[Ab] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Fm] _ Yo, [Eb] my display of attributes in a tight situation is like squeezing grapes for the drunken sensation
But these grapes got the taste of rap On behalf of my staff, I'm laser-trailing
set a path of forward motion Cause a commotion and diminish competition
School the shorties cause the I'll be on a mission
Standing dismissive, nonsense and weak flows
Who kick fuck through flows and stay afloat in the water
I simply order, this eats your whole manslaughter attitude
Cause niggas like you ain't really booed, I'm never pulling punches
Delivery is revelation, hear the I out, find out what you're facing
Never displacing the way brothers be living But what's the true elements of what I'm giving?
Delivering the full coverage [Cm] of how I'm living in the years of the night
My style and my language of crime _ _
I'm the very [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Eb] first African man born
Into a system that's torn into pieces
Not running through the [Ab] feces
But [Eb] everyday I feel that the love keeps decreasing
So I bring the love vibe to make it all coincide
Our love is imperial majesty
Man, it's a tragedy, I've seen your whole strategy
The speaker, your style's been blown like the speaker
I'm an old school, new school, rhyme fool with no tune
Packing the mic and keeping my cool
Like the water in the pool, quite [Abm] refreshing
Won't [Gm] settle for less in this rap game
I'm far from lame, while others fiend, I remain the same
Staying laced for the future that's faced my lord
[Eb] Where I and I all together on one accord
Yo, the clique that [Gm] manifests with much rapport
[Abm] With much love to give within the life I live
[Gm] _ Red _ [Cm]
light, I like it like [Eb] fire
_ _ _ _ [Fm]
Red light, I like it like fire
[Gm] Red light, _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ red light, red light
Red light, I like it like fire
First time, see my first rhyme in 207
[Ab] 197, 1 September 11th to the 12th
It's when we bless my people who well
First born son Rob, chilling in good health
Couldn't imagine the praise when I came out
The boom boom, my mom's womb was a niggas only womb
[Eb] Now I got the whole world to express [Ab] myself
Stretch myself, relax and plus rest myself
With the possible drops to pull
Check it steadily, avoid all the obstacles
And negativity, [Gm] yo, faggot stressing
Take advantage to get the best of me
[N] Sweating in hopes of getting next to me
It won't happen, see, I came to rock the spot
Serving the facts, I got all these urban backpacks
Of America, from four square miles, New York is stereo
Where strength dominates, they inferior
[G] And I'm out
Red [Eb] _ [Ab] _
light, [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Fm]
