Pusher Man: BWI

(Fanatix) let me just talk, huh Stuck between a rock and a hard place Stones in my timepiece, please don't watch face This room got elephants in it, tough crowd, long day Can't please everybody, can't trust anybody This game wasn't ready for me Still got some readies for me It's cool, man, I'm ready for it Path wasn't steady for me, I walk different Ain't code-switching, I talk different Revolutionary, my thoughts different You man are old spice with the horse missing Fucked up my transmission, waiting to transition Lost in translation while feeding the damn nation You really think the change were free? The same kind of pain that you came to see? Well, I put a stack up on my trauma, 'cause my trigger finger itch Chatty patty on the plate, I had to make a meal of it Pick another brave face, start my day and deal with it Think they want another hit and I'm the dealer Pusher man, I'm your pusher man (pusher man) Pusher man, I'm your pusher man (pusher man) Pusher man, I'm your pusher man (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yo) Pusher man, pusher-pusher man (yeah-yeah-y, uh, whoa) If he got it for twenty, I could get it for ten Connected to the plug and not a friend of a friend Too many middlemen and now the pot gettin' thin What's another butterfly to a pimp? The plot thickens Aeroplane mode, I'm ignorin' every phone call It's poppin' when it's poppin', when it's not then they don't know, yo Still a dirty fella, when I'm spittin' I got no rules Of course them want a seat at the table, I got no room Spot me when I'm local, salute me when I'm global Hate me out loud, I can't hear you at that volume I think the agents wanted pop hits, but this ain't that You ain't been around the fiends to tell me this ain't crack Now the room smells fishy like the cling don't wrap Man, you really think they lived those raps? Always wondered how it gets like that 'til it gone like that Think they want another hit and I'm the dealer Pusher man, I'm your pusher man (your pusher man) Pusher man, I'm your pusher man Pusher man, I'm your pusher man Pusher man, pusher-pusher man My mother's voice always felt like home But eventually you're outside, on your own The scariest thing about raising a boy is Learnin' when you become a man That target on your back is a little bit more permanent than a tattoo You have to learn quick, real quick Nothing more dangerous than a black man with intelligence Even worse when he got some relevance They give drugs to my people, eternally left 'em fucked They like you better when you sell a bit You ain't a boss if you ain't never got your hands dirty Good with the .15, your honor gave a man thirty I just paint a picture like I'm Stan and Kirby Not like I ain't did it, I just did it early Before the camera phones, certain yutes were never certi' Before the therapy, a trauma that was reoccurring Felt the energy around me, tryna switch and curse me Only family in my will, I write that shit in cursive You're lucky I'm a different person I was cleaning up my act while you were still rehearsing All that slick talk ain't rich talk I knew gangstas moved in silence when I was piss-poor On the road to success, the stress a pitstop Once I got me some money, my bitch was hip-hop And she look pretty now When we're walking down the aisle, I pray we diddy-bop I tried to leave the game, but it cost a lot They always tell you, "Read the small print" They said, "Love is free until you're getting dropped" Used to be family, now we're orphans Shit was all good just a week ago And shit was looking pretty just a deal ago Swervin' out the dealership, looking like a ton of gold Feeling like I sold my soul before I even touched the roads Ends is unfamiliar, now I gotta come and go Used to have a couple bros, united by a common goal Plantin' seeds of doubt like they didn't want to see me grow Think I worked this hard to stay the same then I can't keep you close I know too much And there's nothing more dangerous Than a black man with intelligence Especially with some relevance
