The Living Legends

[Chorus: Bicasso]nIt's a kid on the corner of his blocknAnd there's a genius in his room with a deep thoughtnIt's a grower in the hills with a cropnBut if they all come together what they got?nA little power unified to make a knotnWell of coursenAnd if a plan to expand is endorsed for some morenLend a hand, pay attention and explorenWe all in this people we all in this...nn[The Grouch]nWell I don't know where you've beennBut if you got here I'll let you innWelcome you with open arms, now let's beginnSet the scene, serious as fuck minus the meannBuild up your esteem and get to growingnI'm showing fools a place where they can comenAnd release the dumb deeds they've donenCause ever since I was young I've been shown I wasn't alonenI roamed with my unhoned skillnAnd anyone who talked down on menI knew they didn't know the dealnMy belief was way larger than lifenTaking charge with the might in my mindnAnd recognizing that in other mankindnI knew I was on the right path, seenCombating a fight, wrath raging for way too longnAnd you might say you're strong, proud, loud and so onnSteadily doing damage every time you get your flow onnI build in Oakland, Chicago and everywhere else I gonThere are people who know exactly what I meannMore than a scene, great minds think alikenSo when you find hate it ain't tightnDecipher the paint rightnGet your sights set on what's importantnStop distorting the big picturenWhen will it hit ya?nn[Chorus]nn[JC]nA rich man in poor man's bodynThat's what I was growin' up, hustlin' for the bucknMentally torn between just to be or not to benIt gotta be it betta, be betta days ahead of menCheddar cheese, luxuries, were never gave to menInstead I shift from home to home, feelin' lone was I pronenFrom the destiny in which I lay to wallownTo live for today and give a fuck about tomorrownThe sorrow and hatred is my only perceptionnBecause all my memories are filled with lies and deceptionnThe stressin', deprived of a childhood and adolescencenLearn my lesson, now it's all goodnI never thought I'd see the streets of so many hoodsnMy heart done broke so many times, boy it's harder than woodnIt's been a long road, but you know the game unfoldsnI listen to the stories told by the cats of oldnTryin' to tell me I don't know about strugglin'nLike in the slave days, but ain't shit changednInstead we ain't wearin' chains, huhnI feel the same pain but it's escalatednNiggas feel free, but still ain't emancipatednSo getting' faded is what's left off the green leafnHindering the mind, but when I'm high I feel finenBeen in the wrong place at the wrong timenAll the timenTryin' to journey into the lightnBut the dark ain't far behindnI'm at a color disadvantage but I managenTo make it work for me by the use of my talentsnAnd use common sense to gain dollars and centsnAnd ain't ashamed of what I donUntil the day I repentnn[Chorus]nn[PSC]nI stay humble through the many of fumbles I found troublenAnd trouble it doubles in cities amongst the rubblenI learned from my mistakes to miss anothernResembling ignorance, isn't it all in the struggle?nGot you wondering, why?nYou wanna bubble so you hustlenBuilding the muscle that's not needednSo the other one you ignore itnAnd feed it more fantasy and you store it, the bubblen(Your circumference of comfort)nGhetto fabulous important in societynA circle of clubbing and girl fucking amounts to really nothingnWhile we fronting for the publicnWe shove it down the throats of our kids and watch em love itnAnd got the nerve to wonder why shit's fucked upnThe government lucked up, by giving fools the right to bear armsnCause we shoot each other down after last call...nWhat the fuck y'all???nn[Chorus]
