Thru the struggle
Me and my people hustle
Trying to stay focused
Holding on to the ones
Who love you
I been going thru some ****
I can't expose to you
Probably the reasons why
I be having these ****** trust issues
Ya best friend twist a chick
Who says she really loves you
That blew me dawg
But I was raised to show
That nothing can hurt you
But deep inside the knife
Cuts into the heart tissue
In this life you play
Whatever hand is given too you
Never gave up
But went all in on many views
Faced to make decisions
Jeopardizing my every move
A wise man once said
You got two lives to choose
Be a slave or yourself
Or for some other dude
What's the basis of your religion
And your fortitude
Do reach out for God
Or look deep with inside you
A man can crumble and fumble
If he got nothing to loose
Even the toughest soldiers
Be wasting time running with fools
Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000 *****
When it's time to build
I don't **** around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000 *****
When it's time to build
I don't **** around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
Time wasted
****** getting drunk
Doing nothing
Feeling like the world ending
The way we puffing
Dreams shattered
Nothing matters
We still fussing
Guns busting hate in the air
Despair from to much fronting
No building
Just look at these children
Not a pot to piss in
They motivated from dying
Trying pop a collar
Make a dollar
Live like the rappers
They follow
Grinding for today
Stacking paper
For a better tomorrow
They know their time
Living on earth
Is getting short now
We got no choice we got to go in
And lay it down
Feeling like Langsten Hughes
My Harlem Blues
Blow the trumpets like Miles
Wit Nina Simone in view
Strange Fruit
Black bodies
Dangling from a noose
Nowadays Police will kill you
And your own people too
Its survival of the fittest
Your heart presents the realness
The message encoded
Is the art and lessons to built with
Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000 *****
When it's time to build
I don't **** around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000 *****
When it's time to build
I don't **** around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
This that flow
That Bust ya snot box
Real ****** from the block
Waiting for the God to drop
I been on top pushing tracks
Like some ***** rocks
Never deviated to much swagger
In my Diddy Bop
Oh so now you hot
Lil ***** stop
You temporary
I'm long range
Like a Curry shot
Sweet Jesus
That gal got some killah twat
River flow like Papi
I just can't stop
Capstone lace the phone
Wit another plot
Lion's roam on patrol
Up in the money spot
I'm eager to win
And hungry for that booth box
Cheers with beers
I like my scotch with 7 rocks
Dead or alive
What really is Hip Hop
Who the **** cares
As long as they getting gwap
Just cause you rap
Don't mean you got good stock
You can flop and plummet
Get your whole world ****** chopped
Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000 *****
When it's time to build
I don't **** around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
Time changes I don't move
I just sit still
Document my lifestyle
Cause it's that real
Knowledge on 1000 *****
When it's time to build
I don't **** around wit rap
I got the Iller Skills
