Verse: u ever had someone jus run in yo crib like nigga I’m finna take all of yo shit. ya momma ya grandma ya son and ya bitch, ya tv, ya clothes, and all of yo kicks like all of yo shit!…/ oh no?.. that aint happen today? well thats the american way: bullets for bitches with something to say. better be thinking the same. or they might call u insane. u might jus wake up in chains, they saying, add some more fuel to the flame then u in the fire again! and that shit is nothing.. can’t kill they character? kill em for nothing!!…/ yea they gon kill em for nothing. call it whatever nobody do nothing../ what a government tho, but even befo’, the presidents. kill all the original residents. not all, leave some for the evidence. So after they gon the story live on. Change all the facts and the kids sing along they don't know no better and no one is told. Continue like this until they are old. Then they go sail to a land full of gold. Kidnap the ppl and beat them with poles. And beat them whips and beat them to death. Work all these ppl til they have no breath. Give em religion... And tell em that God look jus like the ppl creating the prison. Gotta break up the families..And then u impregnate the women.. And then u go teach all the children. Their lighter than usual skin shows they are more of a civilian. Now ain't our reality chilling? U might miss a lot while u chillin. They making money off of the lives of others. That's what u call making a killing

CONSERVATION Five years ago they asked where I saw myself. I thought prolly buried in music and buried in the wealth. Rite now one of them is tru, but I'm looking for the double play. Actions louder than words so sometimes I got none to say...and life is crazy. Death could come today—even if u ain't fuckn wit it death could COME today, uh. Shawty on that model shit jus wanna runaway. My niggas born in the belly can't put the gun away, uh. His vision clouded. He need the sun to say—yellin at his baby moms like I need my SON to stay. Its all colored gray. U gotta change ur view. I had a lotta bad habits, only changed a few. Cuz Ima change for me. I ain't gon change for u. Cuz u won't preciate the change unless u changing too. They say the grass is greener? I'll let u be the judge. Oh yea the grass is greener. But did u see the mud. The clouds powder blue. On a vanilla sky. It was too good to be true, but I ain't see the lie. Wish I could see it all. The all seeing eye. Like water ain't as thick as blood but it keep u alive. Hk It's more than music. It's a conversation. And I won't let it die. Call that conservation. Yea. I break bread not my concentration. Holding onto the moment. Call that conservation. She say I'm overthinking. I say it's contemplation. Protect ur state of mind. Call that conservation. V2 Reminiscing bout da old days, it feel like a past life. Funny how things from last year feel like last nite. Last nite feeling like a week ago. Yea I'm time traveling. Not sure where I need to go—I jus know survival of the fittest. Yea I'm on that work out. Til they pick my coffin and they gotta dig the dirt out. Chasing dreams down the turnpike, yea it take a toll. My niggas like, boy u don't even fuckn chill no mo. I know. Yea I know I ain't the same, I'm jus hoping being different might bring me a lil change in every sense of the word it's like I'm sensing the words. Sittin at this job like fuck it I should jus swerve -start- spittin on the curb like I'm spittin on the curb meaning I don't give a fuck I kno my vision in the cure. Uh Life so fast got my vision in a blur, tho these days so slow it's like the minutes never learn. gotta make connections. Life is not a straight flight. Lil nigga, big plans, everyday is date nite. Pastry chef in the kitchen tryna get this cake right—it ain't all bout da dough but yo I'm tryna use this cake knife. So when they saying mo money mo problems?! These muhfuckas musta never HAD problems! Hk It's more than music. It's a conversation. And I won't let it die. Call that conservation. Yea. I break bread not my concentration. Holding onto the moment. Call that conservation. Say I'm overthinking. I say it's contemplation. Protect ur state of mind. Call that conservation.

Dark side intro it aint always all good…nah mean. Can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel… Hk On that dark side nigga when the sun ain't never rise at. Road less traveled where no one ain't never ride at. Dealing with errthang that they dealing me. If u a bitch ass nigga I know u ain't feeling me cuz everyday I'm one (one) step away. So step away got too many thoughts, guess its time to choose. life aint a fuckin mystery, some don’t like the clues. And so i sing the blues word to the suede shoes— pay these niggas no mind, but always pay dues, yea. In today's news tempers boiling no one coolin it. Niggas who ain't never HAD shit is fuckn losin it. Now ain't that Ironic? Catch 22. I ain't tryna catch that muhthafucka like that bitch the flu—oh no! like wut he posta do/ daddy left, momma gone, he da man at 22/ now he staring down that chrome i aint talkin 22s/ told that he could be a winner wasn’t told that many lose—hold up/ every trip is not a cruise/ sleep the cousin of death, keep em fighting, family feud. he stay up fighting slumber/ no dreaming when he sleep/ nightmare on elm street/ every hour on repeat Hk On that dark side nigga when the sun ain't never rise at. Road less traveled where no one ain't never ride at. Dealing with errthang that they dealing me. If u a bitch ass nigga I know u ain't feeling me cuz everyday I'm one (one) step away. So step away V2 Been doing alota thinkin. Plus alota drinkin. The two don't always mix, for me it's will and jada pinkett/ thats a power couple/ part of life is a power struggle/ a power ranger named Austin powers my powers double. U power tripping? That's how the power can make u stumble. That powers absolute like bottles of absolut. He on that middle shelf tryna get high as the roof. Money's the issue so his magazines ready to shoot. Huh?! Good nigga, bad block. Looking for an open do' but all them bitches padlocked. Fast clock, got em runnin, fast breaks with the rock. But who u trust except U wit the last shot, feel me?...play the game, no coach. Jus watching niggas moves with pen take notes. cuz some'll spring forward, others fall into the winter. A dish served cold. Don't end up being dinner

NO JOKE while mad niggas out here chasing these hoes I'm goin in, been goin in. I done said it before and Ima say it again. Been out writing these niggas. Who talkin all that same lame shit? They holding kites and I'm lightin to these niggas. Grab a history book. As soon as I kick the door in? Ima have the whole fuckn industry shook. And I ain't talkin shit this jus a conversation. I call it as I see and EYE don't need a telescope for observation. Seen 50 get rich . Seen Wayne get rich. Seen dre get rich. I ain't tryna stay in these bitch. I heard that old jay z. On that reasonable doubt. Talkin bout straight up out the hood to spilling cris on the couch. Muhthafuckas making it RAIN like we ain't in a drought!—check the weather before u step out the house. What u ain't know? In the maze? Cheese is everything in LIFE to the mouse. The ONLY fuckn way he makin it out. So what u ex-pect. Black in America everyday is a death threat. They only love u if u winning or the best yet. There's a reason why these secrets are best kept. When the muhthafuckn truth out? We blow the fuckn roof out. -Prolly why- bullshit is the new black. Like, that go wit everything where u get it at. Meanwhile I'm jus over here like nigga tuck that shit up. We gotta STAND for something or we won't never get up. Now don't get me wrong, blowing bundles on this fashion shit. Making looking fresh look like a magic trick. I suppose the contradiction maybe human nature at it's clearest. And recognizing fault? evolution at its nearest. I'm somewhere in between jus tryna figure it out. While too many feel like they've figured out. So now they coming at me. Because I don't agree with they philosophy—yall, thinking u know everything u know nothing at all. So don't tell me bout no shit that u heard from somebody who heard it from somebody now U tryna talk like somebody. I know ur word is not fa sho, it's a prolly. And u know if I say it, then it went down like the lobby. Yea Hk: (no joke nigga!) That's why ain't nobody laughin. Only that realla shit if anybody asking. (no joke nigga!) that's why ain't nobody laughin. Ready for the camera and ready for the action V2 To sustain your self you Gotta not give a fuck. Life is give and take, choose wisely what u giving up. Cuz people have opinions some are stronger than others. candy coat what they saying to turn you into a sucker..let em shape you? they'll take ur Will like Billy. Ask you to show And tell? but they will show you pity, if you feel me keep on building turn your life into a city. Hope I have time to visit, but you know niggas be busy. So I'll keep you in mind and try to keep you in heart. If you don't drop the anchor? you know people drift apart. I mean you know how it be, just texting to say what's up but it's out of sight out of mind, you get caught up with life it's tough. Getting older and shit. Niggas shaping they life. Having kids with they girl, then making they girl they wife. Or it be drama with baby mamas baby fathers and custody. He ran over to his daughter she asked"why are u hugging me?" Cuz daddy won't be seeing u as much as he like. But I'll love u a little more, everyday of my life. She replied "but why wouldn't you see me? we're a family". He thought "bc I just found out ur real father isn't me" ...no joke

U higher if u heard of me. Super clean...I could perform a surgery. She yellin "u ain't shit". That thought never occurred to me—u r mistaken. Who u breaking. can't break what can bend. I'm pieces of a thesis The beginning of the end. I see em chase the trend -like- wtf is loyal. I can't mix wit em they are water to my oil. So dealing with these fuckn snakes I could run a zoo. Yea, cold ass world nigga I might run a flu, yea. Shawty gettin lose, like she ran outa glue so I don't trust her less she enough to touch her with a screw! Prolly think I'm trippin I ain't fall yet.

U won't catch me slippin what u thinkin (neva dat) [dat]. Nigga Neva dat [dat]. Shawty Neva dat [dat] V2 - I go illmatic automatically. I don't needa shift. I'm at work errday I don't needa shift. Niggas wanna be heavyweights? They gon needa lift—meanwhile I'm in a new whip I don't needa lift. I stay twisted but neva get the game twisted. Fly nigga I'm overhead dem lames missed it. Duffle bag in the overhead and Checkin tickets. Fuck Nike checks sign checks check digits. Life's a game of inches. Like the NFL—bad last minute decisions caused many men to fail. To the winners of the spoils and I'm feeling spoiled. Niggas steady got me twisted gues them niggas coiled. I laugh when they try to gas me like I done had a gas mask full of laughing gas for the last week. Niggas mad sweet. And if I'm an asshole I jus want two models for my ass cheeks. V3 Okay the worse case scenario is shit I ain't neglecting. Cuz u can't prepare for shit that u ain't expecting. And so my eyes peeled all the way to the core -cuz- when they caught my nigga slippin he had went to war. was looking round like shit we ain't in Kansas anymore. When they all pulled out them midgets yea dem bitches 4'4—boom! Shit. And we all jus tryna live. Man we ain't no fuckn animals we got so much to give. But they tell us it's a jungle then we thrown to wild—tell our sons man up ain't no home for a child. Early education bout beef, that ain't what u eat. It's the only meat that'll get u buried 6feet.

Wildlife This is yo life. And it's my life. The worlds a concrete jungle we are the wildlife. This is yo life. And it's my life. The worlds a concrete jungle we are the... People scared of success. Scared of being the best. Scared of everything that comes with it scared of the stress. That's like me wanting pussy but being scared of a dress -Or- in a glass house and scared to leave the address -Don't- make me tell the truth. Then say I'm talking shit. My nigga I put on myself cuz that's the only fit, uh. Ain't been on vacation in awhile now that's a trip. Been working back to back like I'm watching my 12 and 6...And that's the clockwork. So how the clock work? It tell time but can't tell u how the block work...it's something like the second mouse gets the cheese. The first mouse is in the trap bent at 90 degrees. Now that's hot, and we all can't take the heat. Gotta watch where u walk cuz we all can't defeat. Huh. We ain't all gon getta seat. This shit is musical chairs hope u moving to the beat. Got stranded for seven days had em feeling week. He prayed to the same God that put the devil on the street. Now ain't that fuckn ironic, we worshipping the iconic, this gin and tonic got me seeing rings I'm feeling like sonic. Red target on my back cuz my skin is blacker than onyx. Red white and blue behind me, which gang will it be? Niggas throwing up, Bs and Cs? the COPs? The kkk or the GOPs. It's desperation if I c no gees. Wish it wasn't so plain and simple. I'm fly as fuck, I'm fly as ever my plane is simple. Above these fake muthafuckas I give em no merit. I see through em like cate Jenner a trans parent. I give a fuck what ur girl rock or ur mans wearing. Look at the life and times. It's like life in rewind. What we need are some bigger ears and an open mind. Cuz at the root of all evil u will see fear intwined. They start to hate when they fearing mine. White chalk black street, there ain't no clearer line. Cross it if u wanna u won't make it back. You'll b gone and one of ur homies might make a track. Momma gon cry for months. Old heads finna pour liquor and light the blunt. Like gotdam that was nigga but he liked to stunt. Needa stunt double for the action. U can get it if they assassinated a Jackson. They gon call that shit malpractice or suicide. Turn the lights out so nobody know who inside. Try to tell my folk that we only got u and I. And it's unity when the two collide. Uh, conspiracy theorist. I know the world ass backwards with no direction. It's like an outta work actor. It's real in the field. Either u the dirt or the tractor underestimate either u won't even be a factor. And hat's algebraic...stay in school. Or make a move and get the fuck out if it ain't for u. Cuz this is yo life. Jus like its my life. The worlds a concrete we are the wildlife.
