 My tragedy’s different
My life’s deep, listen:
Gotta bail, I’m limpin’
Walked outta hell’s kitchen
Why bother cherishin’
My past is everything wrong and my arrogance
Walk down the stairs pissin’
Cop us ‘cuz they’re bitchin’
Life isn’t fair, singin’
Blues and my rap drippin’
Ooze out the blood
Sinkin’ deep down to earth
Thinking leave out a nerp chicken
I should run, forfeit and everything I know, listen:
I was
The misdirected
I was
The least expected
Hop on
And get rejected
Walk on
And feel neglected
I feel
Like I’m the message
Unheard
But I’m the message
I’m the last prolific remaining offer from the gutter
Shot
Was my girlfriend
When
We was younger
Her
I was scarred, yo
Bullets
I survived though
Death
It came easy
Truth
The game needs me
Never let them see me down, smile while I’m bleeding
(Chorus)
Smile
When you’re struggilin’
Smile
When you’re in jail
Smile
When you’re dead broke
Smile
And the rent’s due
Smile
You ain’t got friends now
Smile
And no one knows you
Never let them see you down, smile while you’re bleeding
Smile
When he leaves you
Smile
‘Cause girl, he needs you
Smile
Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do
Smile
Despite the war
Smile
Despite the pain, yo
Never let them see you down, smile while you’re bleeding
To my man Kareem in prison
I can’t speak your name
It hurt me that you never listened
It can’t be the same
I had to grow my intuition
Had me deep in pain
‘Cause I knew my options were either broke or the prison chains
I can’t do it
I can’t see it, look
Damnit, I can’t blow it
I got a judge tellin’ me my life’s key
They will throw it
Nuh-uh, no sir
I plan to have a chauffeur
It seems to me this chopping crack is really going nowhere
Therefore
I’m resurrected
They call me
The poor injection
I infect you with the real
The Dusty-feet-philosahectagos
I spit, so sick
I skid out
I’m fallin’
I’m shit outta luck and I’m trapped but I’ll get out
Can you help me?
I’m goin’ crazy
My mom plays tricks and I beat on the floor like bush wick
My fists, bloody and blistered
A pair like I’m ballistic
I just stare at the red and smile while I’m bleeding
(Chorus)
There are a few things you gotta take into account
I’m not an entertainer, I’ve never been a clown
I was born where the mothers give birth while they frown
I would walk with the kids that would “bbbrrraaaa-” sound
Never really thought I’d make it to fourteen
And anybody wanted to fight, I was most keen
Plus I had a little temper, it was often foreseen
You say something ‘bout my momma, I’d shoot you dead out clean
But you gotta keep in mind that I grew up Mogadishu
The only law was gun law
And we don’t walk with a pistol
You get laughed at for being so insensitive to the environment
‘Cause how will you be heard when those big boys are firin’?
War is no place for a child
Especially if he’s rollin’ with an AK and a smile
He had witnesses on mother, bloody in a towel
But please, please, please, please
Never let them see you down, smile while you’re bleeding
(Chorus x 2)
