[Verse 1]
My esteemed standards on clean canvas
Calm text of complex flavors, they scream blandness
I'm a visit to Oz for heartless brothas
We from the fall leaves all the darker colors
Young and savage, tons of baggage marked the luggage
We know the status of lavish starts with courage
We take risks, stepping in cold field
A makeshift weapon and no shield
No trepidation in summation, I speak the genesis
The revelation: most won't reap the benefits
Ka's concerned for the tides to turn
Put down the shotty, ain't gotta die to earn
There's safer avenues for cake to travel to
Mix a brisk gift, this gab is true
Through my best hood sketch provide the shades
This rap is what happens when the vibrance fades
My first pen stroke thinking curse kinfolk
And all disturbed words my men spoke
Just wishing for some fixings, been broke
Where survivals on a spiral, I spin hope
I spin hope
[Hook]
I deplore what I draw is not animated
I stand on that land where man is hated
Outside where the scramblers waited
And waited
And waited
And weighed it
[Verse 2]
Where I fasten the strip, known as hard goon
Blast this in the whip my only " cartune"
Since opened, my eyes could see the warring
Full view would pull due, no advisory or warning
My block popped, was general admission
Pound a day, 'round the way stay center of addiction
You saw the ones wired, copping slight highs
From all the guns suppliers they was dropping like flies
It's madness, the cycle of revenge is sadness
Had to grab your own rifle, no friends with badges
Won't live if you don't forgive or fall back
Get rocked, keep hopping out the crib in all black
To settle scores in peddling wars a losing game
Wanna rule with your best tool, use your brain
(Use your brain)
My flip-book is a strict look
At the shaky grounds where no kids shook
(No kids shook)
I cite a little grief at night, now a big rook
(A big rook)
[Hook]
I spin hope
