Lyrics:
Im tired of this society
telling me who i can and who i cant be
im the rose that arose from concrete
thorns on my side in case them frogs want to eat
Dad told me, just to get what i want
i gotta fight
its hard for me to come off strong
my voice light
lil ass kid, dont know whats wrong or whats right
in my own lil world
i dont know real life
neva seen real love
someone tell me what its like

hip hop taught me rules and regulations
dont mess with them girls that be allergic to latex
the basics
some niggas live just to hate ya
all da nigguhs say they real, man
they the fakes ones
i know im ill, u know it
so i aint gotta state it

my birth wasnt planned nigguh i just popped up
wouldnt be alive if my dad aint slip up
wasnt meant to be
naw, i was meant to be somethin
started to feel ashamed, saw my moms was strugglin
pops aint here
so my mom started buggin
so i prayed to god
god aint do nothin

many times tried to bring my mom and me closer
10 years old when i was younger, i had my gun to my temple
wonderin what would happen put my finger on the trigger
and i squeezed on the holster and end it all over

Would i do her a favor?

No god, nigguh i dont have no savior
im kidding...or am I?
you can see the evil
see the edgar allen poe cold flows from my third eye
thinking wont nobody give a damn if i did die...
i swear to god id give the whole mawwfukking world
just to make a girl smile
i seem happy
check my body language
see the words unspoken im lonely
aint no true gonna fall down before me
only with myself i am warring
no regrets, my resolve
i can hear it calling me
i learned quickly u cant fight with your destiny
when im dead and gone, i hope the world dont forget me
and my fans never let me,
the resurrect me

all i want is happiness
yall muthafukas aint havin it
try to hold me back, now im grabbin at it, snatchin
haters start to smirk when i tell em that im rappin
im dyslexic careful
ill blow your ass sward-back
man i aint slacking
tunnel vision, onward goals
i fear no foes, colossal flows
and im ghost

@OpenSourceSolutions god isnt a person at all, let alone white. he's what ever you want him to be. ( im saying him cuz it sounds degrading)

[ArteeestTV]

@toxicnade thats a good way to think about it. I wish people didn't take religion so serious forreal, nobody is really forcing you to believe anything but i hate those few people who try to force religion down your throat. like i said before it don't matter what you place your faith in just have faith in something. simple shit. the world needs to chill asap yo

[OpenSourceSolutions]

I love it dude, its nice to see a black rapper other than Dead Prez point out that god is white aristocratic mind control, or at least that it doesn't exist

[ArteeestTV]

@OpenSourceSolutions wouldnt say mind control, im more like agnostic, im not gonna lie sometimes it feels like there's some kinda higher power up there guiding me, but other days...not so sure. i mean who am i to say that there isnt a god ya know? when you really think about it, nobody really knows shit, but if you decide not to place your faith in god, just make sure you have faith in something ya feel me? its wateva...

[OpenSourceSolutions]

@ArteeestTV I feel you, and I've got my own beliefs. I just wanted to point out that in my opinion, the white man still has control of the average black mind via christianity. The reason slaves and racism exists/ed was because the bible says that black men are sub-human when compared to Europeans. Liberation can only come when you reject your captor's god

[ArteeestTV]

@OpenSourceSolutions i respect that yo

[BasedGodWhiteBoy]
