lyrics

1st Verse
You eva had somebody tell you that
You wouldn’t neva be SHIT???

Knowin in a lil bit
Them same haters gone be all up on yo dick??
(or clit?) Yeah, I said it…

Raze BEEN known
For bein’ so
Big headed.
If life is a bish,
She been my lifelong
Bedwench.

PDA in CVS
Poppin up wit 12 at my gig,
Accusin’ me of shit
My ass ain’t even did…
Yet, here I is.

Livin’ my BEST life
In spite of roads bumpy,
Can’t NOBODY say the Lawd
Don’t love me.

They called me pompous,
They called me arrogant,
Short nigga standin’ tall
Neva been scared of shit.

It’s a cold world
‘specially when ya furnace broke,
Holidays spent in da county
Thankful for Ramen Foke.

I done lost it all
But been blessed enough to
Get it back TWO FOLD,
Who else da fuck YOU KNOW
Ain’t neva been defeated?

Hook (2x's)
I’m thankful for the life that I’ve lived (talk to 'em),
I’m thankful for my wife and my kids (talk to 'em).
I’m thankful for my fam that’s still breathin’ (Why's That?)
Life is hard, yeah we scarred,
But ain’t neva been defeated.

2nd Verse
Ain't no love left...
Cuz all dat love lost.
They was eager to see me trip
hoping I'd fall off.

Surprise nigga,
I’m still alive
And still strive nigga,
Wit a life you only see inside you mind nigga.

If I was you,
I would be jealous too.
Bad broad on my side
Wit my na’an worry on my mind?

Who tha fuck I think I am
Walkin’ round so cocky
I done fuck all ya heauxs
And mastered all da flows

Don’t give a fuck aboutcho fashion trends,
STILL slick wit da clothes,
Make beats
AND don’t need na’an nigga to recode (record).

(OH)
I’m a one stop shop
For bein da shit,
Ace Boon Coon,
Real nigga you should fuck wit.

…and I don’t even fuck wit but a few.
Kicked it wit some bitch niggas
Then they plotted a coup.

Which in the end was cool,
And exactly what I needed,
Life been hard, AND I'm scarred,
...but ain't NEVA been defeated.

Hook (2x's)
I’m thankful for the life that I’ve lived (talk to 'em),
I’m thankful for my wife and my kids (talk to 'em).
I’m thankful for my fam that’s still breathin’ (Why's That?)
Life is hard, yeah we scarred,
But ain’t neva been defeated.


Bonus Track "Black AmeriKKKan Genesis"
Ghetto born and raised,
Product of the same
Cage, constructed to keep us
Fucked & enslaved.

Brave soul
Mistakenly labeled as an A-hole
Painstakingly making my way
To heights they claim we can’t go.

I been strugglin’ so long,
Kid treated grown,
Cuz when they see us
They see threats…

Can’t wait to get that noose around
My brown skin neck,
No noose?
They just send bullets thru
My brown skin chest.
...what’s next?

If I don’t die
And survive,
Throw me in front a judge
Who just as racist
As tha muthafuckin shooter was.

if I try to ease da pain
Smokin’ on some booda-bud,
They don’t see no circumstance
They just say dat dude a thug.
What da fuck?

Lock ‘em up!
Throw away da key,
Muthafuck his fam,
Just keep that nigga
Fuck away from ME!

And they lily white existence,
Make laws
To keep us all off at a distance,
Then say WE ignant.

Hook
We ain’t got no benefits.
We ain’t got no privileges.
We get fucked no Vaseline
And just get get left to deal wit it.

Black AmeriKKKan Genesis.
Black AmeriKKKan Genesis.
(x2)

I tried to tell niggas…
…but nigga, it’s crazy.
Niggas won’t listen to niggas
Unless niggas is Jay-Z.

We from da same system.
You’d swear they’d recognize
Game & wisdom
When it hit em’
In the same syncopated rhythm.

I ain’t raise ‘em
But STILL feel
It’s my job to uplift ‘em,
Cuz I remember clearly
What it’s like to NOT have SHIT still.

And won’t neva forget,
Them nights
wit no heat Or no lights,
trappin’ off’uh Center street
wit E and Dice.

Sparkin weed
Swearin’ we was
Bout to spark a movement,
Just Black men wit dreams
Of havin’ thangs we neva seen.

Wit out own eyes or otherwise,
Prayin we don’t fall the same fate
As all our other guys.

“Naw, not ME”
Said by every muthafucka in here,
Never knowin’
His final moments
Is near...

Just history repeatin’
The same sequence
For heathens...
Thankful for every moment we breathin’..

Cuz we ain’t got no benefits.
We ain’t got no privileges.
We get fucked no Vaseline
And just get get left to deal wit it.

Black AmeriKKKan Genesis.
Black AmeriKKKan Genesis.
