Broke +-

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Can I do my shiznit? Can I be specific?

Can I chase this grip without lookin' too big for my britches?

Am I too prolific? The vision, my pugilistic moods insisted

Food come from them tools, he's so choose to use

Now Harriet Tubman say she freed a thousand slaves

Could've freed a thousand more if they was aware of the chains

What's under the rugs remaining unexplained, truth is mostly taboo

Even when it's starin' back at you like an enemy tattoo

Refusin' to play the statue, I take action, without quittin'

Until I reach my point of satisfaction, not givin' a crap what happens

I'm just a part of a winnin' family, call me Marlon Jackson

As I'm workin' hard to get my spin right

Morphine and novacane dull the pain, still don't change the diagnos'

Pessimistic thoughts, curin' the bricks, we tryna find some hope

Most my counterparts be feeling the same, give me a light, let's smoke

You either chasin' this dirty money, or living righteous broke

[Chorus]

B is for the blood, R is for the ropes

O is for oppression, K is for the kush, need it just to cope

E is for the evolution, it's for this resolution

Now have you ever been broke, sick of forever losin'?

[Verse 2]

The damage is done but who's to blame? Finger pointin', namin' names

Nobody willin' to pay that full admission to ride the gravy train

Death is a part of life, happens daily, gotta face the pain

I be limpin' through it with lacerations, both my ankles sprained

Can't rely on politics or that 1 percent to gain power

Daily givin' kibbles to let 'em own your life for 8 hours

Poison get to waters, make it hard, safely take showers

Nobody put in place to keep it straight so now we slang powder

Chasin' paper, aimin' lasers at the opposition

Can't play with these streets and say you positive, it's a contradiction

I ain't have no pot to piss in, had to make some tough decisions

Tired of dealin' with these broke conditions, listen

[Chorus]

B is for the blood, R is for the ropes

O is for oppression, K is for the kush, need it just to cope

E is for the evolution, it's for this resolution

Now have you ever been broke, sick of forever losin'?
