Sim Card

Everything 
that I ever written
I admit
it was mostly predicated on the parlance
Feast on the beat
like it’s bon appétit
I come through swinging like a nigga named Tarzan
Started from the bottom, still I’m cooking on the stove top
Said that I won’t make it but I don’t even know y’all
Plus when I’m creating — look, I do it for myself
The riches manifesting from within, plenty of wealth

I
get in my zone
Sitting all on my own
Focusing on the breath
Bow my head in respect
Rappers teaching like the devil:
Drugs, women, and sex
$100,000 more you talk ‘bout killing and death
The music you consuming — it’s perpetuating war
The enemy the enemy of who you saw on tour
While the crowd was going wild screaming for an encore
They was backstage sayin’ they don’t love it like they used to

Make it cool for youth
It’s on the radio too
Talking violence against people who look just like you
And now you’re bank account rich, but your spirit is poor
And you can’t go back around your neighborhood anymore
Where it used to be community — a full-blown war

Which side?
He died just because the colors he wore
And ’cause the violence, then prices on the property drop
Without the tax money, education funding’ll stop
You let that cycle keep on running for a decade and half
And this the part that always seem to catch people on they ass

Suddenly it’s coffee shops and a couple restaurants
Now you seeing different types of folks walking through your block
Then the Johnsons, the Washingtons, the Jacksons was gone
They homes got demolished and new construction going on

A new condo
Trendy shops on the first floor
Shereese — her son got a job where he works the door
That’s when you see it’s not neighborhood no more
’Cause your neighbors here now — they not waving anymore

You turn on your Spotify but see that there’s the moral
Is the music you consuming — it’s perpetuating war
And enemies the enemy of you saw on tour
While the crowd was going wild screaming for an encore
They was backstage said they don’t love it like they used to
Too deep in the game — they can’t do anything useful
Damn.

Yes Please

do better
