I will not provide a pre-packaged product for you
I'm quality food, so mouth shut, shallow and chew
speaking in tongues. I came to shower people with love
like, you're not breathing enough, and that's the reason you suck
some cats can't follow me past the first line
too deep that ant colony cattle herd mind
I laugh it up, no matter what's happening, I'm fine
just glad to be alive and looking fabulously fly
rode home on a bike, flat broke every night
focused, precise, and in total control of my life
and you're a chump to me, just company property rap
I'm watching my back, burn bridges at the drop of a hat
ripping mics and living like Jesus for now
so if you see me in town, let me sleep on your couch, really
am-bivalent about the thought of fans listening
and watching my hands scribbling contraband images
yes, you are now in tune with the sound of poverty
album quality, straight to underground economy
you heard about the thirtyseven but you never witnessed it
human television with depth and vivid images
what's the gameplan? watch my ego do a faceplant
a changed man, used to have a basic cable brainpan
what you got, dude? nothing but a rhyme and a hot loop
and a promise you can stop it the second it's not true

now you rappers make it hard to believe in your music
I hear what you're saying, the problem is I see what you're doing
now if I bless the beat, best believe I spoke it honestly
because I know you're watching me like the flow was stolen property
so from all the love and respect to all the stuff I regret
when it's five o clock in the morning and nothing is left
no lies and no secrets to hide from those demons
cuz we live like dogs and we die for no reason
so strip the language away, the games that we play,
be creative and brave and go get naked today,
with single moms living on some government checks
who struggle with debt facing a future that's nothing but stress
see, I choose to speak to those who truly need the food and heat
losing sleep while their favorite rapper shops for jewlery
kids who learned firsthand the truth is useless
going to school with bruises and a thousand smooth excuses
broken down for those who doubt the pain behind the music
like, let's rewind the tape so I can find the frame to prove it
yes, you are now in tune with the sound of poverty
album quality, straight to underground economy
you heard about the thirtyseven but you never witnessed it
human television with depth and vivid images
what you got, dude? nothing but a rhyme and a hot loop
and a promise you can stop it the second it's not true
