00:30I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses, I'm sick of you talkin' bout blunts, sick of Versace glasses, sick of slang, sick of half-assed awards shows, sick of name brand clothes, sick of R&B bitches over full shit tracks, cocaine and cracks, which brings sickness to black, sick of swole head rappers with they sickening raps, claps and gats, makin' a whole sick world collapse, the facts are gettin' sicker, even sicker perhaps if I stick a push to make a bundle to escape this madness.

01:25I'm sick of snakes, you know them snakes, I'm sick of them, I'm sick of them snakes, I'm sick of them
01:31Yo it's about love, love for cars, love for fun, love until a mad sex, love until a gun
01:37Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth, love for the fact of no longer loving yourself
01:42Kid we living in the days of the man made ways where every aspect is vivid
01:47These brothers no longer talk shit, these niggas livin', bout to give it to you 24 7 on the microphone
01:53Plug one, translating the zone, no offense to a player but yo I don't play
01:58And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way, JDW, show your love, what you got to say
02:03I say jeans are making niggas out of high regard, and niggas dying for it nowadays ain't odd
02:09Investing in fantasies and not God, welcome to reality, sometimes it's hard
02:14People try to snatch the credit but can't claim the card, showing out in videos saying they co-starred
02:20See shit like that'll make your mama cry, better watch the way you spend it cause the stakes is high
02:36I think that smiling in public is against the law, cause love don't get you through life no more
02:41It's who you know and how you sung, and how you getting in and who the man holding
02:45And how was the skin and how high, yo what up, I heard you caught a body
02:49Seem like every man and woman share the life of John, but they ain't organized
02:53Mixing crimes with life enzymes, taking the big scout route, your niggas no doubt
02:57Better than they know they daughters and they their sons
03:00People go through pain and still don't gain positive contact
03:04Just like my main man who got others cleaning up his physical and fluid
03:08His mind got congested, he got the non-influid, neighborhoods are now hoods
03:12There's nobody's neighbors, just animals surviving with that animal behavior under eye
03:16We'll be climbing from dark to light in the sky, experiment where needles and skin connect
03:21No wonder where we live is called the projects, when them sticks are high
03:25Damn sure try to do anything to get the piece of the pie
03:29Electrify, even die for the cash for the last to be out
03:33Even though you're working hard, position was closed like an elevator door
03:37But soon we open once we get to the next floor
03:40No wonder where we live is called the projects, when them sticks are high
03:44Damn sure try to do anything to get the piece of the pie
03:48Electrify, even die for the cash for the last to be out
03:52Even though you're working hard, position was closed like an elevator door
03:56But soon we open once we get to the next floor
04:00Even though you're working hard, position was closed like an elevator door
04:04But soon we open once we get to the next floor
