life on the beach road
Far north, south west, down south east coast

I dunno but it feels so easy, coastal kids who just sing in the sea breeze
Who

better just watch for us
I don't want to hear that you're sorry to me
After you tore up, and started a war up in the black community
It's out

is
Where Rick Ross stepped in ross models
Himself as a paternalistic mogul
A self made empire-builder in
The tradition of Uncle
Luke or Birdman he

a bedroom community
Gone to sleep down in the Fraser Valley, oh

And does that say more about me
Than it does about this commuter town
Does that say more

you'll see them
Each walking in the footsteps of the other
Their hunters hunt
Their builders build
Their workers work
And their queen makes babies
So it is

builders of communities
We are trading in commodities
You are privileged to be employees
Break your backs and knees
Tear down all the houses
Rip up all

to me, 
No gun, no crack, or whore could of comin' in our community
If it was up to me,
You couldn't have no war between Tupac and B.I.G
If it was up

body's up when the sun's up too
As my spirit to comes to
I look around and I wonder what's new
Swim around in the coastal cypress
Crystal by the crown,

Tonight might loosen
The nuts holding together
Steel thoughts
Of full grown men.
Giants of the boardwalk,
Pillars of the community.
Sailors without

sanctuaries 
Straws in turtles on beaches of coastal communities

I note as I stroll further along the sand
The water level has drowned out what once was land

nakedness 
But its skin was too soft to bare lights.
And its ink was dry
As a capsized boat washed upon the coastal sand
As the sailor watched his candle

sit next to me...

Its the attack of the real spitters. Separating real men from real niggas
Real conscious muthafuckas from real killas
Real community

now filled with builders' trucks
Replacing old with new, making profit for the few 

I'm sitting on Arthur's Seat, looking down at the lights of Leith

power
people stop being polite and speak
families become communities
i have a dream again
that we'll still fight for peace
i have
a dream again
that chaos

enough, uhhhhhhh

Like WTF, FOUR hundred years in the same field, literally, is an incredible resume builder.

It is Katrina answering the government’s

black leader in America
I ain't trying to b a black leader (black leader)
To get bought by corporations and mislead the
Community, those you swore you

drivers,
Athletes from the richest communities,
Impunity, to the only innocent ones,
That's the children

A billion builders
Envision a village of pilgrims

Come again, think you've been had
Think of England and lay back
If you want the borders back
And disarm an attack
Picker, builder, driver, doctor
