There's some confusion about nooses
Guess our lessons ain't been learned
There's a contusion in our music
Guess our trauma our ain't been earned
I realize my sacrifice
Don't mean s**t to my masters burn
All of this s**t down to the ground
Until ownership gets its turn
We been rappin for pennies for half of a century
Laughing to mask the fact that I'm baskin in envy
Mastered the craft now they use my masters against me
Advance me some cash after taxes
I'm practically empty
Slowly losin my passion the path of an emcee
Got me gaspin passing the henney n grasping the semi
N***as think cuz I dropped a classic I'm doin better like
I got a slew of cheddar
If only you knew my thoughts of pursuing a new endeavor
They sayin Grip u can't give up on the music never
I quit is sumn you could never say
It's funny they act like I just started rappin yesterday
Fact of the matter is you n***as just started pressing play
I met a man who's pupils were dollar signs
He made a deal that promised I won't be forgot in time
But here's the catch every single rhyme u jot is mine
Not a problem fine just put yo name on dis dotted line
There's some confusion about nooses
Guess our lessons ain't been learned
There's a contusion in our music
Guess our trauma our ain't been earned
I realize my sacrifice
Don't mean s**t to my masters burn
All of this s**t down to the ground
Until ownership gets its turn
Product of the madness sold as product to the masses
From poverty we bastards
So we flashing in high fashion
Never learned cash money so when earnd cash money we burned cash money
Ghetto stars turned crash dummies
In foreign cars that's leased n Audemars wit links
We had to buss down for all dem times a n***a had to bus it
Or spent like half the budget to put some gas in the bucket
Down to yo last like f**k it
If I was a lad who's dad had ducketts would
I give this biz the green light if I knew the words
I sing might put me on a string like puppets
Controlled by japeto from ghetto to ghetto
Kiss yo hood goodbye and tell Hollywood hello
But old habits die hard n where
I'm from we die young cuz we can't
Let bygones be bygones so we buy guns
And when u caught slippin they gon make a killing off yo killing
And the cycle continues for your children
D**n
