Middle finger to 2013, you made us suffer
|
Still can¡¯t believe you murdered my little brother
|
Pain in the voice and eyes of our mothers
|
Fatherless son but his uncle gon make him suffer
|
Tried to kick us while we down, took him from us
|
But you can¡¯t keep us down, he¡¯s still above us
|
Jail ain¡¯t that bad, it¡¯s something that been full
|
If they tryin to leave you with nothing to live for
|
Everybody¡¯s so full of hate, what¡¯s this for?
|
I smoked with Sun Tzu, he told me it¡¯s war
|
A man who goes to bed with a book never goes to bed alone
|
Good literature, signing off, my signature
|
|
Pa-poose, Pa-poose
