Aasim - Walk on By lyrics

I think I speak for all of us when I say (Uh)
Fuck the politics and government (yeah)
Fuck the bullshit
Fuck the lies you keep feedin' us
Don't call me "nigga", whitey
I want my equal share i'm better than you
I'm bigger, I'm stronger
I last longer (It's one life)
This is my message to you, and you (One love)
(Fuck with me, I'm comin')

Uh, I'm the crack baby needin' a fix
The bum beggin' for change
The wino that's thirsty as shit
The nine-to-fiver workin' hard to
Get minimum wage
Wish Roosevelt would've stayed alive
There'd be better days
It was more honest when we
They called us slave
Now they say "affirmative action"


Callin' us niggas in so many ways
They closin' schools down to
Build a bigger cage
They want us there for life until
Our body's in the grave
And when our bodies no longer exist
They cross us off the list
Give us the shortest month of
The year to celebrate
And this is why we demonstrate
Hold hands for peace instead of agony
And for our troubles
A sniper shoots up a hotel balcony
That's why we out piecin' pushers
The recession I blame it on the Bushes
But they rather blame the drama on Obama
There's a storm brewin'
And I got all I need for evidence
In the movies, when the world ends
A black man is president

That you don't see the tears
(See my daughter cryin' 'cause she
Ain't got no food) so just let me grieve
(See my wife cryin' 'cause we
Ain't got no money)
In private 'cause each time I see you
I just can't help myself
(You don't know what it's like
You ballin' motherfucker)
I think about how tight we used to be
(You don't know what's like to starve)
I break down and cry (You forgot how to win)
Oh, baby, walk on by
(I'm back, listen to me, hahaha)

Heaven help me, I'm a sinner
But I also feel like Jesus
With twelve disciples at dinner
Politics ain't just for government
It resides with the record spinners
Executives with no passion
A couple of corny gimmicks and
You can't recognize who's rappin'?
And niggas they say your family but
Water's thicker than blood?
How does a nigga remain loyal
When the bullshit overfloods?
When the fans demands honesty
And you feed 'em lies
When the shit I write is kilos
But only moves a few dimes
And I'm so sick of the Jedi
That it's givin' me red eye
Let my voice be the drug on which
Those in the struggle can get by
Fuckin' fairytale, Gone with the Wind again
Contract, no signature
No industry benevolence
No retirements, just more requirements
Forty million spins and downloads
And we're not hirin'
Where's all the Scott Frees? What
Happened to the old Loud?
Aasim for president
I'm bringin' back that old sound

That you don't see the tears
(You scared of a nigga like me)
So just let me grieve
(You know what I stand for)
In private 'cause each time I see you
(You know what I believe in)
I just can't help myself
(Everybody ain't French)
I think about how tight we used to be
(But we could all get a piece)
I break down and cry
(It's time for the broke niggas
To get a piece) oh, baby, walk on by
(We can't be stopped, we
Can't be stopped, niggas, let's go)

Forty acres and a mule, cool
Pull a wool over our eyes
Tell us it's rainin' while
You financially gainin'
Seven hun'ed billion dollars for bail outs
Bank accounts overdraft every month
While you shell out million dollar bonuses
Give nothin' to the homeless kids
That just wanna go to school
And have a future, speak your mind too much
They shoot ya
Where's the proof? The case is closed
And niggas is still pointin' fingers on
Who the fuck play what, bro?
And it's record deal, record deal
Fifty million artists
Everybody's swag is crazy plus they
Flow go so retarted
When really, in reality really
It's sad to see these no talent
No skill havin'
Couldn't rap they self up out of a paper bag
And still braggin' 'bout they
Honesty, or honestly, ugh
I can't stand 'em
I wish they all would just
Vanish into thin air
For now I take it all with my stride
Fuck sheddin' a tear of bein' bitter
I just walk on by, yuh

Given the chance
The opportunity and the experience
And the lessons from people
I could be the best
But right now I don't even wish to be best
I just want to be one of 'em
