what if I learned to work your beat
fuck with you in the ways that you fuck with me
& underline all your downfalls for ya
catch you fuckin up and bring the pound down on ya
infect your neighbbourhood with this drug called 'hate'
issue out your income and control y'all fate
provide you motherfckers with the shit that looks cool
& price it out of range to keep your ass out of school
you don't work you don't eat you don't eat you don't sleep
& then I got your ass up on these motherfuckin streets
poisoning your own breed, turning you from Jesus
get you out your faith and hit your ass with diseases
and now you can't reproduce, there goes your children
don't worry about you dying slow I'm a get to killin
and shoot up your motherfuckin dreams from the jump
and hold you in the penitentiary like a punk
where you can't do shit unless a motherfcker tell ya
you ain't a motherfuckin man, nigga, you a failure
you wonder why I hate ya and I paint this picture?
cause the government is fcked up and I ain't that nigga
so you can point the finger at the motherfuckin press
cause they be feeding me with all the shit that I address
it ain't my motherfuckin fault niggas ain't learnin
we in too deep and ain't no returnin..
