ones that just gave my people blow
Took away my people's hope, Took away our folk
Took away our vote, put us all in chains
Only gave us pain, took away our names
Families rearranged, gave us more pain
All we know is pain, no shine all we know is rain
Hard to stay sane in a world so insane
Very picky with info that I put into my brain
I'm old enough now, I realize the real lies
Even if you innocent you still getting life
Creeps taking girls innocence, man it aint right
We living in a prison, the system is so wicked
I don't think I chose rap, I think my soul picked it
We was taught it's only right if it's light like J Pinkett
Light skinned or dark skinned, we still get convicted
They don't care about our vision, they just wanna see us blind
They just want us all to fight cuz they want us all behind
Got us living in rewind like Nas in his time
Or Jay in his day, I'm in my own state of mind
I rep my own state, take the love with the hate
I got nothing but love, you know Kev never hate
All these wannabe thugs, some real and some fake
I'm good on being good cuz good isn't great
Never settle for good
And I'm spitting for the ones you know thats stuck in the hood
And I wanna vote for the ones that lost that right
All because of one fight, damn
One night can really change ya life
