but I'm tellin my story.. My relationship, with my folks is give and
take And I done took so much, now gimme my glory To have a choice to be
who you wants to be It's left uppa to me, and my momma n'em told me (yes she

skyyyyy [singers in background over interlude] Shake that load off, shake
that load off (16X) [unknown singer] Folk in your face, you're a
superstar Niggaz hang around cause of who you are You get a lot of love
cause of what you got Say they happy for you but they really not Sell
alot a' records and you roll a Benz Fall up in the spot now you losin
friends All ya wanna do is give the world ya heart Record label tryin to
make you compromise ya art You make a million dollars, make a million
mo' First class broads treat ya like a nigga po You wanna say "Wait!" but
you're scared to ask Ya world starts spinnin and it's movin fast Ya try
to stay sane that's the price of fame Spending your life trying to numb the
pain Ya shake that load off and sing ya song Liberate the minds, then you
go on home.. [Big Rube] I must admit, they planted a lot of things in
the brains and the veins of my strain Makes it hard to refrain, from the
host of cocaine From them whores, from the flame From a post in the
game Makes it hard to maintain focus Then from the glock rounds and
lockdowns and burials The seeds that sow, get devoured by the same
locusts Cause it's a hard row to hoe if your ass don't move, and the rain
don't fall And the ground is dry But the roots are strong, so some
survive To your surprise, no one voived their cries You got more juice
than Zeus Slangin lightnin tryin to frighten Plains dwellers, of the
Serengeti But get beheaded when you falsely dreaded Melanin silicon and
collagen injected Dissectin my pride, fool I don't wanna get it
started We be the lionhearted, without a fantasy It's like that red
sprite, you can't imagine it unless you lookin at the canvas of life and
not through the peephole of mortality Single minded mentality Gettin over
on loopholes Gettin paid two-fold on technicalities Clickin your heels,
scared to bust how you feel Pack the steel Pickin cotton from the killin
fields with no toto I don't we in Kansas no mo' though Midwest or Dirty
South Clean dressed or dirty mouth Whether robbin preachers or killin
Poor Righteous Teachers You a scared demon Shouldn't be allowed to spread
semen And your cowardly lies never defyin the jackals of babble Runnin
with they pack, tail between your legs Though the man on your head say the
story As you downplay your glory Cacklin, helpin the shacklin of your
brethern happen Just by rappin.. LIBERATOR.. |
