Racism on television and magazines Paying taxes so soldiers don't run out of magazines, goddamn Country don't give a fuck who I am Just a youngin' on the rise with a mic in my hand And I am, here's to the Roc The .45 Glock that my older brother pop—shot And I am, finally on top; too high up, not a drop Stop, we gettin' guap, gettin' guap I am, livin' like I ain't got it Spit the flow so robotic, man, who gives a fuck about it? Maryland 'til I die, but had to get the fuck up out it I love it and hate it, you probably don't know, man, I doubt it
