I know how it feel to wake up fucked up

pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell

people look at you like yous the user

selling drugs to all the losers, mad buddha abuser

but they don't know about the stressed filled days

baby on the way, mad bills to pay

that's why you drink tanqueray, so you can reminisce

and wish you wasn't living so devilish..

-Biggie..
 
"The old timers say we're living in the final days

Gun smoke young folks living any kind of way"

-Mos

"And why do haters separate us like we siamese?

Technology turning the planet into zombies

Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry"

-Thought

"Everybody checking for the new award nominees

Wars and atrocities, look at all the poverty"

I don't like Bank$ but

"Live long that's the message, right?/

But the Hood over 21, you started your second life/

Life is more than a neck of ice a full deck of price/

But it sure damn looks nice."
 
The ballot or the bullet some freedom or some bullshit. Will we ever do it big or keep settling for little shit. We brag on having bread but none of us are bakers. We all talk about having Greens but none us are acres . If none us own acres and none of us grow wheat how we gonna feed our people when our people need to eat. So it seems our people starve for a lack of understanding cuz all we seem to give them is some balling and some dancing and some talk about ours cars and imaginary mansions.

We should be indicted for bullshit we inciting. Hand the children death and pretend like its exciting. We are advertisements for agony and pain. We exploit the youth we tell them to join a gang. We tell them dope stories introduce them to the game. Just like Oliver north introduced us to cocaine. In the 80's when the bricks came on military planes.

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that.
 
Never use a gat more than twice if you don't clean it/

and never say fuck something if you don't mean it/

And when it comes to life, the route you've been using thus far aint working right?

Praise God it's hard to stay spiritual

How they got these niggas on the TV selling miracles

You mean to tell me everything gon be fine

If I call your hotline and pay 29.95, shit

Well damn why didn't you say so

Take this check and tell God to multiply all my pesos

Don't know about 'Grown Man Bars', but this is definitely something I can coincide with:


They say-

it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark

in the eyes of the youth

there are question marks

like freedom

freedom for the mind and soul,

we don't see them

see them for their worth at all,

that’s why we lead em

lead em to these wars

and what is it we feed em?

feed em our impurities

and who it is we treat em

treat em like the enemy

humanity will need em

need em like the blood we spill

and we're freedom

freedom for the hearts we fill

we mislead em

they hunger for the love we give

but we cheat em

the guys beat him and all he wants

is his freedom,

so they defeat him,

whatever spirit he’s got

"beat him"

and they teach him

the rest of the world don’t need him

and he believes

in the disease that he’s heathen

Put up your fists if all you want is freedom

Put up your fists if all you want is -

K'NAAN
 
CYNE - Arrow of God


2nd verse, but mostly the entire song:

Do you believe in him? Is he alive and well?

Heaven and hell debated as my mind dwelled

Into a place numb, from which I came from

Return the innocence, now we can play dumb

See I ain't like y'all (why?) I don't read much

Biblical words ain't shit, fuck Jesus

I just live now, perhaps regret later

Don't call me atheist, I do believe that God's greater

But is it in you, or is it in me

Or maybe just he, defines celebrity

It's sorta like telepathy the way God move me

Wit hands on my soul, I'm bold but not unruly

I sacrifice life an', pay the right price to

Live free now, God let me be now

It's a cold world, some people need heat

Just give me space and a beat and I'll find retreat

Say, it's a cold world, and people need heat

But give me space and a beat and I'll find retreat

Believe in the after life, there ain't nothin wrong wit that

Cuz that we exist is fact, and fact which is truth that lack

Lies, live life, life life

Say life is a beautiful thing, or maybe pain is the feel we bring

Just live life

Selling drugs doesn't equate to "grown man shit".

Well according the OP, jono was referring to daily struggles as well, hence the reason why I cited Everyday Struggles by Biggie..

See I was -- born in sewage, born to make bomb music

Flow tight like I was born Jewish

Used the streets as a conduit - I kept arms

38 longs inside my mom's Buick

At any given moment Shawn could lose it, be on the news

Iron cuffs - arms through it; or stuffed with embalmin fluid

Shit, I'm goin through it - mom dukes too

Tears streamin down her pretty face, she got her palms to it

My life is gettin too wild

I need to bring some sort kinda calm to it

Bout to lose it; voices screamin "Don't do it!"

It's like '93, '94, bout the year

that Big and Mag dropped; and "Illmatic" rocked

outta every rag drop, and the West had it locked

Everybody doin 'em, I'm still scratchin on the block

like "Damn; I'ma be a failure"

Surrounded by thugs, drugs, and drug - paraphenalia

Cops courts, and their thoughts is to derail us

Three time felons in shorts with jealous thoughts

Tryin figure where your mail is, guesstimate the weight you sellin

So they can send shots straight to your melon; wait!

It gets worse, baby momma water burst

Baby came out stillborn, still I gotta move on

Though my heart still torn, life gone from her womb

Don't worry, if it was meant to be, it'll be -- soon

Second oldest born, from Michelle Brown my mother

Hell bound, grew with two sisters and one brother

Pop wasn't around, so many stories that's another

I'm thinkin damn; how my older sister gon' make me tougher

When steel sharpens steel, I'ma keep it real

I'm tired of tryin to hide my pain behind the syrups and pills

Dead to the world, stretched out like a corpse for real

Y'all niggaz thinkin what y'all readin in The Source is real

What my life like, you lookin at the source, it's real

What your life like? Mine dog, of course it's real

Passin judgment, you niggaz second-guessin Beans

Cause you don't eat swine don't make you Amin

Dog you know a couple suras, out the Qur'an

I guess you all on your din and I ain't on mine

Stop that Akki, 'fore I send shots though your body

Make 'em feel feel hell on earth before Allah drop thee

I feel the line's drawn here, nuttin more can stop me

Till them feds pick me up, or them boys pop me

There's only three things that make Mac not act like Beans

Amatullah Tisha, Po Aldin, Samir Amin

My seeds dog, gotta teach 'em that before I leave dog

Shit I know that I'ma see 'em when I leave dog

I come back in the afterlife

Like fuck it I done touched hell twice; what's the meanin?
