So here it comes
it's another one
bought by the large one
hard win
just a little more than you bargained
I stand strong not alone in the rat race
ah can a brother get a little space
I'm tired of all the poor advice
and everybody sucked down
I tell you what
but you don't hear me out
so when I get it open I'm hoping
for a little praise G
too many heroes on the set
tryin' to save me
don't get me wrong
but I'll tell ya when I need ya
it's either do it my way or see ya
I'm workin' on a plan so damn ya
if you can't approve of it
everybody here ain't gotta love it
I'm comin' to my own
I'm grown, so wait till they release me
a shot at freedom here can only please me
I'm coming up but it's rough
cause the scheme on the down
no they're try and hold your back but you don't hear me no

so Can you hear me?
hell yeah Lord we can hear ya
can you hear me
lord we can hear ya
so can you hear me
hell yeah Lord we can hear ya
can you hear me
lord we can hear ya
so can you hear me
hell yeah Lord we can hear ya
can you hear me
lord we can hear ya
so can you hear me
hell yeah Lord we can hear ya
can you hear me
lord we can hear ya

came a long way and now I'm out workin' on my own time
I made a choice
and now I'm makin' up my own mind
life ain't easy it's sleazy and unfair
they'll build you up
they'll tell you that they don't care
and they'll be times that you'll swear they put a spell on ya
your heart will bleed as you watch your homies bail on ya
folks so ruthless sinister and evil-hearted
it's not your problem but behold you're a new target
so when you figure you should keep it in perspective
it's either do it your way or forget it
so let 'em just watch you, mock you,
turn around and knock you
but never let 'em close enough to block you
and what you'll find is a mind full of pride and of self-might
gotta love a brother for his strength and insight
I'm only reeling I'm gonna say it if you don't know
you only hurt yourself but you don't hear me no

and so you said go to bed for your head
be a college grad lead for yourself and don't be led
it's not enough to hold on brother stay strong and righteous
if they plan to take us out then let 'em fight us
I'm building on my own if I must
just allow me to rap G
before the end I contend they'll respect me
now if I open up my rap I'll be labeled
call me what you will cause I'm young black and able
the days are over when I let the others down
you're either on my side or you're out-e
it's what I gotta do yes it's true cause I'm through with the mainstream
for something new I'm paying dues with my own team
so let it roll cause I'm bold and I'm coming with my rhyme cause it's time to let the funky drummer drum it
I want it all so I'm going for the gusto
cause anybody can but you don't hear me no
