Raw Bounce

Verse 1

Every time that I write I feel compelled to sight/ all the steps that I took form the left to the right/from school yard fights 2 singin 4 Christ/livin a raw life just to keep on the lights/ hunger pains no ends kept me out all night/with a bottle of O.E. and a spliff to light cause I aint see a purpose 4 a kid like me/ pockets with holes old clothes n wack sneaks/ all the cool kids in class always pickin on me/ I mean, I mean until I dropped they cool ass in the street/ no chips in my bag no bets on me /no love no congrats jus drags n bookbags/ a board to skate pass the past of my bad's/ like billboard ads or a hundred yard dash/ but now I’m in the runnin like a hundred yard stash/ loving how i'm living under God’s Compass/ told me to rebel with the pad and the pen/ and now I’m on tracks spittin facts like flem

Chorus rap:

Whether ya young or old u gotta go 4 yours If u could endure Then the world is yours Know ya spirit is pure Then the worlds is yours No time to depend on the words of men Self-Love is kin to making things happen so jus listen up my man don’t forget No matter the conflict The world is yours t he world is who? the world is yours

Chorus singing in the back round:

Just take me to that place Where my whole mind blanks Just ink, just ink, just ink just ink x2

Verse 2:

Had a momma and a poppa who was junkie workaholics/ never seen them like Osama/ hit me hard then a drummer/ in the streets like a sauna get it hot up in the summer/ escape in my slumber no heart like hunter/ prolific hieroglyphic kicking' street life drama/ cant deny the speech from here or out yonder/ father once know as a wild motherfucker/ gun buck ya in the bar taking dollars from ya mother/while, my mother worked hard just to get a little supper/ hot rice and butter for that I aways love her/ message in the action couldn’t see when I was younger/ growth in the spirit with knowledge like splinta/ master that is/ i'm a grown ass kid/ laughin at everything /happiness is kin/ well happynes is kin when graspin your dreams/ so gimme drum loops n scoops of raw beats
