Make it Funky
Check This Out

Here to disrupt the school to prison pipeline
Speaking my mind while I still got time to do it
Run the track like Greg Pruitt you say you bout the people prove it
When I put in the work the dial I move it
Culture side of things my measurement of success
Beyond trinkets and rings
Kill the ego
Ericka Huggins
Said your body and soul
How you truly serve the people since long time ago
Sitting in Oscar Ritchie hall hearing John Henry Clarke
Where I got the spark to use my lost art
Say something worth speaking they swimming in folly
Higher levels what I’m seeking they rap is garbage
Kendrick said let the party die and I know why
Rather have the youth keep their head to the sky
Word to the elements royal regal and elegance
Leaders I respect don’t depend on delegates
Whole lot of peacocks with their chest out
Saw the corny path had to reroute
Come from strong men who taught me to speak out
You on that bs I be out
Too grown for that too pro black
Your cream and coffee ways
Seeing through them in my dark shades
But they could never eclipse my inner sun rays
This is light work over a faster BPM
Oakland on my brim one of one yeah I’m him

Check this out

Check this out a Black man on highway one rolling out
Communing with yemaja giving thanks to Jay cause it matters
World is moving faster don’t mean it’s moving better
I’m not rhyming on the track it’s an audio artifact
Beware of the tactics divide and conquer syndrome
I’m on point without a metronome
I got a bone to pick these industry pricks
We see the games you playing man you ain’t slick
politricks decide who when you awards get applause
Never needed your metrics I’m a rebel without a pause
Word to the S1W’s not the outer but the inner view
Giving no interviews
Deeper than an interlude nice with my hands
When I’m done no fingerprints left on the night stand
New cameras come but I’m gone to a new scene
Fly words make em swing forever King
