lyrics
I’m walking down the street, cracks in the concrete,
I try to avoid them while I wander along guided by feet,
But sometimes they step harder than my ass hits a seat,
And others feel so sweet like crystals from a sugar beet,
Sorry mom, I guess I went and kinda broke the back,
Chose a higher education over violent crime or crack,
Not much cash for livin, clingin to the earth, like plaque,
There’s proof of that in my walkin down this shady avenue,
Tree’s that if I cut down I would gain some straight revenue,
Workin toward goals can make me feel small, a shrew,
But even they have defenses against the talon-teds view,
Moment of realization on how to do what I do,
Need some beats, get that money; get the shit I need to make,
The instrumentals needed to get the recognition that it takes,
To have a career, and to make some of these stories told,
Many people I know, some of myself, characters bold,
Like the coffee that I drink I just chug it and sometimes spit it,
fuckin rappin been called wanna be, but like my cap it’s fitted,
To the notion that my head cares what everyone of you thinks,
everyones a critic these days n’ the industries on the brink,
An age of independence gaining on a mainstream that stinks,
Music with a message carved in its artists, a sphinx, when I
Know I’m good enough to stand here and rip it on the mic,
don’t hear nobody askin question; I’m on fire, lucky strike.
