Featuring Lecrae, Termanology & Posdnuos (of De La Soul)
(Intro)
If the game shakes me or breaks me, I hope that
It makes me a better man, take a better stance
Aye, wuddup Statik?
Can I talk to the people man?
Wussup yall? It's yo man Lecrae
I just wanna put something in your mind
(Verse 1: Lecrae)
Look
This songs dedicated to all the kind of Gs that seem miseducated,
A young Malcolm Red got up out of his prison bed
Said "I'mma leave a mark on this world When I'm dead"
X marks the spot
Alot of clowns get shot,
But they living for nothing when he died for alot,
From the blocks to the prison,
Many risen to lead,
But I can't get a job they be testin' my peace,
Man, I keep it trill I got sick of callin in sick,
Waiting for an A&R to come and find me in the sticks,
Ain't had the money for school, so I applied for scholarships,
From black and indian roots, it's amazing what you get,
Was I wonderfully crafted, to piss and pay taxes
Mader reflect the master lay on the mattress,
Get up, get out, get something man, cultivate a creation,
Don't blame it on your lack of education,
Go to church, go to school, Walk the earth, watch the news,
Type a person who hates what he learns called A fool,
Type a person who don't want to work called skinny,
The type of person that learns and applies I call winning.
You were wired to be hungry for more, than what you currently are
But you spoiled, your appetitin' on these mediocre bars,
Mediocre stars is all they shootin' for,
So I wonder why we rarely get far.
(Verse 2: Posdonus)
She got Bet Davis eyes, Phyllis de la grill
The game that she's names is such a killer feel
Killed to be killed, you might end up in the dirt
With no guarantee to end up on the shirt.
Made to work hard and end up into coffin
So when you're hard at work, you don't really get to see death causing often
But why rest? When the rest of the world is like yo
Grown man, you need to drop up some pearls!
Them legends from the ground put me through school
Had me run up on stage and looking dead in their eyes
Known to the same with the newest of the games
So when they run up on stage, they look em dead in they i? Phone
And I'm known as a vet.
We gonna take Cali to some old school tied around my neck
Challenged the game herself to a game of wealth
She left and gave me money, but I kept my fame on stealth
Quiet money still money and we talk tall
She got her face dog up
White nose all on froze lines, the snow crawled up in the cold
We claimed up the stage, shut up in the arm
The B Manillo be the handle though
They say that we made it but them note Paul checkin they jaded
But if the game shakes or breaks me
A better man, I will become till the day I will be done
(Verse 3: Termanology)
Uh, it's too much ice grilling with eyes closed
It's too much eyes work and fly clothes
We gotta get our priorities in order
Before we go and order another pair of Jordans
Is up to the finest, she's taking care this time
Or is just another D minus he here for always lyin
Can you go and put it behind us?
So what you trying to find?
I ain't trying to say I'm perfect, but I sure am tryin
One thing about me, feel the music in my soul
Could have changed up, could have went the wrong road
Seen the door opened, could have seen the door closed
Could have seen the cup empty, but I've seen the cup full
Now that the tank full man, where you wanna go?
I ain't gotta sell records for my heart to go, go!
Learn that while you're young, save a lot of heart breaks
Drop dudes on your summer and to what mom says
Son, first was apostil, second was the prophet,
Third was the teacher, now they all watch him
Trying to be peaceful, man I'm just trying to live
Cause Lord knows I had problems at my momma crib.
Life had me stop, oh, making dollars deal
But the dollars I was chasing it was counterfeit,
So bogus, living your life hopeless
Up against the roads just trying to stay focused
While I'm on this Earth, I'mma try to progress
I know a lot of men that's rich, but they know less!
But since I age being rich where health God and fam
My friends and my fans, I'mma die a rich man!
(Outro)
Ayo Statik, thanks for letting me speak to em on this one man
If the game shakes me or breaks me, I hope that
It makes me a better man, take a better stance
