In Conclusion...

Yeah Uh Preach exodus, slip these shackles off of my feet Released to rise from these streets and peak excellence Common misconceptions, contextual imperfections Interpreted from oppressors bout niggas who bleed melanin Feds flood the streets but cease for free medicine Niggas cop jewels I drop to seek relevance Million dollar smile, grinning, lying through ya teeth Still can't pay ya mama bills, talk alike the shit was cheap Every corner coroners confirm a body in the sheet Doubt I'd ever love a bitch these niggas bodies in the sheets to em I peep the sequence treat em more like sequins see thru em Heart along my sleeve the fabric ivory I bleed thru it Live thru irony, lotta eyes alike was eying me Caught between the bars, a wish they placed on how my mind would think All about a Benjamin rather than being literate Saying I thought different shows that I been hypocrite Worried bout my own, not worried if he prevalent Not picking up the phone if dead presidents ain't the precedent Nature of the beast, I reside inside his gut Really though to say the least, all this talk ain't doing much Yo I been holding grudges close to bottles I been clutching Living on the edge where niggas known to push but I ain't budging I'm not falling off, lighting in the glass known to Molotov From genocide to holocaust, the hood up in the fall or frost Been exhausted from smoke that I blow, flow out an exhaust tip Ashes to ashes, I hit it then pass it thru hardships Often, keep at it till will embossed in my coffin Coughing seems less dramatic, emphatic more on nostalgia Times simple, more focused on catching up to the tempo On these instrumentals not so much being this influential Monumental feats beneath what's essential, too much potential How a symbol of what's sinful become less than consequential You know, I tend to think About this illusion we call life a lot Precision from each an angle, live beneath stars spangled Hard to remain involved, any reason or cause mangled Plastered over these posters, proposals of laws dangle Systematic oppression got most of us all strangled You don't see the threat, hang us from our necks If it wasn't me it could be you that was next
