VERSE 1 (Allen Poe)
Don't Let em catch you slippin down round ya foundation
You might as well be lost found drowned in a basin
If ya don't hear me for the sample & hard snare
It sound like theories from a man in an armchair
My coolin unit seems fresh outta freeon
I'm heatin up like the light for the tree, yawn
write for a CD some, write for a record
write about the wrongs in my life and respect it
write about a thought in my head I protected
Give all of that to you just prolly neglect it
not well connected, well invested in hours alone my mind to the grindstone
eyes startin to feel old
Father Time undefeated in every weight class
So we Grind through the Brake pads....,
...,Climb from the grey ash
Survive a 80 day fast
Tryin to fulfill how the
first shall be last.
VERSE 2 (Hannibal King)
They said he never make it
9 to 5, 40 hour weeks back breakin
Late payments, still faded drawin crosses in the pavement, mom's favorite, chasin God's favor,
Never waiver they just jealous of the God's flavor,
Our mayor no approval for my misbehavior/
Been a savior, plenty haters
Like I don't come with plenty layers
Gifts God gave us
Trying prosper ball out at the red lobster
No imposter just a product of my father
Praise the past so the time will last
Baby hate me living fast
But the life is just that
I got one chance, like Chicago rappers
Another Christmas with no wrappers
Still a scrapper, nigga no actors
Momma told me do you, no backers
