There's black kids dying in your face But you worried 'bout some niggas that be dancing on the train You got a bag of Special K but, they been baggin' Special K The whole uptown got died in a day And I was frightened but I stayed It's too many niggas that be braggin' bout the cake It don't even matter 'bout what happens at the lake Walking up a mountain full of snakes Done showing love, I been drowning in haze For some pounds we surrounded by my mates, lay Lounging at the gates, pray Say I hope the ones who wish death upon me Reach the ground and decay I just spit into the mic and watch the sound go astray And the boundless are playin' I worked too hard for these niggas to amount to the same If they reach my goals, then I'm drowning in shame When you discover Exploring power The world as we know it But you had to go and blow it When you discover Exploring power The world as we know it But you had to go and blow it Graduation, I'll be speaking for my class We did a lot we didn't think that we could pass Had to stay late and read H by the Ave Face of fatigue and the playful are sad J look at me the same way as my dad Greatness could be a thing of the past So why the fuck we running from my past? I was gunnin' for the first, she was running for the last I guess it means something to us all I need this, I need that But I don't need nothin', if it's coming from my moms Need to get it on my lone Mommy out there stressing on her own She told me I ain't press up with the tone I was raised in the village, thinking I could never be alone That was dumb of me I know Pick my feet up out the puddle when I grow New York cold, with the bubble in the snow Never in a huddle with my foes Never mix the hustle with the boast Boofy hit a lick and now his buckle lookin' gold Goofy with the strips, tryna 'cause trouble with my bros Get strong from the mother to your toes When you discover Exploring power The world as we know it But you had to go and blow it
