Lyrics

Articulate

I was made by the same lust, the slave chains and cuffs

Jacked off on the corporate ladder and 'came up'

Inherently the games fucked, that's why I research historical data

Since niggas don't read...I recite entire Almanacs for career car jackers

Far blacker than the NAACP, who am I? the mc

Make matters worst, the ravenous thirst

For money power and respect til my bladder and abdomen burst

Comprende? Amistad Pt. 2 like if I was Sinke

Rockin flooded accessories that's 10k

Still obsessed with the cream

And you don't know? the N.W.O. ain't just a wrestling team?

Thats trill shit, from street life to revolution

And when they revoke the constitution, I'm one of the first niggas they executin'

This iron fist ina velvet glove

Still not givin a fuuuck, Articulate Thugs whaaa

Articulate Thugs..

Sex, techs, money and drugs

We Articulate Thugs..

Illuminati jesuits, and GS Lexus'

For dead presidents when the justice system is prejudiced

Verse 2(my fav ras verse)

God's most beloved urban scholar

Catch me chillin with killas and sharpshooters

Quick to put more pumps in your chest than the Heimlich manuever

Illest mendula, cause only Slick Rick and 12 inches is the ruler, doolah

Supreme mathematics, with bad habits, civilized savage

Decarte the duality of man

Performing black magic on black sabbath

Stack cabbage, a man is not to famish, or vanish

When 4,000 inmates on death row and half of em' black tragic

Crack addicts, psychological damage, and a few dead??

Its by magic, and media stop, tryna make me what I'm not

Just cuz I know history, doesn't make the everyday hustle stop

Fool, I spit that slammer grammar

Leave the teachin to KRS and leave the preachin to Rev. Run and Hammer

Who walk with a limp and talk with a twang

Then philosophize like information is evacuatin' his brain?

Cuz real niggas still do real thangs

(where my dogs at) knockin over banks like the Doberman gang(true)

Young thug, young thug, young thug, young thug, young thug

Articulate Thugs..

Sex, techs, money and drugs

We Articulate Thugs..

Illuminati jesuits, and GS Lexus'

For dead presidents when the justice system is prejudiced

I'm like the Holy Qu'ran wrapped in a penthouse magazine cover

Ghetto Farrakhan, hood archeologist and a polygamist

Cuz I be gettin' more ass than a proctologist

But I acknowledge it, I...do the opposite

Like keep me on some rider shit

Cuz for my seed, this shit I gotta get

Selling politics, capitalism requires money, I'm materialistic

So I want a lot of it; fuck living moderate, wifey want some Prada shit

Represent L.A-leezy, the homies sag, khakis, wallabees and rags

To New York where Arabs(sand niggas) will not let a young black man in they cab

So I'm naturally mad but then actually sad

Thank god for makin hell and thank satan the government goin'

For pimpin the poor, and we not knowin why we ho'n

Fuck it, it be like that, I'm a G like that

If worst come to worst I'll flip a Ki like that

Articulate Thugs..

Sex, techs, money and drugs

We Articulate Thugs..

Illuminati jesuits, and GS Lexus'

For dead presidents when the justice system is prejudiced
