YC the Cynic, Homeboy Sandman - The Heaviest Cross 2.0 lyrics

The people that I don't say nigga for
Think that I'm stuck up cause
I don't say nigga
They only cared about my hat when
It was Mitchell & Ness
And only read my article when
They's on Huff Po, make me reflect
On when I felt that I was
Losing my way told LRG, Puma, and Red Bull
I'll pass dabbled in selling out
Wasn't about that
But keeping it about the music
Nearly made me an outcast
Label gotta wait another year to recoup
Cause, I can't get any attention
From the agency group they don't sign a cat
Cause his show's awesome
They sign cats for being in mags I told off
Once I'm a household name it's only a matter
Of time before they gotta murder me
'Till then a million people listen to Sand
But everyone think they're the only
One that heard of me

We all got a got damn cross to bear

Even me

Young nigga done did the research
You ain't even know it
You just bought a new Che Guevara
T-shirt at least it ain't Abercrombie
My ace boon coon organized the rally
U ain't even going damn
I went with the shepherd to walk the valley
My guardian gone like orphan Annie
I guess I'll fight for your
Child's equality, higher salary
Dying economy
Cynic so nice what a bright anomaly threw
A fist up tryna fight the cavalry damn
Who'll be the sacrifice in 3
Days come back to
Life a new savior and king in his afterlife
Accept fate do the same damn thing
And sleep fast at night? Well

We all got a got damn cross to near

Even me

6'1 in the middle of life
We die young, dodge guns in the city of light
The lights off so the mice roam any and all
And pythons don't bark so the bigger the bite
Cops don't like getting involved
Unless any and all
The black folks packed into the morgue
Or backdoor backed into the bars
The long arms of the law
The Young Lords spent many a night
Fall soft hard head take a little advice
There's a cost for defending what's right
You could waste time winning the fight
But theres going on with no ending in sight
What u gone set your sights
On when your 3rd eyes
On your I phone and the lights shut off?
I'm on pale white horse fighting
The law with other
Life forms going light years into the night
