lyrics

Introspect’s Verse:
You see I’m not behind bars, but instead I am delivering
Relief from the scars, there’s more bars then penitentiaries
But not talking bars in the sense of drinking brew
But these type of bars serve as an escape too

I hate the fact that my words are confined inside the stamp
'Cause we know that prisoners are mostly brown or black
So here I am another man just joining the statistic
But what if I use these bars and turn it into something different

Uplifting our people, uplifting our city
‘Cause truth be told the world right now aint nothing pretty
Strictly greed and material things
But all the things in the world won’t help your self-esteem

Pay attention to the lies, subliminally told
People In jail are not the only thing these bars hold
Record execs playing life like a game of chess
But it’s no stress to these artists as long as they get their checks
And I’m stressing out but not because I’m trying to write a hit
It’s because it’s only bullshit, reaching the kids
It’s unfortunate they say my generation is cursed,
Yet we have… 2 Chainz spitting a verse
And I’m not one to talk shit or to criticize
But I’m tired of MTV and the BET telling lies
Telling me, that these women are just bitches and hoes
Telling me to buy a chain 'cause I gotta floss my do’
But I disagree and turn my back to negativity,
Real recognize real wit y’all we’ll grow exponentially
Peace love and unity and having fun,
Repping the real essence till my time is done.
