Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Keep this thread alive!!

Right hand on the Bible, left hand in the air
Before I spoke one word, made sure my throat was clear
A-hem, I'm a prisoner of circumstance
Frail nikka, I couldn't much work with my hands
But my mind was strong, I grew where you hold your blacks up
Trap us, expect us not to pick gats up
Where you drop your cracks off by the Mack trucks
Destroy our dreams of lawyers and actors
Keep us spiralin, goin backwards
At age nine, saw my first hate crime
Blindfolded, expected to walk a straight line
Mind molded, taught to love you and hate mine
Climbed over it, at a early age, Jay shined
fukk the system at Lady Justice I blaze nine
Your Honor, I no longer kill my people, I raise mine
The soul of Mumia in this modern day time


Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat damn!

I came to post the EXACT same thing just now.

I was bumpin that song this morning...that boy is so fire :wow:

You gotta be a 84 baby/90s Kid from NYC to understand how VULGAR these BARZ are:

Cat be him, El Cap-i-tan
The fire I spit burn down Happyland
Social Club, we unapproachable thugs
Non-social, gone postal


:ooh::damn::deadmanny::rip::wow:

Bet, bruh.

I never gave that line much thought. I just looked it up and it's even more potent than I've ever given it credit for.

What I love about Hov is that he'll reference shyt that you gotta be in the know to know. Dude's not trying to make music for everyone. Just himself and his ppl and we all just happen to relate for the most part.

I had to visit Genius lyrics to understood your reactions to these bars. These rhymes flew over my head for many years. Hov probably the most clever lyricist that can spit rhymes that are accessible while being covered with layers of metaphors. :whew: That's my Gawd MC:to:

Whole verse tho :wow:

You see me with a bodyguard that means police is watchin
And I only use his
Waist to keep my Glock in
But when shyt goes down you know who's doin the poppin
And if you don't know, guess who's doin the droppin
S dot again, y'all got him in a bad mood
Bad move; that's bad news
How many times have I got to prove?
How many loved ones have you got to lose
Before you realize that it's probably true?
Whatever Jigga say, Jigga probably do
shyt I paid my dues, I made the news
I came in the door for dolo, blazed the crews
And the streets say Jigga can't go back home
You know when I heard that? When I was back home
I'm comfortable dog, Brooklyn to Rome
On any Martin Luther, don't part with your future
:scust:
Don't ever question if I got the heart to shoot ya
The answer is simply too dark for the user
And as a snot-nose they said that he got flows
But will he be able to drop those before the cops close in?
'Fore the shots froze him, and he's dead and gone
From what the block has spoken, my God
Everybody stressin, who's his baby's moms?
Who he got pregnant, let me tell you, ahh...
