South side of Chicago Chicago everywhere check it

It's like c'mon y'all get live get down

Verse One:
9
I stagger in the gathering possessed by a patter in
10
That be scatterin
11
Over the globe will my vocals be travellin
12
Unravellin my abdomen it's slime that's babblin
13
Grammatics that are masculine
14
I grab them in, verbally badgerin broads
15
I wish that Madelline, was back on Video LP
16
Raps I make up like blacks do excuses
17
I feel like Noah, hookin my mellows up on deuces
18
If a broad ain't got a mind or job or crib she useless
19
Acoustic basslines embrace rhymes while I chase mines
20
They say signs of the end is near
21
I wonder can I walk a righteous path holdin a beer
22
Got more verses than a Kramer, go off like a pager
23
Skills uglier than Craig Mack in your ear I'm the flavor
24
My old bird said some of my songs sound like noise
25
Don't watch the Bulls as much, they got too many white boys
26
A million black men walkin, towards one direction
27
For sure, the cream of the planets... resurrection
28
Verse Two:
29
A prophet, raised among black disciples and Vice Lords
30
Who don't give a fuck about mic cords and nice swords
31
get up, together black risk your cup
32
I'm wishin for a change, my man want his change in a cup
33
Yessir, I'm in the Mix-a-Lot
34
Bitches put em on the glass while I'm puttin stickers on they ass
35
I rule everything around me like cash
36
On the rocks of reality, dreams get smashed
37
In jams I M*A*S*H like Alan Alda
38
Niggaz nod, they say hey as if I was Little Walter
39
Eighty-Seven strip walker taught the code of the area
40
by staying, within the barrier
41
Exposed to stony stimuli, with that I identify
42
Brothers went through my rotate solidify the realness
43
Skull-caps, Murf Puffy jacket, Lug boots on
44
Steppin to me is like goin to the county being a Neutron
45
Verse Three:
46
I ride the rhythm like a Schwinn bike
47
When in dim light
48
I use insight to enlight
49
Device up in da skin tight
50
Words of wisdom wail from my windpipe
51
Imaginations in flight
52
I send light, like Ben's kite I've been bright
53
Get open like on gym nights
54
And in fights I send rights
55
Don't hook with skins my friends like
56
I spend nights up in dykes
57
I've been indicted as a freak of all trades
58
I got it made
59
I bathe in basslines, rinse in riffs, dry in drums
60
Come from a tribe of bums
61
Hooked on negro and mums
62
Had to halt with the, malt liquor
63
Cause off the malt liquor I fought niggaz
64
Now my speech and thoughts quicker
65
Cruisin Southside streets with no heat and no sticker
66
U Ak got my back and we don't get no thicker
67
Eighty-Seven got my back and we don't get no thicker
68
Chicago got my back and we don't now check it
69
I'm a ho but not a ho nigga
70
Ain't scared of no nigga
71
But it's my turn to go I gotta go
72
And I'm gone with the storm
