[ROCSteady]

as a lyricist???

Through my travels I try to take righteous steps
Because right or left could mean life or death

No matter how trife it get, my sights is set
But it's twice the threat when the ?nights is death?

My mental windows refuse to close, they get exposed
To the neighborhood info where the poison wind blows

A deadly plague spreadin negativity, viciously
Unto every city be in ghetto misery

Don't let it get to me, the writer be left to die
But it get mesmerize if it catch your eye

Shines enormous, from pure revered Kool's and garments
But it's torment, jealousy drug wars or warring

Tallying, slowly turnin into barbarians
More scary when the whole boulevard's carryin

Livin in the world of sin, my ghetto girls and men
Waiting for the world to end

:bowdown:

[ROCSteady]

as a lyricist???

I see destruc-tion, even little kids trust none
They bust guns, that's what they get a rush from

When I see em, we build and have a real discussion
"Yo Ra, what's the jewel of the day?" "What up, son"

"You got ambition?" Shorty said, "Man listen
I got demands for livin, can't stand division

Make grands on my mission, till everything glisten
Women in the Expedition, no plans for prison

In a vision the city get, 2 milleni G
Sittin in my MSC sippin Hennesy

Gettin high, and watch life pass me by"
So I asked him why, wit a fast reply

He said "I'm livin just to die without any feelings
So I wait here for my Maker till it's time to go

Wit this dime I know
Wit all of her girls and all of my mens
Waitin for the world to end"
