The following is a song I wrote:
Back steps forward (it's on)
Verse 1
I take a whiff of my past and look upon it with disgust
But stop cause without it there’d be nothing to discuss
Like when they enslaved us, and shackled are wrist up
Then mentally slaved us, so we would behave good
They put us in projects, and gave us the white rock
Knowing the poverty would make us invite rock
They gave us the devils juice, along with the bullets too
So we could kill each other while we killing ourselves too
Now we the big stars, the paid entertainment
Driving in big cars and flashing our chain links
Smoking cigars and bragging bout how we made it
Though rules of engagement, say something was traded
To figure the trade off, I took me some steps back
Before I became soft and willing to lay flat
They got us with hush money, now we like **** buddies
Now we’re what we hated cause we tasted the lust – funny…
Verse 2
They say the things that you don’t like, are what you be most like
But really its more like what you hiding from your mind
Sit in my off time, and wonder about this
But Mary Jane doesn’t want me wondering bout ****
I put on the outfit, and try to fit in but
I figured it out its what’s been feeding my tempah
I try to remembah, what put me in this place
And why the **** I really started off in the first place
Thinking the worst case, but rarely the best case
I drink and I eat but, I’m hungry and thirsty
Like where did I go wrong? And why am I so gone?
And how am I so torn to pieces and still going?
mussa been real strong, where eva I came from
Cause I been standing naked in the middle of this storm
Wit nothing but fist drawn, cuz baby I’m pissed off
And if I can’t do it then I’m leaving you this song
If I don’t return home, then maybe I moved on
Or prolly I ****** up, but what could you do huh?
I tried to be you holmes, I thought it be cool yo
Thought you would love me, but I was a fool though
So I gotta move forth by taking some back steps
So I could view forward and take it to next lengths
Believe me when I’m saying *** you in the best sense
And **** me too for letting pressure get this tense
I see in the distance, a lot of resistance
But imma march through it cuz it’s what I’ve been sentenced
For all that I witnessed, along with who’s in this
My frontline n***** call it home in the trenches
I got my defense up, but I aint behind it
I’m walking in front of it in this rotten environment
I’m hating but loving it and I’m never retiring
‘till I’m gone, cause I am the lion
(N***** its on….)
Back steps forward (it's on)
