[Intro]
~#**************#~
Yeah, yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Can I do my shiznit? Can I be specific?
~#**************#~
Can I chase this grip without lookin too big for my britches?
~#**************#~
Am I too prolific? The vision, my pugilistic moods insisted
~#**************#~
Food come from them tools, hes so choose to use
~#**************#~
Now Harriet Tubman say she freed a thousand slaves
~#**************#~
Couldve freed a thousand more if they was aware of the chains
~#**************#~
Whats under the rugs remaining unexplained, truth is mostly taboo
~#**************#~
Even when its starin back at you like an enemy tattoo
~#**************#~
Refusin to play the statue, I take action, without quittin
~#**************#~
Until I reach my point of satisfaction, not givin a crap what happens
~#**************#~
Im just a part of a winnin family, call me Marlon Jackson
~#**************#~
As Im workin hard to get my spin right
~#**************#~
Morphine and novacane dull the pain, still dont change the diagnos
~#**************#~
Pessimistic thoughts, curin the bricks, we tryna find some hope
~#**************#~
Most my counterparts be feeling the same, give me a light, lets smoke
~#**************#~
You either chasin this dirty money, or living righteous broke
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
B is for the blood, R is for the ropes
~#**************#~
O is for oppression, K is for the kush, need it just to cope
~#**************#~
E is for the evolution, its for this resolution
~#**************#~
Now have you ever been broke, sick of forever losin?
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
The damage is done but whos to blame? Finger pointin, namin names
~#**************#~
Nobody willin to pay that full admission to ride the gravy train
~#**************#~
Death is a part of life, happens daily, gotta face the pain
~#**************#~
I be limpin through it with lacerations, both my ankles sprained
~#**************#~
Cant rely on politics or that 1 percent to gain power
~#**************#~
Daily givin kibbles to let em own your life for 8 hours
~#**************#~
Poison get to waters, make it hard, safely take showers
~#**************#~
Nobody put in place to keep it straight so now we slang powder
~#**************#~
Chasin paper, aimin lasers at the opposition
~#**************#~
Cant play with these streets and say you positive, its a contradiction
~#**************#~
I aint have no pot to piss in, had to make some tough decisions
~#**************#~
Tired of dealin with these broke conditions, listen
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
B is for the blood, R is for the ropes
~#**************#~
O is for oppression, K is for the kush, need it just to cope
~#**************#~
E is for the evolution, its for this resolution
~#**************#~
Now have you ever been broke, sick of forever losin?
