Growing up in the hood we were just tryin’ to get rich or die tryin’ as we had the hunger for more and were tired of beggin’ for mercy from the law/After being traumatized from all the reckless shit that we saw/The thoughts of a predicate felon were all that plagued most of us who were baptized in poverty with skin that had any melanin/That’s why I can’t understand how the working class expect dealers and bangers to protect them from our oppressors when they treat everybody in the street like their back to back losers carryin’ more L’s to their names than Meek

2020 is nothin’ less than a massacre and our lives are nothin’ short of a documentary/ These hipsters are claiming that NYC is dead and I’m like but y’all the ones who killed it/Putting Starbucks over mom and pop businesses that were staples in the hood/Now gentrifier’s are out here playing the role of Suge/Jogging with their dogs like shit is all good/Gentrification got the hood on death row before y’all came we were like Pac but whenever we justify our rage y’all quick to call the cops/

Black lives only seem matter to some abolitionist when we’re dead or in a cage because dead niggas can’t talk and a nigga in cage can only use their voice so much to explain their rage/My generation is 12 years a slave to the aftermath of the crack wave/This is the new era like the fitted cap/We don’t call niggas custy’s we call them fiends because niggas will put their souls up for collateral and if that ain’t enough then they’ll pawn their dreams/I’m Dylan roofin’ niggas because God can’t protect them from the wrath of my pen/Everybody want the smoke but then cry when that ass get burned/

A bird chest cornrow wearing ass nigga that dates someone that works at the Vera Institute can never cancel me because I never subscribed to him in the first place/The real abusers use the weaponization of identity to duck accountability/Motherfuckers act like cis-het Black men are the only ones capable of committing harm/Meanwhile your Gems on Tik-Tok was out here breaching consent/Ain’t it funny how y’all the weakest link Twitter hasn’t had shit to say about that since/Niggas ain’t survivin’ this punishment while getting’ funded by a nonprofit/Shit I wouldn’t be surprised if they was sent in by the government/

Claimin’ to do radical work/Y’all can fool the rest of the world long as New York know/Are you more Darren Seals or more DeRay Mckesson?/Are you building your community or your brand?/It’s too many woketivist in these places/Molding hood niggas narratives while we’re lied on just to get us out of organizing spaces/I’m a bomb first and hit em’ up with nothin’ but ether/I don’t wanna be friends with none y’all bitch ass niggas either/These hot pocket niggas wouldn’t last a day in my hood where they carry pocket rockets and one shot could fuck up ya eye socket/I heard one of y’all work for a journal called lies/How ironic?/

Then you got this Ru Paul reject running the Reina Project/Draggin’ our race by chasing dollars over the cause/I had a lot of respect for you homie until you pulled up talkin’ shit at FTP 4/Y’all thought y’all could hide the truth like Hot 97 did back when they hired Paddy Duke/

These bougie bitches talkin’ bout FTP is a ablest march and I’m like but you knew yo limitations from the start/Take yo bird ass back to BYP100 and go play ya part/These niggas is callin’ us transphobic/Now we all know that’s a lie/When it was time to pop off y’all was a no show/When Tiffany Harris got killed up in the Bronx y’all didn’t pull up/But FTP did/My only question is what happened?/Based off of y’all actions Black Trans Lives only seem to matter in Brooklyn and Manhattan/When you ask who’s the best poet?/I’m sicker than your average/The old me is dead now/You are now looking at the Soundview savage.
