49% is evil 49% is good That 1% is neutral, that, "you know you should" I command respect unto self Hearken struggles with grace We're all one in the same How cliché Still they try to sell it different But more alike than different, every single way Blessed with strength of faith My confidence helped pave the way A higher aim can make you great We all want and fear the same That's how we all relate Made it down to Texas Reckless in the eyes of relatives Hexed with what it cost the kid Half a year Verdicts made NYC the place to be Headed up town with G's down the drain Flushing, Queens Where the prince laid A young stunner Up-and-comer It's been seen Trying to make it seen again This time more than just in my dreams I rise like sun See stars in scenes of horror I see the Sun in scenes of aha! I'm on par to take this rap shit far Married to the game Jealous is her highness So no time to cop a dame I give my life sake for Hip-Hop to reign across all states one day I'm her messenger Not to mention wisdoms tell me all I need is just one queen Solo-trekking She be the backbone to the King I be that chairman of the scene next to Kapow I be the fly fella on the poster Universal the holster And when I lay to rest The way they celebrate my death Will judge the value of all I left All I want for self is Truth This poetry is power A gift of rarity I let the past be the past I look past miseries Not everybody hates Some want to see you do your thing In need of console was my soul Having seen the world as being cold Thoughts of me against the world That was me on the come up Scared that my dreams wouldn't turn up Torn apart by my own fears of time slipping But the hand of God blessed me With the gift to reap riches with the talent I was given So I place a bet that I'll reap the wealth Solomon beget When he held with faith as he faced the tests God bestowed him with So whether now or later I'm sure I'll reap paper but cautious to not lose flavor Cause that's a hefty wager when talking who can do it better Was told to leave the `ville and head to: "Make it here, you can make it anywhere!" Make it here, you can make it anywhere! Back against the wall An underdog Word to God An under-card That's when I ball hard with the most heart Still attaining for a mil Easily attained with some courage and a will Surely, I'll bring it back to the `ville And let them know that it's real Surely I'll bring it back to the `ville And let them know that it's real that it's real Unbelieving the scheming impeding my dreaming I'm hearing whispers from those Who once loved me unconditional Speak of my existence as being non-existent Knowing time evaporates and moods change I'm wishing I could go back to my younger days No longer hoping I'm believing Speaking shit into existence cause believing is my seeing And the reason: one life to live Potent with conviction Too potent to let it slip into oblivion Scorning those I see as foreigners Reasons for the friction I don't know whether to give it up or say, 'word' Vulnerability is weakness in this vulture culture Where soft and sweet too soon could lead you to the farewell tune How did I get here? Who made me? I parachute the mind Think, ponder: How? What? And why? This is real life Skip the fake Claim ya stake Guard your plate Aim to overtake When Biggie said he was "Ready To Die" they trigger-aimed When Pac was crucified 7-days told the same Sacrifices of the rubrics Constituted through the music Granted glory through poetic movements Both God's pupils RIP, RIP, RIP
