Lyrics: 

VERSE I: 
Perpetrate with the snakes in the land of the lost
It’s that get rich quick, dip your pan in the sauce
People only show faith, with the sign of the cross
Is it the grind for time? or a sign for all 
That we’re missing; a twisted dimension
A burden’s not served with a side of a blessing 
Feeling the tension, my apprehension, 
Always suspecting into the intentions
Never turn your back, toes turning black, from the frostbite
Never on a track, didn’t make a rack, I’ll be alright
Didn’t have a chance, always say they whack, get no sunlight
Wasn’t in my plans, But I’ll take a stab, for the spotlight
Break apart like apartheid, 
Divide the human race, while they build another wall
Fluctuate like the waves, they rise and I fall
When police shoot you, who can you call?
Impalas and bottles, they’re focused on dollars
More ballers, less scholars, More woman that holla
Envision a vision, no pot for the pissing
I christen the rhythm, don’t need algorithms 
Made it up on the fly, You Looked in my eyes 
Claimed that you ride, but you knew that’s a lie
Still standing in line,  just a matter of time
Not killing myself, cuz we all have to die 


CHORUS:
Cruising through the city cuz we made it out the back streets
Learning how to drive when I was sitting in the back seat
Swerving with no purpose, and now my vision is so nasty 
Imma spit that truth until my voice is raspy (x2)


VERSE II: 
Make it or take it, the stakes have been raised 
Fakes tried to break me, but I’ll wasn’t phased 
We’re all just pawns in the game that they play
Not righting our wrongs, we’re just tryna get paid
Seven an hour, turns sweet into sour
All dying for change, but lacking the power 
Our system is weak so we scour the cowards
two minutes of fame, no man of the hour
Where are our leaders, just look in the mirror
Inspire the minds, corrupt with the fear
Of losing control of what we killed to get
so we drop out of school and start whipping the brick
No role models, so we look to the media
Hands on the throttle, and pockets get greedier
Running out of options and bills intimidating
Never hesitating; now cops investigating
of a sloppy drug deal, and now you’re locked up
right around the time when your girl got knocked up
Sitting in a cell doing 25 to life
Reminiscing the times, when you shoulda thought twice
Before catching all the thrill of trying to be trill
Devil has a deal, trade your soul for a meal
But you signed it and its sealed, now I told you how I feel
My brain never chill, you know that I’m still


CHORUS: 
Cruising through the city cuz we made it out the back streets
Learning how to drive when I was sitting in the back seat
Swerving with no purpose, and now my vision is so nasty 
Imma spit that truth until my voice is raspy (x3)

REPRISE: 
Raspy, raspy, until my voice is raspy, 
imma spit that truth, until my voice is raspy (x2)
