Who Earns the World

You

Are

About

To

Witness

The

Power

Of

Street

Knowledg-

 

Criminal, from the east side of the river

Music Individual, never miss, always deliver

Nigga, you should bow, you should quiver

crop you up, behavin like chopped liver, oh, that a blick?

Im meant to be scared, well, timber me shivers

Im the messiah, this be my scripture

push me, i a killer, don't need a safety for the stick

to kill snot-nosed tricks, to move twenty bricks

to support my sistren and breddas

got fam in the ends that don't know cheddar

i know boys that made they sisters sell her

body for the bread and cheese, disgusting me

begging jeez, if the world was a house, why we live in its cellar

we only want better, ties we would sever, if we could reach above the glass

but itll never, ever, happen forever, we tethered to the forces of destroyers

gentrification, deception, in this nation, rising like the crime rate

you know what i hate? mindless bitches, crybabys, in office singing why waita party, open the floodgates,

Raise the taxes, treat our citizens like inmates,

Make sure the Ends never start, the starts will never end, act like laws are joints,

pass to a friend, lasting it again, and again, how much more pressure before we start to bend

youll never find out, well never let the signs out

breathe in and out, put these children in timeout

 

If you don't know then now you know

if you didn't well, then now you know

if you don't know, then learn

not my concern what you can and can't discern

ignorance, pride, lust, greed, luttony, wrath,sloth, all these things speak to me

i ignore em, but for how long can i stay this way

how long before my mind starts to pay?

 

 

 

Have one story to tell yall, that what the plan was

spinless dictators, masquerading as landlords

My breddanem got pissed off, didn't accept he was

trying to make him pay more, he already on benefits,the streets he stayed off

he begged and he pleaded, but the lord wouldn't budge, even his paunch was smug

my breddas face turned stony, he switched up, pulled out a piece longer than six guns

gave the guy one chance, that he took away, but the story ain't done, more than one life was lost that day

im sittin on the couch inside, screams and two bangs erupt in my ear

now let me be clear what this about, not an admission of guilt, but i know what i hear

i see my bredda over this guy shocked, a face thats unclear

fear, hatred? or despisal? Couldn't wait, know it was moments till the fed's arrival

And i was right, ten minutes into packing, me and SY saw lights on the wall

red and blue and white outside, sirens blaring, Concorde of Valkyries

my mind turned to thoughts of whether id be better off without him

but the door bust open, the police started shouting,

we were down the emergency stairs, heartbeat in the thousands

im thinking this where i die, for sum i didn't do

my brilliant mind gon be splattered all over my shoes

SY and me downstairs now, at the emergency entrance

go through the door, Swat aiming guns, SY stupid though

he knows the risk but still pulled the stick

didn't even aim before a bullet and his face kissed..

 

If you don't know then now you know

if you didn't well, then now you know

if you don't know, then learn

not my concern what you can and can't discern

ignorance, pride, lust, greed, luttony, wrath,sloth, all these things speak to me

i ignore em, but for how long can i stay this way

how long before my mind starts to pay?

 

Life end like that sometimes

Realest niggas the ones that end up dead

the gluttonous end up eating lead

street is dead like internet

fakes under stress, sing for feds

snitches get stitches, so we wrung that canary's neck

 

fuck it i just realised what the look on SY's face was

(what nigga?)

(fuck.)

(Damn, tell me then.)

(Satisfaction. He Was Satisfied.)

(...)

(Bro?)

(... Ain't never gonna be a nigga from the ends that satisfied.)#
