…couldn't see no you couldn't feel, wake up from the dream just to find its real, yeah i remember
my mind was full of hate, my heart…
…in our ways, now what's
happened it's worse every day
I've opened up & still you can't see, don't
hear my words you don't understand me…
…to it become so normal cant do without
it, not by choice, you say you do it by habit
too much fighting you know i don't want it. we grew up,
i…

…got that, I said where the yobs at?
Charlie Booth, Charlie Booth bruv (haha)
Oi! Turn the beat up
What's that? Bare talk, keep…
…for anybody running their gob
It's like that, I grew up with white trash
And we live on the other side of the map
Man are dying over scraps…
No roses, no violets, the roads are violent
No disguises, bare-knuckle fighting
Load up the LTZ 90's like my wifey, yo
Too evolved with the rhythm I kill them
Talking about real when Mic's…

…think the shit you do is ahead of their times,-
Make it seem like noone can beat you 'n there aren't any better rare rhymes,-
Make…
…'n everything you say will be repeated,-
Like history,-
Selfish emotions indirectly manipulated by the incentives know as fame 'n…
…they become aware of real problems until i feel like i wanna diss in a rap,-
Then all i want is to get pissed 'n to snap,-
Cause i ain't…

High
Collide reflecting on his glory days
With his Grind Time title T-shirt in a trophy case
And I know he cake, for real, I…
…promo
When his head set over fire like the Witty Smitty logo!
The bars will fuck him up, but I own the toy
The chopper go "tuh-tuh…
…in the chalk
When I toss the four outside like a intentional walk
But change the game
2014, we was thinking he's heat
"Mr. Two Times" 'cause you…

But that's they thang
A lot of us fall victim somehow
But that's that game
Won't try to explain
From books to bricks
Now I see crooks…
…and tricks
Caught up in the mix
Of everyday in every way but the right
I control the substance my people fiend for at night
Lord knows I do wrong…
…the shit I like
Uh puttin forth the effort to make a change
Not doin a lot of talkin bout it what's yo game?
You slippin you can't…

But that's they thang
A lot of us fall victim somehow
But that's that game
Won't try to explain
From books to bricks
Now I look, see crooks…
…and tricks
Caught up in the mix
Of everyday in every way but the right
I control the substance my people fiend for at night
Lord knows I…

Uh puttin forth the effort to make a change

…with an alibi
Runnin' wild in the city, no direction
All we know is get that dough, run up the checks and
Huh, I'm self-made, wasn't made…
…shorty's set, and his shorty's set
This game ain't over, it's more quarters left
I gotta rep my city, do it for the set
I gotta talk…
…know
[Verse 12: Styles P]
Raised knee-deep in the dope game
If I had two guns up then they was both aimed
Saturday mornin', I'm…

In the heart of the jungle walkin' through the fire
You beat the charge if you show up with an alibi
Runnin' wild in the city, no direction
All we know…
…how quick I'll lift the toaster up
Money got me feelin' like you can't control us
Servin', watchin' out for the patrollers
We used to play the game…
…called me up and said
"Unc I'ma need you on the b-side"
So I came through, ah, mic checked, one-two, uh
Gettin' real funky, kinda…

…in private
Maybe that's from all of the charter flights
Make sure whatever you're doing is not in the dark
You know…
…you done forgot? The oven door open
On the stove in the kitchen to heat up the house
'Cause they done cut the heat off…
…of us boycottin' halftime
Some of us standin' up, some of us sittin' down
Reparations will never get back to us
They'll forever just…

…isn't close enough
Cause I'm grinding and posted up, pull over the soul truck
Down to a pause, I poured the rest of my soda cup…
Then I bust a U-turn, cause I'm bout to make sure she know what's up
These boys can be playas, but I'm trying…
…was hard, but I been thankful to God
For every second you was real, when everybody was fraud
You know it's in a nigga nature, to get down…
