DEFENDER'S RAP

• Growin' up in the struggle, didn't have a mother to cuddle,
• walkin' to school in cheap shoes gettin' soaked in a puddle.
• On my Nipsey vibe, I had to turn to the Hussle/Hustle,
• hooked up with the local muscle, couple rocks to smuggle.
• Earned cheese, siblings got clothing to stack up their closet,
• just a youngin' with a starvin' wallet, to a man with an obese pocket.
• Ya'll think I'm out of line for braggin' about the luxurious things in life,
• I was out-of-time, no more Welfare lines, got a baddie in her prime.
• Had a kid or two, maybe more, undisclosed amount, the rubber broke,
• Child-Support ain't a joke, rather be enjoyin' a smoke, sniffin' some coke.
• Life hit me with a gigantic boulder, each day having to look over my shoulder,
• ain't never been a cell-soldier, hearts been decimated, it's gettin' real colder.
• To the top I am getting closer, wish for a day where I ain't got heat in a holster.
• Day-to-day, brother's get sprayed like rats with bullets inflictin' much pain,
• gas chamber reaction, hitting my brain, I'm goin' insane in the membrane.
• Bench has no depth, can't recall the previous night that I've slept,
• demons in my dreams crept, broken glass un-swept, out-of-breath.
• Each day I enjoy a', damaging plate of paranoia,
• you know life is rigid when you're named 'Doc', and the paramedics ignore ya'.
• Pockets wide like Triangle's in Texas, exes restless,
• enjoyin' fancy breakfast, 24k carrot necklace precious piece of what my check is.
• I deliver, emcee's get sent a shiver down their liver, body ends up in a river..
