Having Nothin'

(앨범: A Martyr's Reward - 2021)

Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything
Having nothing gave me everything I need
Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything
Having nothing gave me everything I need

It was on as baby, the longing made me, never take it short
Was fist and face up, no kiss and make up, it made us fought
Pounds of pop 'round the clock, down the block only brave could walk
Born with hate within, walls paperthin, can hear the neighbors talk
I was draped with doubt, how to make it out, my favorite thought
Was never no juice, wanted better produce, they was craving pork
Wake up days with means to spit, my razor clean the way it's taught
From bottom line, drew outside the line, few mind got traced in chalk
That's a bad man, blessed with bad hands 'cause no cases caught
Would have no bucks, stole much 'cause it's harder to take support
Everywhere taking flames, ain't playing games, the race is sport
Peep the system, my people victim to guns, dope, base and snort

Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything
Having nothing gave me everything I need
Having nothing gave me everything

Lived the plight of knight so I be buried king
Surviving in the hiving was a steady sting
Them Brooklyn fights, never took it light, bought the heavy thing
As tykes, not the type to scare, only from icy air
We would shiver, my heat would see my hip, see the street, see the river
So much fun and games, till someone aims, squeeze the trigger
The figures we pursue, if it came down to me and you
The planet would advantage, cause there's no me and you
Plain in the flesh, trained to express what I see and do
Carpe diem 'till the mausoleum, I'm just being true

Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything
Having nothing gave me everything I need
Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything
Having nothing gave me everything I need, word

Destroy all lines, that's what I'm doing

How long do you think you'll do it?

Till I'm finished
