X the Unknown Variable - The First Article lyrics

[Verse 1: X the Unknown Variable] I'm not living the life that I live just to end up with Five kids and wives who fight for first five dibs With five ribs taken from me, I'm lopsided I'd never reverse time and stop the jobs I did The props I give, it's not earned easily Which is why you only see a few smoke weed with me Just to be with me through the hardest of times I feel honored whenever they flow freely over beats with me Whether it's feasibly or beastly It's caught on tape, Mephistopheles is reaching up beneath me My past wants to eat me, go ahead try it There has yet to be a path before me that defeats me I'd never lay a fist on my b**h, I love my animals Which is why I stay up to date with Karma Chronicles Every word I write absorbs some of my particles Consider this a comic of my life, The First Article [Hook: DJ Tripz] [Verse 2: X the Unknown Variable] This is for my homies, Dead End Los Angeles This is not code, no need to unscramble this I'm not speaking masonry, tongues, or Hieroglyphics We smashed everyone, and showed them what a clique is We carried a hit list from middle school It lasted until little fools started to belittle our crew Seven years and running, like outlaws We out-gloss every other faction, we've done this without laws No lames trying to bu*t into the business Once we f** you up, you begin to sh** piss We hit pits with full force, Enlist kids with ill starts We kiss chicks with steel hearts, The ones willing to heal hearts... Life seems to change, lies seem to chain Rivals together, guilty voices always bind the deranged I'm blind and estranged from my family So the love for my homies' something that I always had in me...
