Life Verse 1

Afterthought
See what i was taught
This some food for thought
Austin And chloe we been Working A lot
Believe we won't stop
Not for the cash
Just for the craft
Not for the glory
To tell our stories
Minority
Not a priority
Pay homage to those before me
Enter 36 chambers
Now these rappers brainless
I think it's more racist than ratings
Hurled in the bad sayings no good makings
Mine for the....taking
I spit strong words spoken swiftly
It's tricky It's Tricky
Oh Lord, Pastor the reverend
Used to wanna be the king like Rev Run
TO be
For me
Black is quite scary
Since my ABC"s
123's
I was taught to hate people just like me
SO allow me to rant
Micheal Brown Oscar Grant
To serve and protect you tell me who the killer
You tell me why the make the faces so unfamiliar
And I try to bring the light like Common and Dilla
They cheeckin my complexion
It's Hexing and perplexing
Stop us from developing
It's embarrassing
Diminishing
Demolishing
Perfectly Polishing
Its the system no abolishing
Make it out of hell
We must speak up for our selves
Let us vent
Represent
Reinvent
Black Power
Empower
Even when we encounter
Discrimination
Hurt on the news that effects the whole nation
Elimination
Dehumanization
Disrupt the currpt
Change was abrupt
The forced down
Hands on the ground
I threw up
Then grew up
But I'm just a black man
Internalized, reduced to something worth attacking
Searching through questions
Shifting for Answer
Boy to a man I Turned a new chapter
