This life is full of QUESTIONS with no ANSWERS so we GUESSING
Wonder why we STRESSING, learning LESSONS counting BLESSINGS
Trying to dodge CORRECTIONS too many WITNESS no PROTECTION
From the poorest SECTIONS still nothing CHANGE after ELECTIONS
In the wrong directions, we see the DOTS but no CONNECTIONS
Blocks is pouring weapons, niggas get KNOCKED not cuz CONFESSIONS
Bet its war in Heaven, Politicians, crooked REVERENDS
lying to they BRETHREN, we FOOT the BILL now in COLLECTIONS
World full of INFECTIONS swallow the PILL no INJECTIONS
SHIT still need DIGESTION only thing REAL is my REFLECTION
This is my profession, not just the "MALE" am I ADDRESSING
Cuz WOMEN be messing with NUMBER 2'S like they be TESTING
Still breaking the rules, like we some fools stopping PROGRESSION
We shake and we move trying to avoid the next RECESSION but
Basically lose and end up in a GREAT DEPRESSION
We BROKE so we BRUISE until we get a "PIECE" or RESTING
Peeps bustin they tools letting off STREAKS of they AGRESSION
Just stuck in the mood of those ABUSED from the OPPRESSION
So DRUGS they go USE, not just a HABIT an OBSESSION
No VOICE for our VIEWS, except in the BOOTH for a SESSION
The method I choose to change America's perception
Are really just tools that I was born with call em blessings
But some call em JEWELS with no relation to a NECKLACE
I pray for them FOOLS who in this life still living WRECKLESS
Be Watching the news, watching for DUDES who trying to CATCH US
Them BOYS IN THEM BLUES keep THINGS TO DO up on they CHECKLIST
So all day they cruise, around our homes and disrespect us
It's us they abuse, but when we need them they NEGLECT US
Like CLOCKS when you SNOOZE blocks full of goons HUNGRY for BREAKFAST
Use SOCKS in they SHOES to carry loaded SMITH and WESSONS
You SHOCKED and CONFUSED?? I find it rude they can't protect us
Just WATCH for them CLUES…you'll see it's true that they expect us
To DROP OUT of SCHOOLS, STOCK lots of BOOZE so it affects us
Like SHOCKS in a FUSE, SHOTS make you OOZE they wanna wet us
Like tops in a kooz (*Jacuzzi*) We will not LOSE but still they BET US
Punch CLOCKS for the DUES?? Shit I refuse if you go sweat us
 WATCH stocks on the TUBE, at least give us LUBE if you go SEX us
It's lots we can do to get our BREAD and CHEESE up if they "LETTUCE"
Don't believe its only enough for one SANDWICH that's what they tell us
The game is SCREWED up they give us HAMMERS just to NAIL us
Now we stuck with all our TOOLS in a BOX
They gave my partner 10 years just for moving them rocks, is we losing or not?
All that's on the news is who's getting shot…
And since my kind do most the time…I guess it's COOL that we HOT
Don't lose me, the PLOT, THICKENS as we DROOL and we SNOT
Long as we content wit gettin' bent we won't be ruling the spot
It's hard enough paying the rent, always moving from spots
And since my kind ain't got lots, I peep these
CAUSE IN EFFECT, It's crazier than DEATH IS
Praying that the words I spit ain't falling on no DEAF EARS
From slavery we wept tears, from all of them kept years
Do this for my peeps who never got the chance to rep theirs
Some people take the ELEVATOR to the top, I step STAIRS
Starting from the bottom was the same place where I left fears
Reached another level showed the devil that he's less fierce
Don't ask HOW, WHAT, and WHY got to HEAVEN cuz WHO the HELL cares
Put work in for the GOVERNMENT, jeopardizing my WELFARE
Funny the same GOVERNMENT jeopardizing our HEALTHCARE
Hate to push the buttons but come on just being real here
U feel me tell me hell yea…hell yea
