I wear my badge of honour at all times.
Why is it that I have to resort to some type of crime?
I live my life 1 step at a time but I fell behind.
The world can be truly unkind.
Kick you while you are down and leave you in a bind.
Please God, if you exist. Show me a sign
"I watched you sign the dotted line."
I don't know what you are talking about.
"You got your money, common." Do I need to shout?
Nobody told me anything from the jump.
And I'm losing my patience and somebody is gonna get a tump.
Give em a gooseegg lump
Fucking chumps.
I never sold. I used to do bumps.
I tried to live my life the right way.
Like my parents that sacrificed for thier kids everyday.
So please give me the answers I need while I pray.
I need them before I die and start to decay.
Why does my entire life have to be on display?
Why does the colour of my skin always have to come into play?
So many questions I have but can't be explained.
Wisdom and knowledge is what I seek to attain.
My chain of respect is hard to see.
It doesn't bling blatantly.
I never moved dainty.
Nor with the grain
or in vein
always moved patiently.
It's plain to see
that I've been set up to file apparently.
But it was plain to see.
In this world, it's hard to move graciously.
So I move to my own beat.
We live in the best time in time and it's a treat.
If you want to resolve this issue then pull up a seat.
I honestly don't want confrontation when we meet.
Let's end the rumors and lies and have them deceased.
So we can all move forward to an understanding peace.
