#BLKCLD - Detroit Hobbes Lyrics

The O.G. throwing bows
Like Rodman in nine three
I wanna be about the culture
Bills want me bout the street
Do I hold a grudge against the system
Or myself
For not being free
Or the listeners
Who only care about
Percs Xannies Lean Weed and Coke
Talking out the side of their necks
Bout how they woke
Now a days life is like
Naps on a bed of nails
Or long strolls on short roads of eggshells
Go along with the lies and it's no caps
Opinionated facts
Tell the truth
And the sheep be like
Why would you do that
My momma's momma told me
God takes care of babies and fools
It explained a lot
But not
How the cancel culture
Cancelled the culture
Now these niggas wearing Hermes
Calling crackers the culture vultures don't make no sense
Like dollars
That ain't in circulation
Cause booty percolation cause precipitation
That make it rain
But not for neighborhood programs
For the youth
And I'm breaking the same spell myself

I don't need to live life like royalty
I just wanna be nice off my royalties
And not have to sell my soul
On this road to success
Kept my higher self intact
Left the bullshitting and such
Way in the back
Of my timeline
Word to Mary and God son
Cloud be on one
Jewel craft with math
On behalf of the ancestors
Who pioneered the bag
Inscribed the path
Took the shots
And we still have not
But the precious memories of the cost of the struggle
Now cliched posts and memes
And most of y'all don't even know what it means
Word to Blackwatch
I'm a march
If it's just me
I'd rather be a martyr
Than live like y'all do
Careful shit starters
Not on the menu
In revolutionary street cafes
They understand knowledge is power
And health is wealth
But go and pay your mortgage with some lessons nigga
Cash is still King
And for us
Freedom still ain't ring
It's a mighty big world
And to leave your mark
You gotta be
On the cutting edge
Not the safe part of the knife like everybody else
It take big risks to jump out the lake
Into the ocean
And be a big fish out here
In international waters
