Generate meaning
1
Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish, I only talk about jewels
2
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
3
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
4
That same dude you gave nothin', I made somethin' doin'
5
What I do through and through and I give you the news
6
With a twist, it's just his ghetto point of view
7
The renegade, you been afraid, I penetrate pop culture
8
Bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they
9
Pop toasters and they live with they moms, got dropped roasters
10
From botched robberies, niggaz crotched over
11
Mommy's knocked up 'cause she wasn't watched over
12
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
13
No he's not around, now how that sound to you, jot it down
14
I bring it through the ghetto without ridin 'round, hidin' down
15
Duckin' strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
16
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
17
How you rate music that thugs with nothin' relate to it?
18
I help them see they way through it, not you
19
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
20
Bet everything you worth, you lose your tie and your shirt
21
Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
22
I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with 'em a minute
23
'Cause see they call me a menace and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
24
But if it don't then y'all will swallow the truth, grin and bear it
25
Now who's these king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics?
26
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics?
27
Usin' his music to steer it, sharin his views and his merits
28
But there's a huge interference, they're sayin' you shouldn't hear it
29
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
30
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
31
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
32
As a motherfuckin' drug addict like you didn't experiment
33
Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
34
And see yourself as a kid again and you get embarrassed
35
And I got nothin' to do but make you look stupid as parents
36
You fuckin' do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage
37
And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here
38
I don't think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
39
'Cause here we go, he's Jigga joint Jigga-chk-Jigga
40
And I'm the sinister, Mr. Kiss-My-Ass, it's just the
41
Renagade, never been afraid to say
42
What's on my mind at any given time of day
43
'Cause I'm a renagade, never been afraid to talk
44
About anything, anything, anything, anything
45
Renagade, never been afraid to say
46
What's on my mind at any given time of day
47
'Cause I'm a renagade, never been afraid to holler
48
About anything, anything, anything, anything
49
I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
50
Pockets filled with a lot of lint not a cent
51
Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
52
Whatchu hollerin'? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
53
By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin' braver
54
Doo-rag wrappin' my waves up, pockets full of hope
55
Do not step to me, I'm awkward, I box leftier often
56
My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
57
Could not stress to me, I wasn't grown 'specially on nights
58
I brought somethin' home to quiet the stomach rumblin's
59
My demeanor, thirty years my senior
60
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin' green up
61
Raisin' my fingers to critics, raisin' my head to the sky
62
Big I did it multi before I die
63
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
64
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight
65
See I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare
66
Jesus Christ, the King of these Latter Day Saints here
67
To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
68
As a monger of hate and Satan a scatter-brained atheist
69
But that ain't the case, see it's a matter of taste
70
We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is
71
Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape?
72
Media scapegoat, who they can be mad at today
73
See it's easy as cake, simple as whistlin' Dixie
74
While I'm wavin' the pistol at sixty Christians against me
75
Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics
76
In holy water, no wonder they try to hold me under longer
77
I'm a motherfuckin' spiteful, delightful eyeful
78
The new Ice Cube, motherfuckers hate to like you
79
What did I do? I'm just a kid from the gutter
80
Makin' this butter off these bloodsuckers 'cause I'm a muthafuckin'
81
Renagade, never been afraid to say
82
What's on my mind at any given time of day
83
'Cause I'm a renagade, never been afraid to talk
84
About anything, anything, anything, anything
85
Renagade, never been afraid to say
86
What's on my mind at any given time of day
87
'Cause I'm a renagade, never been afraid to holler
88
About anything, anything, anything, anything
89
Renagade, never been afraid to say
90
What's on my mind at any given time of day
91
'Cause I'm a renagade, never been afraid to talk
92
About anything, anything, anything, anything
93
Renagade, never been afraid to say
94
What's on my mind at any given time of day
95
'Cause I'm a renagade, never been afraid to holler
96
About anything, anything, anything, anything
