Hoodie on but the windows down
Legends of the fall, we just picking up the tempo now
Smelling blood as the year comes to a close
Run up on goals
Throw any fear that’s based on limits out
Any doubt
Has to be dismissed cause life is too short
Want to shout any time a cop case makes it to court
My life’s at risk if I’m at the club or on the couch
At the store or in my house
All of the U.S. can vouch
Low justice if there’s makeup on and tears flow
No justice if there’s a badge and claim of fear for
Life. Shooter’s dark and they’re terrorist or hoodlum
Shooter’s melanin deficient, they were just a good one
Who’s misguided.
His mind is
Unhealthy
If from wealthy
Stock. Focus is on helping
Avoid punishment cause that would damage their futures
What about the girls they rape
Or the victims they shoot up
Lil dark homies doing bids way too long
For dime bags or a couple strikes they got screwed on
Come up in environments where they dodge bullets, true that
But PTSD’s just a thought for lighter skinned hughes when
Rehabilitation gets discussed
I don’t think that we actually say these things enough
But then it gets brought up and people claim that it’s too much
So I’m just trying to win and get this paper, that’s a must
On my own terms cause I guess safety ain’t for us
Not when deputy profiles me right after I’ve met with his boss
Not when me walking down the street in KC gets windows locked
Whether in blazer and button down or in sweats when I walk
Hustle harder cause I’ll just get disrespect if I’m dropped
Find a way to make me look like I’m evil
Point out THC when THC is legal
6f can profit from it. They can let that tree grow
But don’t let it be in your system if you’re melanin is more than zero
And you get blasted while you’re still strapped into your seatbelt
These are things that should never happen to free folk
We got enough trying to stem violence from our own people
Which is something that naysayers are bringing up
Anytime it looks like all of the above could be discussed
But considering the crime is usually race to race
You do you in that regard. That topic, you should leave to us
And for my peers making strides in communities
Bringing change beautifully
I salute you. Keep it up
Sometimes I fear that we might be the only people who believe in us
Man
This shouldn’t happen to free people

I woke up with a stroke of luck exploding in my chest
Nervous, full of purpose left my home to go invest
In my stage persona hoping folks will come to spec
Turning down the news cause truths a joke to those invested
Added myself to lists of benevolent defectors
Sick of oligarchy could be hella insurrections
No estate is real and our development's arrested
Theyre like Bluth except they ensure families are separate
What can you do except prepare for mass divestment
And hustle so your bread is still collected
Another teenage head was just injected
With metal slug from accidental exit
Of bullet chamber spread from would be thespian
And my home is the only place where it happens
Money money money to the manufacturers
Shareholder profits over med cabinets
Profit margins rise while we fill caskets
When the bullets started flying
We started dying
You’re steady buying
Worried bout your clients
Yeah
But we’re seeing Zion
I don’t give a fuck about your bottom line
Killing us should really be a fucking crime
Cause we’re dying out here too soon
Dying out here to soon
Cause we’re dying out here
Do I matter if my impact has limited reach
Does a teacher change the world with students when they teach?
Pastors stack investments with the sermons they can preach
Other pastors argue that this is biblical breach
Faith politicking must have a melanin dependency
Cause folks will call it godly when it has moral deficiency
Site the voice of God from hedonism they're dismissing these
Pleas for civility
Shouldn't be resisting, b
Shouldn't even be out on the street for bad positioning
Shouldn't be at home enjoying sweets or even living these
Times are dangerous and I'm threatened by your existence. We
Argue hollow points instead of listening
Narratives are false but have the strength of adamantium
Wealth is only growing if you're handing it
Down. Pass laws to strengthen entry barriers
Clowns. claim you're free market then disparage us
Wow
When the bullets started flying
We started dying
You’re steady buying
Worried bout your clients
Yeah
But we’re seeing Zion
I don’t give a fuck about your bottom line
Killing us should really be a fucking crime
Cause we’re dying out here too soon
Dying out here to soon
Cause we’re dying out here

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran.
