[Featuring Mylik Yusef]. This the city of Chicago. The state of confusion. The style I'm using is free. Or at least it would be if my mind was. Peep I'm behind cause. I didn't handle my function while in high school. Although I was cool. The hood I live in ain't that proper. Cause a cop a stop ya. And have you at a hundred and eleventh before you can say not guilty. I'm not filthy. Nor am I rich. Ain't that a bitch. Like life is. Not your wife is. See that your better halve. Do your math. And peep that two halves make a whole. And all I have to hold. Is my self pride. So these streets I strive. Like a Black Panther. Asking can the. situation get much worst. All I do is try to appeal to the masses. As the phrase keep it real passes. The teeth of too many phoney individuals. Snakes that smooth like criminals. They create chemicals. That the Earth hate. Doing their damndest to decrease my birth rate. I'd settle for lesser knowing I'm worth wait. Or at least my weight in precious gems. So I'm steadily steadly steadly. Trying to lose my religion like R E M. Created in His own image so are we him?. And through all this crises. Shid(Shit) I wonder where Christ is. Well he damn sure not in K town or the wild hundreds. Where they broadcast G.D. till the world blow-up. And Stone run it. Hunted by police for display in state vile cages. Come out to make minimum wages. And with a desiese that are contagious. It is fucking outrages. The amounts of Black and Brown they lock up. But the Most High encourages me to put the glock up. And Stock up on do for self knowledge. A brother couldn't afford to go to collage. So I had to learn form the school of hard knock. On the hard blocks of the Chi. Even I think about moving out to River Oaks. As my liver soaks. In mad Hennesy. Cause I got a bad tendency. To do a lot of drinking. Now I do a lot of thinking. Blinking was your third eye. When you heard I. was one of the chosen one. Industry doors keep closing. (sing) Watch the closing doors. Niggas want a record deal. But can they deal with a record?. Cause once they get rich. They tend to switch. Like a sissy. Please miss me. With all that bullshit you popping. This knowledge I'm gonna keep dropping. Even if you had one of them red octagon. Motherfuckers say Mylik how you make your living?. I say by breathing oxygen.
