Never think just for Shits and giggles Do we spit sylable riddles For bits and kibbles So chics can wiggles and shake Cause this image is fake I'm tryin hard to relate In a place filled with so much hate Some brothers debate Some love or some hate Whatever the case Its all about the choices you make That's the reason your balloon'll deflate But to relate We tryin' to take rap back to it's primitive state, wait No overnight success or runnin' with vets Just pure unadulterated work progress I'm willin' to bet the farm You'd give your right arm For a piece of the pie Ask yourself, Why? If you only knew The trials and tribulations we been through
But if you only knew We're real people homey, just like you
We humble, but don't mistake us for some corny ass crew
What we do, is try to give you what you ain't used to Soul music, somethin' we can all relate to Yo yo, I ams what I am and that's all I can be Uh, no more no less what you're seein' is me Akil the emcee dubbed the U-I-S-C, uh Wise, intelligent, God did bless me Yes we, rock up off the S-B freshly Especially dangerous rough and deadly The pimp positioner, tip the Richter...Scale Alone we sink together we sail and prevail The rum raisin comin through guns blazin' Some of you duns runnin' ones with none savin' Complainin', me and my clan are unscathen
From the soul comes somethin' amazin' (talking in background)
Yo, how many times I got to hear Some fanatic in my ear Tellin' me I got to keep it real When they ain't payin' my bills Or feedin' my kids, judgin' me on how I live If my crib in the hood or if it's up in the hills? Have you forgetten who you are? Oh, you think yo a star Why you frontin'? (You ain't nothin') You went from nothin' to somethin' But somethin' means nothin' if ya people still wantin' And ya got money and givin' them nothin' Flossin' and frontin' Ya game of sharades The way you behave The image you save Yeah brother that's one big parade I'm sick of your ways I'm sittin here spittin a phrase Next time they smile and they wave They probably be with a gaze
