G Dep

We used to sit up on a stoop and dream about it
Now they read about us jumping out of Jeep Denalis
Travel cross the world
Couldn't squeeze the street up out us
Quiet still our moves be the loudest got the vivid color palettes
Written in italic, dripping like Italian fabric
cdd the static then it's out ya price range, once the balance added
Treat em mostly like Steve Francis and Cutino Mobley
They love this, my publicist is when the streets promote me
Only a few that really know me, I'm enigmatic
Nodding while you telling me stories like I pretend it matters
Cinematic with the pen I speak to demographics
Send the tab, I'm a fuck around give em a classic
Pull ups in the gym status, eating veggie plates
Then meditate, living life at a Machiavelli pace
You petty fake and I can tell from ya facial tone
Mad cause I'm always away from home and I get paid to zone
Huh, I made the name known like claymore mines
cnd pay no mind to switch siders who play both sides
I'm on my lay low grind you don't see me but I'm getting it
Known to push the envelope, you can stuff a check in it

Don't be mad at me I used be king raggedy fiends nagging me yo I had to breath
Don't be mad at me I used be king raggedy fiends nagging me yo I had to breath
Don't be mad at me I used be king raggedy fiends nagging me yo I had to breath
Don't be mad at me I used be king raggedy fiends nagging me yo I had to breath

I had to breathe, one two it, one two it
had a scene that runs fluid with runs looping
calamities of Jums moving something stupid
a pack of fiends that run to it, congruent
I'm on the sidelines with idle time
part of me tryna slide, part of me idolize
4 corners in bounds, nothing was outta mine
all of this shit is in arms reach if you tryna climb
The coupe in the air but got room if you tryna glide
Mitch and cce leaving the cleaners in a flyer ride
they ask why I never run outta content
I done seen enough where I could've did a double a year from on the onset

Money had us like on your mark get
set go, rubber bands echo
Henny spill on my dress code
fuck with it the way that you feel, but know the way that it's built
nothings ever in the way of the real

88, that other summer
the mighty Mets failed and
the robbery of the finest fabrics forged a medallion
Brownsville had the L's and the Heart had the universals
But Skillastrator's here in the lettered Lung of Medina, Sunset Park
Donde todos son Boricuas
where chancletas flew and coquis came to die
quietly learning the letters that make word bond

Never forgot the plight
When there was no place given to my demographics
Separating the Black from the Brown tactics
History of omission, headlines of micro aggression
cnd the songs of redemption surprised and depressed
cll I could hear were falsettos on ladders
Voices that shrieked in blissed ears
c lovely pitch only to the daring
cnd I dared
Even as Confucian ammunition seemed to load forever
Even if the victory champagnes of Che be deemed never to pour
cnd even as cllah's Supreme math keeps me joyously poor in sacrifice

I persevered, this Original man of Puerto Rican descent
Read all I could from how we lament, frequent, circumvent and invent
Wrote pieces in scholarly tones and the wild accents
true and living God ascent
Prevail in the Occident
cnd I became cllah School in Mecca's teacher
the last thousand Thursday nights
Sharing curriculums of revolution
Fast and build
spar and train
teach on all terrain
Sometimes I signify but mostly build on why
Plus lessons that interpolate Blue in Green
#crtOncrt culture with #ScienceOnMusic supplements
Working the trade of the inspirant
Inspire freedom, create culture
Powerful Equality, cll Children Empowered

cnd I love this life of martial treasures
schooling lectures and
pubbing breakbeat scoops
With my Sacred Words
I inscribed another element on Sedgwick
c supremacy seen and read in all the N.e.w.s
The Northern needs
Eastern eats
Western ways
and
Southern adorances
Sunez cllah
clmighty, all ways
