[00:25.742]When Carlito was dying
[00:26.992]He see the shadow of his girl dancing with the baby
[00:29.491]Like **** it it’s my time
[00:30.751]But if God save me
[00:31.756]Maybe I’ll erase any vice that could potentially bring harm to me
[00:35.002]Before I make a move I think about it karmically
[00:37.743]Everything come back like a boomerang
[00:39.741]I’m black as Paul Mooney slang
[00:44.881]And all I pray for is health and a sustainable business and a faithful missus
[00:45.885]I see a lotta people try to be who they ain’t
[00:48.375]We don’t want money that fit in the bag we want the bank
[00:50.882]Just to spread it around, like icing on the cake
[00:54.774]White tiger in a cage, Mike Tyson in ‘88
[00:55.777]Dedicated like jack boys on Melrose
[00:58.276]Smash and grab, yo this world became a hell hole

[01:18.239]If I wanted to now I could live an old man life
[01:20.740]Confronted with how the hood can use more funding
[01:22.996]More budgets for more teachers
[01:24.240]Financial literacy, more speeches
[01:26.497]Chefs come cook for me
[01:28.426]Look what it took for me
[01:28.936]The streets had its hooks in me
[01:30.672]Yeah
[01:32.100]People ask me what books to read
[01:32.600]Destruction of black civilization, that’s history
[01:35.606]Journal of Chris Columbus, that is what interests me
[01:37.852]Juneteenth holiday finally came and it pisses me
[01:40.350]Off, for the fact that we came in chains
[01:42.101]You’ll be physically in pain
[01:43.351]Dedicated like Ricky Walters, Dougie and Dana Dane

[02:10.886]Test, test, yeah, yunno
[02:16.386]To get to this point
[02:20.380]I might have to write a script, a manuscript
[02:24.141]Yo, yo, ghetto manners is you thuggin’ me or asking?
[02:29.631]Finessin’ me or pressin’ me, well none of that is happenin’
[02:32.134]Accessory to murder not necessarily Manson
[02:35.578]I’m just a G in constructs a Pelle Pels or a Vanson
[02:37.579]Ratty clothes we haven’t spoke in years, pat his coat
[02:40.340]Check his waistline, he spyin’ on who has the most
[02:42.829]Best to leave me alone, I get in my zone
[02:45.585]Laughin’ with African presidents while over the phone
[02:48.078]Shit be feeling like the last days, cash made

[03:06.579]I’m droppin bars nigga like I’m on stage with smack
[03:09.330]To my niggas who have staples from the navel up
[03:11.830]Healed up, had to chill a while, lay in the cut
[03:14.590]Shorty tried to wop me down in the Mercedes truck
[03:17.796]Pulled up, cobblestone ground in my palatial hut
[03:20.731]Paradis for niggas still doing deals in the street
[03:23.941]Original Backwoods I fill ‘em with green
[03:26.892]Am I a musician? Or am I a magician?
[03:30.830]No tricks, just real shit, straight out the kitchen
[03:31.837]
[03:32.084]Pure magic
[03:34.830]No tricks, no tricks
