When shit gets dark mentally, let me be/
I invest in the Art cuz it sets me free/
The Big Dog a God different breed/
Fuck ya pedigree, this shit is priceless/
You lucky that I set a fee/
Capitalism, Economic Terrorism/
Crash collision with my brash decisions/
Feels like part of my past is missing/
But at least I know it's somewhere written/
I was looking for the truth like it was somewhere hidden/
But it isn't it's within us/
A nigga always in the kitchen cookin like it's dinner/
My food for thought a meal for winners/
Life moving fast but I'm not a sprinter/
But I'm runnin for a sack, I'm a bag getter/
Rap niggas not contenders, they cannot offend us/
Love and compassion what you seldom see/
Especially in regards to the children and the elderly/
We all need more tea and elderberry/
To myself I owe it I made it out of my lowest/
The heroic poet move stoic/
I can't show it/ (naw)
I can't show it and you know it/
I can't show it and you know it/ (yo)
I can't/
Naw/
