[Verse 1] I don't need the TV to tell me who I am/ They ban our graffiti then they cuff our hands/ Cut our classes then they cut our fam/ Leads until there are no more leaves, just sand/ There's no broken homes just shattered remains/ And what remains is a generation shackled in chains/ Matter of fact, we should be mad at the fact/ That the same Black Panthers who made change are the same ones who made crack/ And put smack in their bangs/ And that's a fact, read a book, I ain't got to explain/ When the rain gets tough, my brain gets roughed/ Don't show them your cards, don't let them see you bluff/ Enough is enough, it's time to point the fingers at us/ They got the finger on the button and they're ready to push/ So it's time to discuss, more than the usual these rappers that bust/ This is the new rappers deluxe, keep the music on deck, respect and check the surplus/ [Chorus] (x2) Somebody must have told you wrong/ If you thought we would stop making any songs/ We gonna keep pushing along/ We gonna keep pushing along/ [Verse 2] (So) Let's give a toast to the rappers that fall now/ Just another name on the wall with certain season/ Your act can get promoted if you promote the bleeding/ If you don't, you're demoted and told to keep being broke/ No, we stick to the G-Code/ And not an O and a D and I don't need a pistol/ Flow with ease, I blow trees like [?] bush/ Be cutting down trees, give me the kush/ All I need is a simple life, don't need it to be plush/ Just food for my seed and proper G to touch/ I don't rust or crumble, break or fumble/ I was built to love but I'm ready to tussle/ Don't make the mistake that kindness is weakness/ Rather be on some peace then pull the P script/ In the end, all we have is a word/ And I rather keep my friends because the industry is absurd/ [Chorus] (x2) Somebody must have told you wrong/ If you thought we would stop making any songs/ We gonna keep pushing along/ We gonna keep pushing along/ [Outro] They lied to you... If you thought that we stopped... Oh yes they lied to you... If you thought that I stopped... Somebody lied to you... If you thought that I stopped... Somebody lied to you... Maybe tell them to stop...
