The Willie Lynch Letter
There isn't a cheat code to life
its a privilege, not a right
Some people can't read
its a privilege for me to write
so many people face time
And in prison you can't Skype
Black on black is the reason
Statistics we can't fight
We kill ourselves
so the jails are filled wit the Willie lynches
Bars on a white canvas
Couldn't paint a better picture
Luke 6 31
I couldn't quote a better scripture
croc gets the praise
though the brown is the better liquor
Ha .. Think about
It ain't no way around
We drowning
And we trying to come up
But we surrounded
The struggles that we have because color become compounded
No matter what your position
Obama is even doubted
So ... how does that make you feel?
I ain't a shrink though
But im pretty sure that it makes you're confidence
Shrink though
to them we become useless
unless you can make a free throw
We can make a profit if he can rhyme to a beat though
And us
We fall right into the trap
The drug trade is a trap
And us niggas are just the rats
The scientists behind it all
Are the ones that invented crack
But losing our lives for it
We the ones invented that
So the question I propose
Is how do you get it back
When the ones that can change it
are more concerned wit a rack
They spend there time talking bout backs
instead of renewing the blacks
If we could all come together
they cant Willie lynch... that
See, Money changes men
But I’m a man of my word
and word is
I’m colder then homeless up on the curb
The homeless that hear my word
decide to get off the curb
Cause I profess
That chasing your dreams isn't absurd
And reaching them isn't unheard of
My pastor taught me that even a sinner deserves love
So who am I to judge um
And who are you to judge me?
only GOD can and he covers me like a snuggie
He gave me a brain to fill
And I’m filling it like a buggie
I’m grooming it like a hubby
Dedication gives me satisfaction
If you don't love it
I’m following the footsteps of no man
A nomad
I made my own pattern, no clothing
That's why they sew mad
But I wouldn't of made it without a pen and a notepad
My writing is on college
But I’m trying to make it post grad
Trying to power forward
So I got to make dis post pass
I’m all about progression
and effort will equal growth man
I’m steady getting better
I'm on a positive slope man
Its hard to get noticed
When you spit positive quotes damn
You got Lupe's that's paving the way
But its COMMEN sense to call her b**ch
If that’s how you gone get paid
its natural not to be TALIB
If you just trying to get laid
And MOS DEF you got to kill people
Just to get praise
And if not you erased
from the mainstream era
If you know you’re history
its called the Willie lynch letter.
