Ayo X man, I found that book you was asking about,
Word
Word nigga, hold up, let me skim through it right quick
Do your thing kid -
Alright, listen, yo - ok, look -
Page 13
Murder on the street, population wearin' thin - contimplatin' every sin
Lots of hateful shit - Cops laying lil kids where the operating table is
His heart caught the bullet to save his ribs so we could barbeque
Celebrate that he's alive even when it's far from true -
- Sorry dude, we don't need a god to martyr you;
"Aye son, we need some A1!"
Delayed tongues don't taste the hate that we hide our face from
Wipe the blood from our face up and keep eating till our waist bust
The government licks the plate clean - any crum we may leave
Your nothing but an antrey from the soft age of eighteen
Fuck, that's wack - scratch that
What you got fam?
"Ha!, shit fam, ok, look"
Page 7
From the age of arrogant teach'n, you dare to be decent
Streets of gold within your grasp - who cares if you reach it?
It's all fair games, faith in the lord - share what we keep bitch
Why look to the book of redemption? who's there whom can preach it?
- we're just lower extremities compared to paraplegics;
"Yo shit, motor and sensory functions"
Structured and drifted corruption - we don't exist to the public
Let's stick to the subject - unable to stay pissed if we wanted
Hell every pause that we got - fuck it, the claws were attached
Came tales to turn and run - most were mauled from the facts
That's all I wrote that day - how bout you bro?
I got a little somethin' somethin'
Page 29
Trina was just a trick, always reaching for dick - tryna squeeze out a cent
She didn't like it but she needed the rent cause were all feinds for a check
A slow, screeching decent into the gutter of a single mothers evil extent
Frontin' like she never felt a degree of regret or didn't even need our respect
Needless to say, she was a vet -
no, wait, okay here we go
yo

The bottom of the barrel, a haunted little stairwell - a bog of heroin smell
Spoons and ballons form the terrace of hell where the few deralicts dwell
A person is just a shell after his character melts, the swelling of veins
Watch them rupture upward and become the puppets terrible strings
Naw, X why you let me write this lame ass shit
Let me hear some of that old school shit
I gotchu famo, check it..
Page 47
The flushed up couches, pretty pussies tickled and blushed they blouses
Rugged houses stashed with the same shit that we stuff our ounces
Drunk with mouses, spilling the licks - cats always pluck the pounces
Run they mouths - loving to ball but lucky to fucking bounce it
"Wrong turns lead you to me - I'm on another route bitch"
Page 11
Simple mind games, when nines rang - sick with a blind rage
Ya words nothing, but we back ours - without the time change
Define flame, style so in vein, where the syringe meets
Too treaty while the silencer we use is to extend peace
Bruh get on that B-Boy shit..
Is they ready for it, check it..

Kool Herc shit, my word script is unattainable like fools gold is
"This nigga got no sense." Oh shit! I don't, how did you notice?
No motive, I kill it just to watch it die with two monster eyes
Hop in a car, roll over top your spine and say I was just stopping by
I'm bout to jump, I hope the knot is tight - I don't wanna repeat myself
Evil? I don't even have feelings to feel evil without a needles help
Is this how the demons felt when they were all thrown in the pit
Who knows. All I know is if I'm going in it I'm fuckin' throwing a fit
The villagers torches are lit - chasing me through the forest again
I don't torture the men, I swallow them whole then torture their kids
So much more than just sick, a horror flick in white porcelain skin
The swordsmen of pens - come to cut your fuckin' torso in tens
X man, take this mother fucker home
Real shit, we home..

I'm from the age where many lives, abrupt n' hazy
I'd rather get a prick from the rose then pluck a daisy
Maybe it's nothing...maybe..it ain't enough to change me
Weigh'n down on my heart the murder records what amaze me
So these facts dwell......while living off crack sales
Not love'n our baby mommas, corrupt'n our black males
It's something I ask still, no wonder I'm that real
Point'n fingers at nations they claim'n that rap killed
Our generation but listen wise its statistical
Don't let it get to you these many lies they gon' spit ot you
...........Because the devil is in each indivdual
How girls turn to mothers and these boys turn to criminals
These seasons are rare but please believe when i'm there
I'll just stick to myself not give reasons to stare
Anything not worth the wait I don't easily care
With this pen I jot thoughts down neatly and clear
