CHORUS
Let me get up on the scene, let me get up on the scene/ these niggas think they fuck with me?
Let me get up on the scene, let me get up on the scene/ mutha fucka spit yo peace, Matthew Reid.
VERSE 1
Whatta I think of 23? what the fuck do you mean?/ when I'm blowing out steam from this very stick leaf.
My life is kinda slow, then it speeds up/ my hope he just smokes, then he leaves us.
I cant believe that I got to see beach/ we went to Venice hit the scene, it was niggas in between.
The philosopher of life, that's my main objective/ I'll sleep in your class, pass the elective.
I want some free time so you go and just let em/ but I get real scared because I know you'll just reject em.
This song is for Steadman, miss that man Tony/ nigga that was the homie, but now its so lonely.
So just see, ima Houston nigga/ and just reach to another limit.
There's no way I can send it, but my minds above pimpin/ so watch me go and split cause you know I want to win it
VERSE 2
Now there's black kids in the streets as they mingle with police/ wanna ask for id bullet blast, another sleeps.
I wonder about my kids, if they're black if they're mixed/ if they walk into a store will cops just raise they're fucking fist?
Feel like I don't exist here's my political defense/ as Republicans get mad, we Democrats we offense.
I'm losing faith in the system, fuck school/ I'm never winning, cause the shit is always due and feels like I'm in detention.
Where the principal is mad, with my theory and math/ it's like the Iraq War plan, its the weapons that they have,
They say that Jesus wasn't black, Adult Swim man Boondocks pack/ it's the "Cradle To The Grave" and when I rap just feel my rath.
