Nobody's Smiling
(专辑: Nobody's Smiling - 2014)
[Common:] I'm from Chicago, nobody's smiling Niggaz wyling on Stoney Island Where the
chief and the
president come from Pop out, pop pills, pop guns On the
deck when the
ops come Pop some, ops run This ain't a
game nigga, ain't no options Niggaz sellin on the
block like an auction Dig into my pockets, see a
profit Where the
money and the
bitches is where the
gods is Godfathers in the
lodges, at the
spot Holdin money, like a
hostage She went ostrich.. from the
projects with posture I
draw with the
goddess like an artist Gettin paper with no margins, money gods I
do it for Hadiya and Trayvon Martin, yo [Common:] In the
Chi, ain't a
damn thing funny Thinkin of ways to get money Drive down Lake Shore, schemin how to make more If we ain't eatin together, what is this cake for? Ain't nobody givin it, that's what we take for Niggaz is broke, what I
need a
break for? Glaciers of ice, lasers and lice Let the
chains glow heavy, we paid for 'em twice Made for the
life, ball out like we out of bounds Bars and guns, niggaz got a
lot of rounds ..Trippin like you from out of town The
fo'-pound'll leave you on the
ground without a
sound Ain't no fathers 'round, +Sons of Anarchy+ Fightin attempts, trafficking, and grand larceny At the
party with the
thots with the
extra body I'm in the
inner city, it's an out-of-body.. experience [Malik Yusef:] Face on T-shirts with no #hashtags Just big-ass trash bags tagged hash Out here, shit been trill Fake-ass gangster, quick to take a
fag's cash Five versus six, Star Wars No stickers, real bullet holes in car doors Out of ten people that was shot, 7
ate 9's Two trey 8's, and one fo'-fives Tryna get to two-threes, the
numbers game Then here come the
fame, but they won't say no names Are these celebrities way too shy to be loyal to the
town? I
take my publishing check and spread my royalties around Popes, bishops, disciples, stones Counts, princes, lords, queens and kings They drillin on my land but ain't no oil to be found I
might be part of the
problem I
guess they just tryna prove they can back that shit up Most of them can't e'en moonwalk My lil' cousin Bump J
don't know what he did when he introduced that goon talk Is there a
Scarface castin at the
crib I
don't know about? So many shortys have tried out for the
role That's why he slide out and ride out with the
pole Now I
see how my daddy felt the
dark day he discovered that black power didn't keep the
lights on Right on, the
dearly departed still rappin to you Lookin for some yellow, white, red, black, brown flesh to write on How long will they mourn me after I'm out of mind, out of sight, gone A
crash, a
head-on collision affects both riders the
most G.O.O.D. Music in the
building Yeah we got ghost writers, they just actually ghosts
