about

this is about my journey as an artist thus far.. talking about whats expected of me, and why i refuse to conform to the stereotype..it also touches on the responisibility i feel we have as poets..

lyrics

Verse 1:
They say am growing old so I have to settle down, give up rapping and aim for the bank accounts, I have a family they need me to settle down, I said it loud, jus gimme one more, y-e-a-r my encore, ready to try my mindframe Balboa or Gamboa on a journey am Noah! saw Goliath and he said it was over, said my style too conscious, so erm, does it make you an unconscious programme , designed with malice to fit into a slogan, a real nigga get high then he smoke grammes? reprogram what we programmed you know fam, a real don’t switch no uncle sams, jus roxannes babies to the slow jams, no definition of blackness, but we blacklist when we think hes not like this? But if a right fist up ten kids, no money or visits pending, hes a wasteman but they say hes real real…but hes not cos his ebonics is missing, they dismiss him like hes not one of those,black conservative we having none of those, black republicans we think he comatose, whose judas Iscariot in Damascus ask us, who will improve us, that gangster ask us? with his mask in tow hes not no nat king cole, black skin glow but hes masking so! Hes amasing gold but he act so low? But is he solo now its the tag team show, pinochio now stuck in chain, hes the black peter pan we call em 2 chainz
Am jus that black boy,*4
B-L-A-C-K heyyy
Verse 2:
The black peter pan so I call em 2 chains. And I don’t mean to slag off, I could jus back off, but real talk is real talk no Matlock, might b uneasy but wax on wax off, me aggy(myagi) so excuse me when I blast off, cruising tthru in a mayback that is not my song, reflection eternal (wordplay tribute to Mos def and talib kwelis rap group) ,De la soul am basking, blueprint (My favourite jay-z album) lets get free (Dead prez album, one of my fav albums of all time) put my lights on,
