[00:00:10] Ohhh

[00:00:13] Yeah

[00:00:21] Ohhh

[00:00:21] I try to always buy final call from the FOI

[00:00:24] Even though that's not what I***m always signify

[00:00:27] Y'all gotta love the struggle in 'em

[00:00:29] They would get on their knees

[00:00:30] And shine shoes

[00:00:31] 'Fore they ever let the drugs afflict 'em

[00:00:33] Makin taco's and f**kin' with McDonald's

[00:00:35] Nickel and dime broke

[00:00:36] But dignified with high hopes

[00:00:38] Some people shoulder

[00:00:39] The weight of the median

[00:00:40] Make it look easy

[00:00:41] Even though they

[00:00:42] Walkin the tight roads

[00:00:44] Immigrants twelve

[00:00:45] Deep in one bedroom

[00:00:46] I'm too cool

[00:00:47] I look at 'em like fools

[00:00:49] Those fools combine forces

[00:00:50] And put the resources

[00:00:51] And guess who the new

[00:00:53] Owner of the corner store is

[00:00:55] Sh*t what's stoppin'

[00:00:56] Me from doin that

[00:00:57] I probably could with drug

[00:00:58] Smugglers approve of that

[00:00:59] Because if one dime sack

[00:01:01] In the time can climax

[00:01:02] Into a billion dollar industry

[00:01:04] Then look at my abilities

[00:01:05] But I'm a dreamer in alotta ways

[00:01:07] I feel if you believe in God

[00:01:09] That you believe in brighter days

[00:01:10] Keep my son's heartbeat in my sleep

[00:01:12] I'ma walk the planet earth

[00:01:14] With his name carved

[00:01:15] Deep in my feet like

[00:01:16] Children growin' women producin'

[00:01:19] Men go workin'

[00:01:20] But what's the use

[00:01:21] When the real strive hard

[00:01:23] And stress about the rent

[00:01:24] And can still die poor

[00:01:25] And in debt without a cent

[00:01:27] Children growin' women producin'

[00:01:30] Men go workin'

[00:01:31] But what's the use

[00:01:32] When the real strive hard

[00:01:33] And stress about the rent

[00:01:35] And can still die poor

[00:01:36] And in debt without a cent

[00:01:39] Ohh god people

[00:01:41] Jesses love you

[00:01:48] Ohh

[00:01:49] Born again christian

[00:01:51] Creatures from the suburbs

[00:01:52] Tryin to save souls on

[00:01:53] Broadway they got some nerve

[00:01:54] Comin' here

[00:01:55] Unaware

[00:01:56] That the one's with no material gifts

[00:01:58] Sometimes most spirits leave rifts

[00:01:59] Lazyness

[00:02:00] Got me spare the stand back

[00:02:02] And what was that

[00:02:03] That can't hold me back

[00:02:04] My man vast told me that

[00:02:05] Harlem got all that

[00:02:06] On a bigger scale

[00:02:08] When there's bullets in the sandboxes

[00:02:09] Every bid is real

[00:02:10] I see children growin' up

[00:02:12] Within a wicked system

[00:02:13] Smilin I wanna kiss 'em

[00:02:15] I see prophet Muhammad in 'em

[00:02:16] Poverty's trickin

[00:02:18] People from my generation

[00:02:19] And hands down

[00:02:20] To world's most creative

[00:02:22] I've seen both sides of the fence

[00:02:24] Picket a chain link and

[00:02:25] We ain't all thinkin' the same thing but

[00:02:27] They teens got so impressed by me

[00:02:30] They try to walk talk interact

[00:02:31] And dress like me

[00:02:33] We captivated the world's imagination

[00:02:35] I used to idolize athletes and entertainers

[00:02:38] 'Cause they never let the situation capture 'em

[00:02:40] System gave 'em lemons made

[00:02:41] Lemonade and sold it back to 'em

[00:02:43] Children growin' women producin

[00:02:46] Men go workin'

[00:02:47] But what's the use

[00:02:49] When the real strive hard

[00:02:50] And stress about the rent

[00:02:51] And can still die poor

[00:02:52] And in debt without a cent

[00:02:54] Children growin' women producin'

[00:02:57] Men go workin'

[00:02:58] But what's the use

[00:02:59] When the real strive hard

[00:03:01] And stress about the rent

[00:03:05] Marvin

[00:03:06] Gaye said it best

[00:03:07] This ain't livin'

[00:03:08] No matter your religion

[00:03:09] The earth keep spinnin'

[00:03:10] And the sun keep shinin'

[00:03:12] Babies keep cryin'

[00:03:13] Old folks dyin'

[00:03:14] In beatswithin' you put ya chiming

[00:03:16] And here I am still lower class

[00:03:18] America

[00:03:19] Same room

[00:03:20] Same view

[00:03:20] Different cast of characters

[00:03:22] Regina got arrested

[00:03:23] As a late prowler

[00:03:24] Couldn't trick

[00:03:25] Got evicted

[00:03:26] Lost her section aid voucher

[00:03:27] Onward goes my neighbourhood's

[00:03:29] Revolving door

[00:03:30] A gang of rental properties

[00:03:31] Nobody owns at all

[00:03:33] I guess that's why

[00:03:34] We call it a hood

[00:03:35] Nobody stays as long as

[00:03:36] It takes to become neighbour

[00:03:38] Children growin' women producin'

[00:03:41] Men go workin'

[00:03:42] But what's the use

[00:03:43] When the real strive hard

[00:03:44] And stress about the rent

[00:03:46] And can still die poor

[00:03:47] And in debt without a cent

[00:03:48] Ohh

[00:03:49] Children growin' women producin'

[00:03:52] Men go workin'

[00:03:53] But what's the use

[00:03:54] When the real strive hard

[00:03:55] And stress about the rent

[00:03:57] And can still die poor

[00:03:58] And in debt without a cent

[00:04:21] Ohhh
