One mans trash is another man's treasure/ 
but most men treasure what other men have/ 
so little thrown away to the many that will never/
grasp what few view as pennies in the grass/ 
& underneath the grass are the roots of inequality/ 
creating all the bumps [bad word] across on the path/
& I don't have a green thumb & neither niggas/ 
& having a money tree is a luxury of class/ 
the only ho I know for a flattering [bad word]  
& when I asked could she dig it, she looked at me & laughed/ 
so we crabs in a barrel & barrel glass/ 
so we broke, crack was the answer to cash/ 
but the question was never asked/ 
how I get off the path/ 
steady walking within a maze the was built in the last/
century, eventually we'll raise our hands/ 
but the teacher is apart of the scam, god [bad word]  

 [bad word] 
 Got me looking for a way out, a way out, [bad word] down a fire escape to to get away/ 
got me looking for a way in, a way, way in/ 
got me looking at your doors & your windows/ 

 I'm a product of the environment that I was brought up in/ 
material things I'm caught up in/ 
hustling, a product that creates the production/ 
a plus then for for shackles that resemble circumference/ 
my world, my word, [bad word] from my block/
right into your wall, street/ 
that when I see up close is just prop/
designed to keep me cropped/ 
outside of the picture that pictures the people in defeat/ 
so i'ma cook the books like [bad word] bonfire/ 
& tell uncle Sam I forgot the recite/ 
& he gon call me a liar & I'm gon call him a thief/ 
the jury looking like him enjoying looking at me/
at my arraignment screaming/ 
all is blacks got is sports & entertainment & a belief in/ 
religion as the answer for the grieving/ 
believing that the bless get test/ 
& the less get even/ 

 [bad word] 

 [bad word] away from trouble got [bad word] into you/  [bad word] away from darkness got [bad word] into view/ [bad word] towards all the lights got [bad word] from blue & whites/  [bad word] for you by day hope [bad word] into you by night/  [bad word] for an election [bad word] the country for who/  [bad word] & tell the news that [bad word] it for something [bad word]  [bad word] it into the [bad word] it into the tomb/  [bad word] it until there's [bad word] it until we lose/
