Stop the Ratin
Go ahead and keep hatin, debatin, negotiatin. Well for me homeboy, no care, no conversatin. C'mon now man, I'll never be fake, no changin, rotatin. I stay skatin, while y'all stay consumed, doomed...hatin. Hate on, I'm too on, no swirvin, I stay straight within. Your ratin, wavin, and ravin, like your savin? Fool, no grins, no friends, shh, can't tell me nothin, no listenin. I just got it, keep the room true, well lit. You are bad, like a sin. Common with many men. So grim. Dim. Through struggles, obstacles endless...days out, days in. I leave it in God's grip...leave it up to him...give him a true joyful nod, and in return, see him with the biggest grin. I stand in my own zone, build my own fencin, controllin..who I let in. So keep actin...flexin..falsely impressin. I'm glowin, Rollin, strongly flowin, your a common trend, a broken, weak limb. I'm learnin, never burnin, button stays automatic...well lit, cruisin, never losin. No followin, only cautiously differentiatin, all in, to win, never to pretend, true being written within. All the while, y'all fake ones, are delay in, bruisin, busy hatin. STOP THE RATIN.....HATIN...STAY REAL WITHIN....LIKE TRUE LAUGHTER TO A GRIN. NEVER CONTEMPLATIN...GODS FATE IN...CLASSIC LIKE THE OLD ROOF MADE OF TIN...SOUND GLISTENIN...WHEN ITS POURIN RAININ... I AM A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAN WITHIN. STOP THE RATIN.......
