This is me thinking at 4:43 AM June 6

Sometimes I wanna say f**k rapping

I need money now

Like should I start trapping

If what I write down

Don't collect this very moment

Then I'm on it

No question

In the streets my *s is well connected

Let's see

Do I cop a pound of kush

Promethazine or push some E

Oxycontin have me laying on soft cotton

When I sleep

This is deep as the abyss

I'm not just rhyming on the beat

I be in spots chopping

The rocks like flintstone feet

This is me frustrated

Battling my own evils

Finna saddle up that work

Across Ohio in a Geo

Or should I sell my music

Zip to buy your zip

And hope one day it flourish to a kilo

Track record of a hustler

Rather records on the needle making music

Clocking fast bank like a shot

From Patrick Ewing

My ni**a

What you doing on these corners with me

"I thought you had a show "

Well ma ni**a I guess I didn't

I'm tryna get this dough

And easy money sounds tempting

Especially when your

Homies pushing V8 engines

Twenty-two on twenty-sixes

Range Rovers rolling up

Three-fifty for an ounce of fire

I hope I got enough

This industry calling my bluff

I need a new solution

Curve-serving

Know I might be in your store boosting

2-11's with Mac-11's like f**k Hip Hop

Don't wanna be Pun

Don't wanna be B I G

Don't wanna be 'Pac

Just give me your funds A K A

Everything that you got

Or everything getting shot

For nothing

Leave you in shock

Coughing up blood and mumbling

Watch the plans of a young man sponsor

Moving grams like relocating

Your mom's momma

Then expand to the Hoover dam water

Sherm contraband

They yearn for the butt-naked

F**k a verse verses get let off

In thirty minutes six seconds

I disperse to the world of unruly

Where I put the mic down

And pick up a sack and a toolie

If you knew me

You'll know I always had a passion

For riddle when writing

But lately I've been thinking

About taking chances to brighten

My future financially

So please don't be mad at me

I gotta do what I gotta do no sh*t

So I tell my ni**a front me

Let me put it on the strip

Then give it back when I think

About the consequence sh*t

There are times

When you need someone

I will be by your side

Oh darling

Cause there is a light that shines

Special for you

And me yeah

I-take-I-take-take

My chances-chances-chances

Before they pass they pass they pass

Pass me by oh darling

You've got to look at the other side

R O T C

Right on time conscience
