Verse 1 (R-Mean)

Genocidal survivor, son of a refuge
Revolutionary, my freedom come with a hefty fee
Trapped inside the mind too, tried to talk to God 
Told 'em kill all my demons, but my angels might die too 
Grindin' since I'm age ten 
Single mother households tryin' their best to raise men
Know this pain a vessel to gain strength 
Dog in my heart, our father's for real the farmer
'Cause what you plant is what you harvest in the field of karma 
Troubled economy, struggle and poverty 
Embedded in my genetics, so the hustle inside of me 
I just know, mama was cryin', see pops died young
Immortalized forever, I just go and cock my gun
As I unload and squeeze
I grab the devil by his horns, cut his throat, it bleeds
Stab 'em with the shattered pieces of my broken dreams
Had to water the root of all evil, it's growin' seeds 
MC's know, Mean go deep, his soul will bleed 
Speak for the wounded to move on 
They say anger is grief that's been silent for too long
Became the voice of the voiceless, the voice of my people 
And now my time has come, 
R Dash Mean The Risin' Sun
