[Chali 2na]
|
Never think just for
|
Shits and giggles
|
Do we spit sylable riddles
|
For bits and kibbles
|
So chics can wiggles and shake
|
Cause this image is fake
|
|
[Akil]
|
I'm tryin hard to relate
|
In a place filled with so much hate
|
|
[Soup]
|
Some brothers debate
|
Some love or some hate
|
Whatever the case
|
Its all about the choices you make
|
That's the reason your balloon'll deflate
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
But to relate
|
We tryin' to take rap back to its primitive state, wait
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
No overnight success or runnin' with vets
|
Just pure unadulterated work progress
|
I'm willin' to bet the farm
|
You'd give your right arm
|
For a piece of the pie
|
Ask yourself, Why?
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
[All]
|
If you only knew
|
The trials and tribulations we been through
|
But if you only knew
|
We're real people homey, just like you
|
We humble, but don't mistake us for some corny ass crew
|
What we do, is try to give you what you ain't used to
|
[Marc 7]
|
Soul music, somethin' we can all relate to
|
|
[Akil]
|
Yo yo, I ams what I am and thats all I can be
|
Uh, no more no less what you're seein' is me
|
Akil the emcee dubbed the U-I-S-C, uh
|
Wise, intelligent, God did bless me
|
|
[Soup]
|
Yes we, rock up off the S-B freshly
|
Especially dangerous rough and deadly
|
|
[All]
|
The pimp positioner, tip the Richter...Scale
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Alone we sink together we sail and prevail
|
The rum raisin comin through guns blazin'
|
Some of you duns runnin' ones with none savin'
|
Complainin', me and my clan are unscathen
|
From the soul comes somethin' amazin'
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[talking in background]
|
|
[Akil]
|
Yo, how many times I got to hear
|
Some fanatic in my ear
|
Tellin' me I got to keep it real
|
When they ain't payin' my bills
|
Or feedin' my kids, judgin' me on how I live
|
If my crib in the hood or if its up in the hills?
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
Have you forgetten who you are?
|
Oh, you think yo a star
|
Why you frontin'? (You ain't nothin')
|
You went from nothin' to somethin'
|
But somethin' means nothin' if ya people still wantin'
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
And ya got money and givin' them nothin'
|
|
[All]
|
Flossin' and frontin'
|
|
[Soup]
|
Ya game of sharades
|
The way you behave
|
The image you save
|
Yeah brother thats one big parade
|
I'm sick of your ways
|
I'm sittin here spittin a phrase
|
Next time they smile and they wave
|
They probably be with a gaze
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
Soul..soul..soul..soul..soul
|
