Quite a few things cross my mind /
As I sit at my desk
Like, how whips and chains were once used /
To keep us in check
But nowadays, whips and chains /
Is what y’all respect
Quick to cash ya check /
Than cop you some bling
Your kids have no shoes /
But you got 4 rings
All kind of new things /
But where is the art? /
I hate to see my culture /
Fallin’ apart
Everybody think they tough /
Everyone got beef
But none of them fight /
Unless the crew come deep
Grown men whilin’ out /
Women actin’ like freaks
10g’s on fake titties /
30g’s on platinum teeth
throwin’ away your dollas /
you conscience can’t compete
with ya ego /
designer drugs /
got you rollin’ with the wrong people
“friends” & freaks come around /
but all they do is freeload
when the bowl is cashed.. /
you’re always the one who reloads
aren’t you sick of that shit? /
I am mane /
I have to admit
That’s why this old mutha fucka’s /
About to flip the script
Bring it all back to the essence /
100 years after my death /
you’ll still feel my presence
talk shit mutha fucka /
I’m in your mouth like a dentist
And after I’m finished /
Your careers will be shorter/
than Pooh-Man’s part in Menace
