It seems like nobody's trying man There's kids dying in Sudan and nobody cares man At least I'm trying man Look don't ever let the fact that you can't be perfect Stop you from doing your best 'Murs for President' Unless we try the innocent'll die You can't close your eyes keep living in a lie Look we not helpless we not hopeless Said a prayer for the homie whose locked up and wrote this He got to get out and change his ways While I'm looking for a way to explain these days It's trying time so I'm trying to rhyme But so many fascinated with this life of crime hah
Look I'm dying to be different Down to die to make a difference Music for the movement with a message uplifting Went from set trippin' to trips around the world Opportunities are oysters you might find a pearl You can't be scared to take that chance 'Cuz if you rather knock twice then you're late for the dance You gotta move with urgency assert with certainty Ask me if I'm set to serve I say certainly
Higher than the kite I'm high off life At the height of my career a high priest on mikes I'm anti thug and anti drugs Brought peace to the party and got anti love But haters so antiquated I anticipated Accepted it internally at night interpolated
He chopped it up and laid it in a session and then he played it I wrote recorded to it now look what we created
A hot mess I'm hot off the press You yesterday's news dude you just not fresh You cold coffee you wet cigarettes
I'm a shot of Espresso and hot morning *** Early to rise and the last to fall The best thing for black youths is the basketball Word to Kurtis Blow you gotta know the breaks And if you don't know your history I know your fate Uh look been here a minute be around a while longer Every rhyme invented my style got stronger Grayskull Powers when I spray soul showers While you battle rap cats just lay low cowards
Oh you mad 'cause I'm stylin' on you Love songs one minute then I'm whilin' on you That's the pain you gotta love and appreciate I'm a bad man you silly girls need to get it straight Hah small guys denying this is my world Your girlfriend call herself a dark skinned white girl Got a nice beat man come on He hear me in the sample before he even through the drum on Run on sentence I'm the best period He pull the track out I'll black out I'm not hearing it Nada nothing the negative zone And if you can't do better you should let it alone hah
I want it more than you I want it I want it right now I'm wanted in 48 statees for this thou It's sicker than a syringe that's streamlined with strychnine Vegan diet healthy heart and soul with a sick mind Inclined to flip split minds when I spit rhymes So go ahead kick yours and hope I don't kick mine A 50 yard line against the wind through the uprights While you just choke and can't win 'cuz you uptight
Hah he came to the game with two emcees Back when people said you can't make beats on PCs Internet haters major labels be damned Soon produced the full blown threat for the man Now his phone blowin' up he can't hold it in his hand A few months back them fools didn't understand
I was Mary J and Erica Jean Grey etc But the name's 9th Wonder and he crushing all competitors
I cross train toss brain fuel on hot tracks Burn in intelligent infernos you got that I speak clear like the sample is in triplicates Get every crooked cop in Los Angeles to handle this Insane inspired insider street analyst Questioning authority who don't know what the answer is The voice is proof the choice of the youth Forensic evidence say the boy is the truth
