Sick

Sick of seeing TV

sick of HIV

 

being the absolute ending of a life to be

 

sick of posing ass cats
with their weak ass raps
speading sickness and lies
through their weak ass tracks

 

sick of kids gone wild
women with wild styles
more manly than the men that can't relate to their child

 

sick of seeing no respect
families we can't protect
wic checks

suburbs being the new projects

 

sick of music being the only thing that can soothe me

 

and the drum runner is the one that lies to me.

 

and the program director syncs the lies on repeat
all the video are a fish eyed fantasy

 

my kids wanna see, that's what they want to be
the real ain't even rooted in real reality

 

and that's the shit they're cranking out on BET
and the bullshit that's rocking on your i-p-o-d

 

and ain't nobody listening to folks like me
a peace loving brother rooted in spirituality

 

you'd rather point your finger or your nine at me
cause my rhyme'll blow your highs, end your flights of fancy

 

you'd rather hate the ones that even look like me
even though when I see you - you looking just like me

 

if I cut you 

you'll even start to bleed like me
but because I got it you wanna try to take it from me?

 

you better blink family cause we all gots to see
without each other we ain't gon never come to be

 

but that's okay, you ain't really trying to hear me
cause I impede all the places that you're trying to be

 

cause stacking paper makes you that much better than me
even if your ass is rich and famous, bruh you're still lonely.

 

coming off ships -
shackled by chains

beaten by whips

 

and your chains and whips is all that you aspire to be

 

not knowning that that your stones and oil was stolen from we
and you never put a dime back in the community

 

but then again you don't want to share it with me
but you snap if we don't celebrate your victory.

 

I hope one day you can really really see
that the folks back on the block are not the enemy.

 

and dialouge with you is the true remedy
so all I ask for you to do is just talk to me.

 

I'll even wait my turn, I'll be patient, wait and see...

 

cause all I ask for you to do is talk to me

I'm being patient family, you just wait and see...

 

All I need for you is jut to talk to me.
