[Intro]
[?]
Just get past your past, man
I wish I could, I wish it were that easy, you know what I mean?

[Verse]
Everybody's a threat where there’s no promise
Doc said it, being hot-headed made us coal miners
Ain't taught peace in these northeast cold climates
Never be of the pedigree to need the cosigners
No yellow-bellies over here, [?] jaundice
When only been lied to, it's hard to know honest
Evasive so racist’s finest won't find us
Had to change our nature to make it to old-timers
Lack of possessions made me possessive
As far as talking about the worst, I may be the best
Gave blood already, now what I'm saying is flesh
To acquire loot to fly the coop, I had to finesse
This life had enough strife, I'd rather the stress
The key to Ka is eat or die, not a matter of jest
Ain't lying, every time pass one they added a test
Rolled cousins, ain't nothing humble to get in the boat
Had all the weapons like he entered the code
Holding on to a [?] before [?] was in vogue
One of my boy's last words: "I meant to reload"
Men that might start with tender heart, toughened up
I tell the truth, whole truth, nothing but
Like hand on the Good Book, other palm was raised
Family going through withdrawals, they was hard to save
Living feeble, we the people God would trade
No cash or credit for help, would start to crave
Same name that robbed the cradle would rob the grave
No stolen victory, like Hannibal at the border of Rome
I adore anonymity, I thought it was known
Streets couldn't compete with what I fought with at home
Speak to you man to man when I’m more of a zone
[Hook]
Your favorite sounds dropping jewels
Made the rounds not the rules
Made it ’round obstacles
Some things I'll never get over
Your favorite sounds dropping jewels
Made the rounds not the rules
Made it ’round obstacles
Some things I'll never get over
