Live from da T.r.a.p

12 monkeys

[Hook 1: Skank]
Shorty got that cake like Sara Lee
I been on a binge since 17
Spitting like ape fighting in his dreams
What I don't fix now effects the future scene

Red n***a like a tonto
We ain't been safe since we been snatched out the Congo

We ain't been safe since we been snatched out the congo

We ain't been safe since we been tracked out that jungle

[Verse 1: Skank]
S.t
Baby n.y.s.t
Getting I.m.'s
Anime future scene
When the streets start watching g's
They ain't watching you like they watching me
From astronomy
I don't need help from the feds
When I start to speak
From the first sentence
Skank like,,
Person of interest
They try a box us in
Barcodes & packaging
Got me looking
Crazy like a Martian been
What if they took my shape
Had the same skin
With racial profiling
Blame him
Person of interest
Lyrical simplex
How they they gonna mind ya business
Hard as hell with a mind up in it
I don't buy the gimmicks
Shed light on the lime
Like some good green
Kermit over lipton tea
Maybe it's just me
Maybe it's the means
To stop a young man from earning green
Really tryna eat
I can't air my self out on a news feed
I could be passive
But they'd throw me in the classes
Occupied by average
I am not the savage
How far will the government go to embarrass
They raided Africa so much
That they can't grow carrots

We ain't been safe since we been snatched out the congo

[Verse 2: Skank]
I don't feel safe
I feel safe
I feel locked like a brief case
Of hot stock
Strictly business
Like a brief state of fright shock
StarStruck
Got me in the stars
I might drop
Still shooting
At my television for telling visions
I might cop
So much they try to take my visions before I start (god bless America)
Old man like seek church
You ain't living rite
Because we all under a satellite

I could be passive
But they'd throw me in the classes
Occupied by average
I am not the savage
How far will the government go to embarrass
They raided Africa so much
They can't grow carrots

Record my prayers
Send em via parasite
Anarchy,, no bikes
Energy,,,,,,,,,, strobe lights
No sympathy from the business type
But God gave me style and grace
I could change a life
12 monkeys in trees or on em rite
S is real like Is-rae-lites
Born into the same fight
Scorn until I change like
Coming to America's
Hysteria
You lying to the seeds about malaria
Eczema
Profit for a company
Watered down cures
Skanky stacks wanna submerge
I'm saying fuck a tour
Unless I'm all red spitting for a cure
Militant mindstate
Like I mind state laws.......
UGH
Make a n***a wanna stay on tour for days
Cure for cancer, cure for aids
My fatigues old school baby
They out of date!
I kept work in my crib like I hid stargate!!!
The worst isn't her yet
Girl we just broke chase
Like ma we just got away
Young William h...
This guy's brilliant
Like how a Guinness taste forra date
Please don't let me WAIT
Clear my head today

[Verse 3: Skank]
On my night grinds
Some differ through grape vines
I bend lines
I be watching gma now
Like it's night time
I be higher than planes
Flying through foreign lines
Corny shit don't entertain me yall
I'm changing lives
Man the kid changing
Underground but living fly
It's hard to heed the poor standing by the corner store cornerstone
Looking fresh
But he only got a metro phone
To real love we
So we connect the thots
So we trace pictures
I'm on track but it's
Dangerous without scriptures

Always digging for,, things to expose
But won't dig into they pockets
Bigger troubles of the world
I can't get over getting over
Like if I blow then my life's appointed to a soliger
Because I'm getting older
And police start looking younger
So I'm smoking doejah
Bout my chicken
Man rolling roasters
Skank early like roosters
Wiser than the previous dudes
Don't associate my intro with interludes
Unless you let the whole thang play through
Menace II society
This cane too

Ugh

I could be passive
But they'd throw me in the classes
Occupied by average
I am not the savage
How far will the government go to embarrass
They raided Africa so much
They can't grow carrots
