Verse

I see myself as the holy resurrection of Pun
If I ain't that then you name one 
Rapper that's lyrical slash Latin, political passed rappin
With visuals past Malcolm and fittin to go past platinum 
It's hard but I speak the truth inspired to teach the youth 
The fire that heat the booth the high hat the beat the loop 
The system it traps us in they tacklin rappers in 
These shackles that pack us in the back of the clack is in
I'm packin the Mac again like Capital Punishment
Huggin the gun and then runnin and duckin from the government 
They dyin to cuff me up lock me down touch me up
Cock the pound bust me up stop my sound hush me up 
But I shall never hold my tongue 
Before that, I roll my blunt and load my gun 
Give a kiss to my daughter tell my mother I love her
And blow the brains out a couple dirty cops undercover 
Crooked detectives is foul how they book and arrest us
For cookin and stretchin we just tryna feed our kids
The streets crazy wild plus it get crazy foul 
Listen when I say it now (watch it how it go down) 
And that's the reason little kids get hit by strays
Cause muthafuckas can't act they age 
Before you learn how to shoot, better learn how to aim
There's already enough of our people that's dyin from AIDS 
I try and remain calm but it's fryin my brain 
And I am ashamed our generation die over chains 
Alive on the pavement leakin out the side of they brains 
Tell me when will this environment change 
We need new leaders but all we get is new heaters 
And divas and two-seaters as soon as that loot see us It's a bad cycle, just look how they bagged Michael Which one anyone Jordan Jackson Action pack guns ridiculous How they ship to us then we hit the bus From Rykers to Middleton with life as a middleman
Spendin life illegitimate livin life in imprisonment 
When I think of my niggas and I think 
How many are locked I see they never did (watch how it go down) 
And that's the reason little kids get shot in the street
Cause muthafuckas never (watch how it go down) 
And last week my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity 
I walk the town strapped just hopin the pound clap
Correctly and protect me in case they wanna come and wet me 
My enemies on the street far exceed my friends 
So when you see me you don't see no Benz 
That just make me an easy target to jump up and meet the coffin 
And makin my seed an orphan the car then I'm speedin off in
Is stolen I see the narcs in my vision
I see the cops and they grippin they pistols tryna put me in prison 
So I listen to Pac's best and try to be non-stressed 
But how can I not stress the fact that I'm not richer
I'm livin in poverty plus I'm a minority 
Plus are my priorities fucked in this economy 
Rap music is probably not the best career you can choose 
But hearin my views like hearin the news 
So fear me if you skepticize homie but it's clearly the truth 
The Tech Nine'll have you clearin the room
I ain't a killer but I'm somethin like a prophet
I'm tryna get y'all to stop it see the ghetto's microscopic 
It's a better place but for now we got the bread to chase 
Catch a case get bailed out back to stretchin base
I'm bringin a message like Kanye West 
Except your boy got more Tech's than Ron Artest 
I know you wanna see me stretched be my guest
Handle your biz but make sure you (watch how it go down) 
The streets crazy foul plus it gettin crazy wild
 Listen when I say it now (watch how it go down)
