*explicit lyrics*
Yo I got words for dollars, inspiration for wages
Y’all sit back let me get real creative
Got books on my shelf I haven’t picked up in ages
I just recollect the words when I picture the pages…
It’s cause I’ve got a…
Four-wheel-drive mind
You won’t find a duplicate
Drive over land mines
Through fields and duke with it
Flow so sick I puke
When I’m through with it
Don’t ask me why I
Don’t know where the music is
We thought…
That shit made it to tha burbs through the word on the street
Black and gold wu-jackets, thought we were killerz and queens
Fuck bitches get money, ‘lil Cease and my dream
Wu killa-bees, fuck honeys, get c.r.e.a.m
Cash rules everything, queens,
Get the money, long time no cash
Caught up in the hustle, when the guns go blast
West coast retaliated like they had to act fast after
Shakur shot dead after he left tha MGM grand
I ain’t pickin sides or saying who’s right
How is there anything right about taking a life anyway?
Ain’t nothing wrong with a little tussle and fight
But you can’t flex your muscle through a barrel of spite
With my mind’s eye -
I see as far as Icarus
And I say “please don’t fly
So close to tha nucleus”
Please, listen to I
Before your time is up
Tha father should die
Before his child does
So There I was…
Trail blazing like Marley through the green jungle
When my Jamaican vacation became cocaine smuggle
Five g’s each to get two keys back to Laguardia
Five to ten years for your average transporter but I’ve got nothing to lose and
No fear of the borders so I brought that shit back and kept me a quarter
With a little love and baking soda turned it into a zip
Cried tears of joy when I cut that onion again
A hard rain worthy of all my hard work and devotion
A hustle so smooth, it’s hard to catch the flow of the notions
But it’s official bro, US patent my poems as lotion
Yo I got work if you holler, creation for pages
I’ll be getting right back to my real inspiration
Got a look on my face now that gives away traces
Of the confidence and swagger I exude on big stages
- MIC THA POET
