Ever Notice

Ever notice all the little changes happening in front of your eyes The sun on earth's imbalance with the sun above in the sky New York summers feel like winter till the end of July Notice how hard it is for black man to drive Patriot acts made it easy for the man to attack On the flip side its harder for a nigga to fly, that was already hard Ain't even safe for sitting inside of the crib It's easier dying whimpering crying but we trying to live Ever notice the simplicity in getting a bid Notice that parents now or days are just as young as the kids Notice being blacks enough to get a gun to your ribs We get funny with money cause we got nothing to give Question, what does cash have in common with credit Answer niggas have neither and we trying to get it Cause anytime we get a little we be trying to spend it Whoever knew pockets had cavities go find me a dentist Said I been a few places seen a few things And the one thing I noticed is some things never changed Whether you're rich or poor if you're black they don't like you But I've also noticed that everything goes in a cycle Fuck It, ever notice how you can't say cracker on air But as long as you saying nigga crackers really don't care Use a caucasian racial slur and bet they won't wanna hear it Cause niggas the only slur considered a term of endearment Ever notice other mother fuckers say it around us Watch em, tryna be down tryna make themselves sound tough Notice we trend set and everybody wan be down Crackers been stealing for 400 hundred years but even more that we're free now Ever noticed that we're still poor That's why when niggas kill niggas nobody care if we kill more Ever notice most the songs that make billboard, are WACK So when I listen I'm real bored for real y'all Notice necessities have changed from food, clothing and shelter To fast food, name brand clothes, cars and celluars We only text and email but I miss the detail Of a written letter sealed with a kiss from your female Said I been a few places seen a few things And the one thing I noticed is some things never changed Whether you're rich or poor if you're black they don't like you But I've also noticed that everything goes in a cycle Have you ever gone out of town, took a walk around Another hood and notice hope in the lost in found Never have try it once walk a three block radius I guarantee you're gonna see the same ole crazy shit One block two liquor stores three corner stores A Chinese restaurant a barber shop and a hair salon Cracks in the sidewalk, crack vials in between the cracks in the sidewalk Black child's, three or four One parent 9 times out of 10 a mommy Black clouds in the sky shouts from the mommy Three numbers short of striking rich from the lottery Drunk niggas prostitutes caking off pornography Amongst all of that another thing that really bothers me's The fact that one's likely to run into some sort of pharmacy CVS, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, Walgreen's All equals genocide the poor people's enemy Ever notice marijuana's still illegal But cigarettes the real smoke stick killing people Notice the way the government's watching what we do So when I vote it's only for the less of two evils Notice how every bodies flowing for props Got little ole innocent me wanting to load up the glock And cock back and squeeze on these wanna be emcees Who swear that they hot, but they not because I notice you're not And I notice a lot
