Live from the city where the dogs always bark //
Where the bullets always cross and the mothers are the mark //
My pride on my sleeve and I button up my heart //
With the colors always dark and these stories are the art //
Now I ain’t never quotin’ the Bible //
But a God fearin’ man and I’m protected from rivals //
Now why they got a problem with me? //
I’m just painting all these words for the world to see //
Last time a nigga checked we all tryin’ to eat //
Earned my spot at the table and I’m just takin’ my seat //
Defeat, was never my only option //
Battle with my demons no regrets in my coffin //
Now I’m feelin’ like I got the soul of a Spartan //
And my father was a sinner but his lessons was a godsend //
I guess I’m doin’ good for myself //
But it’s 2013 and we still killin’ ourselves //
