Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel like everybody wants something from me
Yeah, tell me about it
It's a cold world out there
Sometimes I think I'm getting a little frosty myself
[Verse 2]
My shell, mechanical found ghost
But my ghetto is animal found toast
My shell, mechanical found ghost
But my ghetto is animal found toast
My shell, mechanical found ghost
But my ghetto is animal found toast
Animal found toast, but my ghetto, animal
[Verse 3]
Life's ill, sometimes life might kill
Vordul Mega, five digits grab mic, mic strike
Type ill
Is life real, yo Akhi builds
When life feels like Earth don't spin
Whirlwinds might blend
[Verse 4]
Life's at a standstill, dangerous 'cause man kills
And still cats visualize life ghetto-like
Born mind, sometime these cats see life
Street life in complete light, and be like
[Verse 5]
I'm a live life after this one crime
One line from the Megalah blow spine
Everyone knows the city's ill cats kill
Still black man hold nine
Gotta chill star, see Allah
[Verse 6]
Be the light of Shamar
Work hard, Shamar C-Cipher-Allah
Adapt bars, snatch stars and detach large channels
But out bar's handle might break mics
Vordul Megala the cannibal ate mics
Strive, live live, fuck five, I want a hundred and eight mics
[Verse 7]
Son, yo son, did you see that kid, yo
Yo, yo, chill out, man, chill out
Yo son, did you, yo son, he pulled it out
Keep your eyes open
[Verse 8]
Five digits cock biddy, nine milli
One floor shot silly, spun city, one verse hit milli
Little girls spinning curls three sixty
Living in a world shitty
Yo, they spun young earth, now shitty
[Verse 9]
And while 5-0 might shoot black head
****, sorry I sold spacesuits to crackheads
D.T. operate mechanically, po-po in slow mo
Black kids locked away, add a key
Plus one fourth pound of smoke flow
[Verse 10]
While lock head Fabian, Ahmed Arabian
Laying in Bodeg, holding drama AK
Spoke like as- salaam-a OK
Choking vodka mixed with O.J.
Wig splits mad quick, spinning three six oh wave
[Verse 11]
C4 blew the door
Number eight, summer fate, tank top with a knot
Number nine said run the place
[Verse 12]
Took my girl, stereo, CD, plus the tape
Yo star, don't wet that, fuck her face, lets
Jet back to Santa Cruz, Californ-I-A
[Verse 13]
Peace to C-God, locked up, cat born nine ways
Come home mad soon, live ill, life phases, like
Little black girl got shot
Damn it hurts when the spun earth filled with knots
Gonna make a difference so we get locked
Caught in the shit and losing what we got
Come on black equal, equal
[Verse 14]
Do you know that you are one of the few
Predator species
That preys even on itself
[Verse 15]
And if there's crack in a basement
Crackheads stand adjacent
Anger displacement, food stamp arrangement
You were a stillborn baby
Mother didn't want you, but you were still born
[Verse 16]
Boy meets world, of course his pops is gone
What you figga?
That chalky outline on the ground is a father figure?
So he steps to the next stencil, that's a hustler
Infested with money and diamond cluster
[Verse 17]
Let's talk in laymen terms, rotten apples and big worms
Early birds and poachers
New York is evil at its core, so those who have
More than them
Prepare to be victims
[Verse 18]
Ate up by vultures, the politicians
In a dog eat dog culture, that'll sick em
Lack of mineral we take it personal
A pigeon can't drop shit if it never flew
[Verse 19]
Every day is no frills, empty krills
Broken 40 bottles and MCs with skills
I rest my head on 115
But miracles only happen on 34th, so I guess life is mean
[Verse 20]
And death is the median
And purgatory is the mode that we settle in (No doubt)
I've got that Eve's Bayou sense of touch
So I fought to touch every hand of a fan to read their thoughts
[Verse 21]
Battered wives, molested children
Roaches on the floor, rats in the ceiling
Cats walk around New York with two fillings
One is in their mouth, the other does the killing
I'm vast Aire, Kramer, top billing
