[Hook:]It ain’t the prettiest state of mind I’m inI stay busy, I don’t wait in line to liveAnd I don’t know what you’re talkin’ aboutBut if I’m not in the ground, then I’ll be rockin’ the crowdIt ain’t the prettiest state of mind I’m inI stay busy, I don’t wait in line to liveAnd we don’t allow standin’ aroundPut your life in your hands, put your hands in the clouds[Verse 1: slug]Now – I spy that you’re tryin’ to get byBut that’s the wrong kind of fly, you the wrong kind of highThat’s the wrong kind of right, probably out of leftFollowin’ your breath – solemn in your stepI stand tall like a midwest obeliskWelcome to the future, pre-apocalypseWhere a ratchet ain’t nothin’ but a socket wrenchAnd it takes all we got to stay positiveI don’t always make the best choicesBut life’s too short to stay disappointedI make music my granddad would probably call noiseI made two baby boys and I gave ‘em a voiceNow, I don’t pop recreational shots, butYou tryna clock like the face of a watchStop – already got my name on a rockI created some jobs, still afraid of the cops[Verse 2:]Mind state ain’t the prettiest, mine is straight hideousWhen I make a statement it’s the kind you take seriousDescribe the life and times of a divine white lyricistWritin’ the type of rhymes that are provided by experienceRepresent for the bottom-dwellersMade my escape through the trap door though I’m not a sellerGears in my noggin stay winding like I got propellersGiven a shot and I can rock more spots than a leopardSince 2000 I’ve dealt with a lot of deathCuffed so many times that I can’t count the arrestsLifelong beef that hasn’t allowed me to restGang of sacrifice while paying my pound of fleshWhat war to reap by those that carry the load?Keep your guard up and know how to parry the blowsYo, I got no complaints, man, I’m sharin’ the roadWith three of the illest emcees from my area codeIt goes…[Hook:][Verse 3:]This world mirrors hell, givin’ more than subtle hintsThat’s why I said if you ask for the real, you might not like what you getPretty is not for me, my ugly met with fameGodly and dodger-proof, I’m the truth, respect the nameMind you, I’m stompin’ you hard, rockin’ you, never sayin’In hot pursuit, posse a lot of fools, weapons andPull up in your buzzards, solomon waters or somethin’Destruction comin’, rough and rugged, not lovin’, it’s nothin’Shake the spot, I wait and watch for gas rates to dropWhile you debate if kim kardashian’s booty is fake or notAnd claim who’s illuminati, and that kanye dude seen jay nudeWhile I’m hopin’ some maniac doesn’t shoot up my daughter’s grade schoolBut I play cool…Early to spot disasterChallenging the notion that most rappers are not good actorsConspiracy theory leery, but you won’t see the sweatAnd don’t call me crazy ‘cause I drink freon soda and walk my chia pet[Verse 4: brother ali]Yep, yep, we’re so polite – minnesota nightsWarm smile but the overbite cold as iceBlack bodies dangle off the light pole at nightListen close, you might overhear the poltergeistBuilders of the occupy home prototypeYou got a goal in sight you either gotta fold or fightSeedy pages cover what the poets writeBut call a dead black baby the n-word overnightProgressive black congressman,But we also got michelle bachmanWhy you think I’m in a cell, my man?Wrists scarred from the zip-tie that held my handsI don’t sell out, andI’m from the late great paul wellstone’s landWhere the aim first made their stand, andI can never be made at the lakes,But minnesota’s got a lot of bad habits to breakYou betcha…[Hook:]
