King Los - Sing About Me (Intro) lyrics

Stuck in this life, stuck in the prison
Stuck by perception and lack of vision
Stuck by design, not by decision
Stuck in my ways, stuck in the system
I'm stuck but fuck having an image
I really be fuckin' with you 'cause
You don't be rappin' them gimmicks
Your vernacular is something supreme
Surpassing the limit's
See my everyday struggle was
Actually academics my nigga
You got it mastered
I'd be considered the average
Joe, but in these streets I've
Adapted well to these tactics
Impregnated with sin, made money my wife
And that's 'cause a Lexus is valued more
Than a life in my hood
I heard your papa got murdered
When you was young
Seen an interview, you spoke on emotion
How you was numb
But, you still grew and did it
Congruent to doing something you love
I think it's love how you made
It out where you from
See the truth is an art that
Even the hardest can feel
Spit that block shit
You need to get back with Marty for real
I'm glad he fought his appeal
'Cause when them crackers tryna crack you
They make you targets for real
But tell me God isn't real
The very thought of a skill
That dedication could nurture
Furthers my intuition that hesitation
Could hurt you
Be strong, be humble, be wise
Be on your shit be quick on your feet
Be hip to these niggas that's on your dick
Real shit
Stay up on your focus and observation
Pick your friends by
Characteristics and conversation
Good word is worth more than a billion
Fuck celebrity
Money should never motivate man
More than integrity, see
They trapped my body but never
Could take my mind
I had every watch that money could buy
But wasted time
Pushed every car a nigga could
Dream but lacked the drive
To take the smarter road so to speak
But that was pride
The black race is no rat race, a competion
I can't even get a letter
From bitches I sponsored, trickin'
Tricked into thinking it was some
Loyalty to this shit
That she would see me locked and treat
Me like royalty in this bitch
You got something special
And your speech is specified
It's like an extra vibe that
Keeps your message electrified
See I was known for packing a MAC
Crackin' a forty stackin', mackin' a shorty
Back and forth in New York
Niggas pushin' packages for me
All that hazardous glory
The pressures of perseverance
Won't let my passions ignore me but
Ashes to ashes
We're living life like a movie
Verse really mappin' the story
I won't be back 'til I'm
Forty but I promise this
All my future achievements
And accomplishments
Will be based on cognitive
Equity and consciousness
But, you can't buy a soda
It ain't for sponsorship
This for my real street niggas
Shorty you are the shit
I got niggas all in the pen
Sayin' you hard as shit
And I don't do friendships, I do partnerships
You play your part, I play my part
And we go far as shit
Remember steel sharpen steel so it
Still ain't no reason to
Let niggas chill around you if
They dull as shit
'Cause when all this shit said and
Done and we call it quit's
I hope that your legacy shine
Press down, shake it and run it seventy times
I wish you heaven divine
A million blessings a line
I pray it's never a second
Your brilliant essence decline
I say this shit just to say I
Used all these lessons to climb
So every time I felt lost
The more direction I find
Your rare essence in mind
Is rooted beyond deep
Like Pac said, the rose that
Grew from the concrete, is you
I watched you full out bloom in a dark room
Unfold from the inside then flew
Out of your cocoon
Your imagination, concentration, fascination
To trial and tribulation
To master your transformation
I hope you take this message in
With all of your growth
Hit the studio, make a mixtape
And call it the GOAT peace
