[Verse 1: MIKE]
I'm in the city all times of the day
I hock rhymes, hock spit on the page
I lost time, I lost shit in the shade
Cost me a heart be in place
I'm hardly a heart beat away
I rap hard when the beat go astray
His black car get snatched and repaid
Track-star when it come to the race
N***as tryna surf getting lost in the waves
Brush 'til it hurt getting lost in my ways, lost in my ways
Papa see I'm off in the face
Prophecy I spotted its fate
Cool guy shit tryna dab me but wait, wait
N***a I stay where my faculty plays
No slime don't pass me the vape
Tryna get smacked get cracked in the
Get cracked in the head

[Verse 2: King Carter]
Suicidal thoughts hope the pain go away
Started from the bottom, man I came a long way
Now I'm killing the game, got me feelin' a way
So pairs go you can't take
We working on something your woes can't relate
All black like the mob, the new Black Panther
Young, black and handsome, the struggle is real
We the new slaves blindly working the fields
The media kills, it's all corrupted
Race war is starting, stay safe in these streets
Put my heart in my work, I'm expanding my worth
Brooklyn my borough that's where they will hurt you
It's four in the morning its way past my curfew
My momma is worried, her son might be dead
Whats the worst that can happen, police start capping that's tragic
[Chorus: Taharqa]
Police start capping that's tragic, police start capping can't have it
Police start capping that's tragic, I went to Bookins for backwoods
Police start capping that's tragic, police start capping can't have it
Police start capping that's tragic, tragic, tragic

[Verse 3: Taharqa]
Lyrics clean, but my city dirty
Never sleep so I can wake up early
Dealt with subtle bullies, never caught a swirly
Now they in line for the show plus they show up early
I hope you heard me
I can't repeat, but on the side of your screen you can click repeat
So if my words too thick and the beat to dense
Close your eyes, deeply sigh and feel the heat

[Verse 4: Sixpress]
I was lost, then I found myself in the music
A healthy influence could help me evolve
We get busy we involved
Fly over city smog and I landed in charge
You can't manage these bars
I'm a man in the dog
Tryna find the path live from sparks
And if you average then pause
I see mad kids that's rapping and mad kids could fall
Mad kids, no beef but got hands
You could cab bitch, you could catch bitch
Don't get close like a cactus
