Artist: (Tech N9ne f/) Big Scoob, Godemis, Stevie Stone Album: Strange Reign Song: Quicksand * Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com * deluxe edition bonus track [Intro: Big Scoob] Yeahhhh, the homie Don P called the big fella in to talk about this repetitive ass cycle that we livin in the hood No matter how much we struggle, how much we fight It seems like the perpetual quicksand is always grabbin us and pullin us back down So, I'm not here to play the victim or no shit like that, you know what I mean? But with that bein said [Big Scoob] If a pussy run his mouth about yo' boy I'ma sock him Hang a chopper out the window of the low, get to choppin Mind frame of a slave in the days of pickin cotton Only difference nowadays your favorite rappers say it's poppin Pushin product to my people, livin evil for the profit Stay hungry, gotta get it any means, that's my logic Gives a fuck about destruction, who I'm crushin for this dollar Hard times make me holler, gots to get up out this squallor Push a cherry red Impala with these cherry Chucks on Gives a fuck what you think of me, let it be known So proud of my pedigree, strong as King Kong Until the last breath of me, this the shit I'm on Mind frame of a soldier, I'm at war with my people Wicked teachings from these demons planted deep in my cerebral Yet I'm smart enough to know it but the knowledge ain't enough To get the fuck up out of here I gotta get above Quicksand [Chorus: Big Scoob] I ain't never been a quitter They don't come no realer, I'm a stand up nigga Quicksand, as long as I'm livin All I know is go get it, ain't no fucks given Quicksand, I'm in too deep No turnin back now, I'm playin for keeps Quicksand, I ain't had no sleep I am these gutters, I am these streets [Godemis] I pray for anyone livin under duress to be blessed Created to be free ain't no reason to see any less I peep the social media leadin to givin me stress The "Black Lives Matter" is really a lot of BS Could we just attempt to be honest with one another? Talk about the kid you know with no father who got a mother Older brother was a positive figure in the community who caught a case and ended up wastin his opportunity As soon as we get real with the will to address the evil It becomes crystal clear every one of us still inequal Don't believe in any system they say was made to defeat you If any of it matters at all it has to be fecal I've had it up to here with the talk about reparations We need to steer the focus on gettin some education They say that it's the white people hatin, they ain't attackin ya Nobody black is packin up tryin to go back to Africa Facts! [Chorus] [Stevie Stone] Yup, they in the trap now I said them backyard niggaz don't back down They used to bend a couple corners with the straps out They got a short fuse, they'll act out Got lean, got dope, got the packs now All day in and out up out the crack house Got to worry about the law and the money and the bitches No love for the game, nigga e'rybody stitchin What's real? [Chorus]
