Million man march '95, my pops drove his jeep to DC
Tried to join the ride he told me "nah but said if need be
If shit should transpire and my time should lie beneath me
Then you're here to survive and take the drive if this should repeat."
I knew the science of it and the order it could come with
Ronny Jordan in the speakers, semi-auto in the cupboard
Front cover back cover Final Calls in abundance
Multi-tasking on a crate, corner store, easy does it
Does it register as seeing Q and Bishop at the register?
Weighing love and hate but what they take could forever them
Forever could be shorter than you thought of so to measure us
As anything except for what we made doesn't measure up
And as I'm home watching a million counted as lesser
Thinking "represent" like Nas tech in the dresser
And a youngin' got on stage with a blowout and a lecture
And the way he took the lane, shit could blow out a compressor
The same way compressors kept my neighborhood together
While tearing yours apart while they target a successor
Pouring Henny Holy water, Jesus piece guilty pleasure
40 days, 40 nights, 40 bands get you together
Talking 40 inch cables with God's son at the end of it
Like we in Revelations and par grade your intentions and
All of the above is how attention get to sidetrack
But double mine like Noah on the ride back
Word to my confidants giving out confidence
Dress up the ambiance just how we comprehend
I get involved with that, it's like I was called for it
I'm built for all of that but I'm out the store with it
Word to my confidants giving out confidence
Dress up the ambiance just how we comprehend
I get involved with that, it's like I was called for it
I'm built for all of that but I'm out the store with it
He was up there bodying, heading up the movement
Had to be my same age, could've been a blueprint
Worrying 'bout a recipe when I was already on that trajectory
But I was busy "Liquid Swords" looping
The floor seats where the stoop is
Throw a jersey on and hit a corner like the coupe did, inspiration is lucid
Shine baby shine but it came in translucent
This shit'll show you parts but the other side is a loose end
And tying that together was all in my contributions
If we one in the same then we covered the same
Covet it and pray we make it double and pray they don't court date us
My tag became Clinton and Washington's wallpaper
Bet it still is, from where you play the role that you got
They sell an eighth, hit their roof and stare out over their block
Ambition will be the kick in when you over a pot
Or it can be what takes the lead on if you're quoted or not
And it's like, why shoot the breeze about it when you can be about it?
My degrees are routed toward the AP attendees
Visualizing a corner from a 10 speed
With X marking the spot twice like it was 10 deep
As quick as a corner dies is as quick as it gets immortalized
And watching from the bench leave you mortified
Word to every circle in my Eastbay catalog
I had the same lane but I had corner ties
