Alotta Pressure

My ride suicide/

my life suicide/

my mantra do or die/

my side west side of chi/

That's alotta pressure that's alotta pressure/

 

Focus you Taurus/

rained thru the sheets its porous/

had her yelling Diaw Boris/

all the way to the chorus/

who got that new Kenny they hoarding/

no one been this sick since Lauryn/

literally/

bout to check mi self into rehab I'm feeling it g/

pillow case full of pop rocks/

poured coked in the nostrils n mi bed room/

whole place exploded veins were loaded/

models were groping me what a wet dream/

I feel I can't wake outta my sleep/

all mi detractors keep appearing in my dreams/

all mi detractors upset when I do well/

how you really feel deep down do tell/

traded my car for a sunset/

i roared to the rays are you done yet/

i just want this day over/

cuz mañana Ima rent a bulldozer n crush all your clovers/

buenos noches to your good luck/

too long I felt stuck like oh shucks/

we moving on/

 

I don't care bout yo theatrics/

or any of your wishy washy tactics/

I feel like trump don't pay taxes/

yet still elected how backwards that is/

I feel like trump demean women/

I feel like trump so my opinion/

as trump is away w the Mexican/

but I still want mi tequila as they exit/

cristo turn water into wine/

mess around I'll turn yo monkey ass into swine/

here sweet here sweet in mi passenger seat/

be mi veep and a secret to keep/

peachy like princess/

hit the southside touch all the sisters like incest/

was an ass man but I been breast/

it's now my thing cuz on them I rest/

Austin in the house/

Lawndale in the crib no fib/

we high class doctor pepper no pib/

baby here you chug no sip/

As I digest I might sex/

a pretty brunette in a tight dress/

a tigress I digress/

we don't regress homie try this/

City of God

There were rosaries on the floor/

bodies by the door/

everyone knelt to they knees/

'twas time for Friday's feast/

we been fasting all week/

it was time to make peace/

it was time to take a piece/

spent the next weekend drinking/

 

Who's city is it/

the lord savior please save us/

we were trapped w the vagrants/

but we know what our place is/

I heard it's lined w gold/

I heard no man is poor/

I heard no child is hungry/

make you think god must not love me/

 

If i if I had a tablet/

w a chisel I'd ask where your ass went/

no boobs they drained so soon/

no one listened tho my point is moot/

it's a shame everyone looking for food/

when god put plenty in the living room/

even made a swimming pool w lil swimmers/

we can gut n cook dinner but we perish like all the sinners/

we turned into ginsu/

knives cut threw that thick layer of bullshit/

if I spoke Hindu I wouldn't be closer/

mi English is sposed to piss em off more so/

I'll learn español so I can hop on the boat/

that trump's volunteered to make sure floats/

n we can go to a more flourishing depot/

you don't want us here I know/

 

As they bomb Aleppo/

I'm going let's go leave America shores/

could it possibly get worst/

the greatest country on earth n we bitching to the dirt/

all this lifting of skirts/

all these bitches getting revealed learning to heel/

roll over play dead for we make it permanent/

having each other's back is purtitant/

I dunno what I would do if I didn't have the west side of Bethlehem/

and all them mans/

and all this frankincense and mur/

the birth was a blur the death was by murder/

the rebirth was a concern lead to more murder/

and pain in the name/

all this faith in vain stop yo complaints/

step outta your lane stop faith in vane/

Guadalupe It

Cut it chop it lady of Guadalupe it/

make that ish sound sicker than breast cancer or lupus/

I created the blueprint they stole it n built a mansion/

my architecture is here it's something I won't abandon/

how many ripped me off and masqueraded as original/

a Halloween costume should be me how criminal/

this ain't no subliminal more like a you're welcome/

if I was Yahweh plagues n frogs I would pelt em with/

like a virgin I never felt em/

like an artist don't get mi credit/

when I die from a self inflicted gun wound in the middle of a farm/

w mi ear severed swearing that I meant no harm/

maybe you'll extend your arm maybe you'll stop being a plebe/

ya dweeb pardon me I'll never bow to mi knees/

you got the wrong kong I don't fall from the empire/

there's no top floor I always reach higher/

sire mi nombre giant as Andre/

cooler than Ponce competition is donde/

donde high beams foggy/

my reign continues its soggy/

 

King Kenny king Kenny kong Johnson/

king of fresh air took a breath was unresponsive/

was taunted was haunted was a bad dream whisperer/

kicked the ghost of jealousy mile high in Denver/

September was the coldest month this winter/

I remember January unleashed mi embers/

when I'm pissed you will feel dry weather will yield/

hurricanes will spill dams will be built/

in my honor will be quilts will be swords mace n shields/

made of the finest steel like Shaquille O'Neal/

championship after championship/

flood the Amistad that ain't a champion ship/

so slick it's a BP oil spill/

all these blacks in Louisiana still/

we ain't run you out yet/

how can we get them in debt

 

King Kenny king head of thorns/

king leave em running like blood out the door/

king feed the poor more knowledge more power to ya/

more odd movements but yet more balance to ya/

more recognition of your talents/

more diversity for ya ballots/

more of a way to sway to gods palace/

we can be fly when we graduate to afterlife/

so when I die don't cry I'll let the clouds cover my eulogy/

cuz I spread across the land fairly n truly/

bullishly run thru cell blocks/

pardon my fam watch no hell on my watch/

I just wanna see happiness spread/

we been left for dead they tried to rip our hearts to shreds/

but we persevered n became what they revere/

so cheers

Faith in Vain

Can I tell the truth about Maxi/

we were 15 years old/

can I tell the truth about Maxi/

2 quid n she'll blow/

follow me these bumbaclot running outta luck/

shucks 2 bucks bets trench town/

get down wave yo Jamaica flags/

Kingston inna the crib I'm inna ya ribs/

so maxi I enter da crib n see what it is/

another wilding out black kid/

that's it she remember when I was skinny well skinnier/

her mama invite me dinner but I ain't feeling her/

I always felt my sister was a lil too loose/

always staying open like a moonroof/

a full moon transformed these baboons/

we change our attitude and started grinding at noon/

n she was twerking n nude n I'm certain mi shoes is worn out/

maybe that's why she did what she did/

felt her future was none brighter then dim/

that's how we grease the tracks n start to skid/

 

She used to trick 2 kids at 17/

6 months later tits dragged down to her knees/

but she still was pretty to me oh my taste/

I mean we go back all the way to myspace/

n there were a few times that I caved/

but I let excuses get in the way/

like mi mama need help or I gotta study for math/

when you knew n I knew no matter what I barely pass/

there was the time I had mi condom halfway on mi shaft/

but it wouldn't roll down that was the end of that/

so she let other men smash not kids I mean men/

these dudes was in they 20s n we was just kids/

she used to bring em to the dance to make me jealous as shit/

they used slap on her ass they used to grab her tits/

could you blame this kid for wishing that she was his/

mi crush since 15 how we end up like this/

I'd rather lie in a ditch than have to be a witness/

I'd rather stay in the trench then hit the battlefield again/

I'd rather stay in the distance n watch you raise your kids that/

coulda been mine now u off my wishlist/

No Food

So we got no food/

can I snack on snack on snack on you/

I'm beyond that mood/

 

2 weeks on a horse w no nombre/

sauntering w mi hombres/

hot as heck beads o sweat/

got mi forehead drenched getting quenched ain't a cinch/

I'm in a pinch been hanging dry off a cliff/

for more than a wink mirage every blink/

what do it take to make me freak/

or weak in the knees till mi love is pouring/

took you for granted now mi mind soaring/

you probably sleeping peacefully snoring/

I'm ordering could you deliver to me/

here's the tip of mi dick take it to the bank chick/

a blank check been the payments/

been a peasant n a vagrant now I'm changing/

only if you lemme in to put it in laymens/

ain't no part o me playing/

 

If I if I touch your heart/

is that a start to how we make art/

can we build an ark will you be my plus one/

conjunction junction luv yo functions/

full course meal more than just something to munch on/

get rolling pins ain't nada bunching up/

I'm looking for a full stretch/

falling in luv is that farfetched/

each kiss more wet than carmex/

what's for din din then is it Tex mex/

Tex Avery characters ain't even this savory/

I 'tot I saw a pussy and big delicious mammories/

take care o me/

whisk me like Christmas caroling/

a distant land w heroin/

you nicotine you all the above/

 

I wanna be yo canary/

your therapist masseuse secretary/

lay on mi pad up in mi pad/

our time of the month w o the pad/

it'd be so sad if I close mi eyes in an empty sack/

tonight I'd feel like a quarterback w no line/

just got lined up babe it's showtime/

I'm magic in his prime/

you prime rib you the best cut/

you fulfilling I ain't asking who's next up/

make a killing when you flex butt twerk it on mi lap/

got me saying oowee nena throw it back/

I'm shooting made you look/

my movements made Putin read mi book/

this is the Kremlin Halloween Ima gremlin/

can't you see the resemblance while I'm beating the kitten/

Chicago USA 

 

I been all across the globe I ain't never felt love like this before/

ain't never felt that soul from head to toe/

you ain't down for the cause then you gots to go/

let the wind blow ya out don't let the door hit ya/

show respect this was here before ya/

it'll be when ya gone or decide to move on/

cuz you figured it was more than just a groupon/

this ain't Disney this is whitney/

pretty but under the nails is gritty/

a man that was born in this chi city/

made me n now what was I is we/

no one compares in this country/

the westside always keep me company/

I hit my lowest lows I got somewhere to go/

god bless thanks for keeping 100 Joe/

 

Maybe we don't fit yo style maybe we a lil too wild/

maybe we a lil too culture fo ya podunk ass/

why not go back where ya came from/

nothing's worse than this lil curse/

Americans incur where they feel they better/

doing menial things that any color/

can do as well kill ya self/

what was the point of all that education

just let your whole life go to waste it's/

shameless back of the yards know

nothing but pride in Chicago/

yell southside yell westside

we keep it left right/

mi cousins mi nephews mi niece n mi uncle/

mi tia mi abuela mi hermana y mi novia/

 

 

Two Hands

It takes 2 hands to clap/

2 souls to give dap 2 participants to combat/

takes 2 blacks to have black on black/

to initiate contact so stop that/

takes 2 blacks to start a revolution/

n spark the change from the institution/

takes 2 blacks to hang from tree/

to wake you I see emergency/

 

Can I get 2 hands wa do dem wa do dem/

a scam is this land quick sand/

I'm dammed like trapped water 2 shotters n spotters/

wack a mole n these otters whole life dishonest/

had pride then pawned it died n re spawned n/

tried to change in a violent rage/

that night we hang we used to bang/

refused the chains broke from a slave/

mentality rewashed now back to same/

am I sposed to be normal am I sposed to conform to/

lower forms of this world you don't seem to get it/

no matter how I much I spit it I'll never be acquitted/

a bad man how dare you reach for the fabled/

promised land lye your head back on that table/

off w yo cabeza scoff at yo appraisal/

2 shots to naval hopefully it's fatal/

 

Can I get 2 hands wa do dem wa do dem/

a scam is this land quick sand/

a quick hand could pick n dip man/

a quick man could glance n stick man/

a sharp man knows our plan has sharpened/

knows jargon and has friends that's spartan/

probably 300 of dem ready to part w/

these earthly belongings is that shocking/

the things we value are valueless/

I'm tryna take us higher where the Valium is/

where the powder is where the ticket to numb mi soul/

they beat us down many generations cold/

I heard those who seen struggle no/

tell me what I can n can't feel this is real yo/

how can we walk away when you step on toes/

how can we function when you turned us vegetable/

 

Blood on my tongue spit it in the cup/

I sat it on mi girls ass CULO is a must/

shake your ass for the revolution damn the institution/

all this collusion n confusion/

if I had mi a crystal ball I got 2 of em/

grab em n make a wish oh you cute huh/

I'm sposed to sit n get beat turn a cheek/

till they Rosie as peach or so to speak/

maybe we need more THC in el agua/

drugs is the vacancy/

so Elvira remind the ghost of Frankenstein/

how to get to mi frequency/

n remain enlightened frequently/

if you believe you can achieve so take a peak at me/

so every piccany from west side to Piccadilly/

to every favela your life ain't vanilla and you ain't a killa you're lovely/

 

What do you tell a kid who can't afford education/

what's your option to all my drug babies/

crime attempt to rhyme/

hit 3 pointers or sprint for yo life/

it's a got damn shame that's how we conditioned/

if you ain't entertaining yo life ain't worth shit kid/

shave yo head be afraid of dreads/

black is ugly that's what they said/

you unemployable cuz you proud of your soul/

clean yourself up be better than them no/

ever thought how Africa could really be/

if we built them countries/

instead we were shipped but face it this ours too/

you should be proud to wave the flag dude/

I will the red stripes represent the blood from mi people/

all that just to be equal/

Hello Heaven

What do we live for what do we die for/

do we survive do we try what do we strive for/

if all it is is to take another breath/

I need to rethink this whole life set up/

when you ball so hard in your hands/

n they cupping your face you on your ass can't stand/

when you walk into church n you can only hold your head/

when it burns n u slipping deeper into that sand/

I gotta say/

hello heaven/

I bet you'll never open up lately I been questioning faith/

n wondering what's the point as I been going insane/

as I been carrying weight as my wings have been clipped/

while in sulfur I'm dipped as I'm bleeding w crips/

as each moment ticks n I stumble in pits/

I don't understand a thing God you notice it/

 

My life my life is filled w strife/

I've lived I've died I've laughed I've cried/

I've wondered why oh why/

I live this lie/

two three days go by/

heartbeat won't stop/

try

 

Is it bout money is it bout letting it rain/

are my days sunny does the rain ever abstain/

are my friends cool are they going outta they brain/

can I help a bit or do I just turn the other way/

is my girl getting every purse she ever ask/

am I paying comed on time/

when I cry do it matter are my hands God/

if I cup mi head does He feel every sob/

does He watch the unemployed n guide them to jobs/

does He walk by our side when we fall/

is He the blind mans cane is He the sinks drain/

does He flush afflictions wish them good riddance/

is He the kitchen full of soup it is/

a thought I'm thinking every thanksgiving/

does He look out for us in the land of Lincoln/

you set us free but then you gave us crucifixion/

 

A loss a gain I'm off again/

i cough the pain of novocaine/

my charity is therapy/

another breath is scaring me/

i tried to let it wash away/

ignore the calls to fade/

hello heaven hello heaven will you open your gates/

hello heaven hello heaven shall I turn away/

The Movie

Can I please give you some whiny bullshit/

I think it would benefit us both/

can I attempt to sabotage this relationship/

it's goin a lil smoothly ya know/

look at me look away/

do you keep getting attracted to mi face is it magnetized/

the impact on yo life can't be minimized/

I basically created I don't sympathize/

if one day I up n left would you cease to exist- probably/

once I split/

if you fell in the forest n no one was around to hear ya boo hoo/

no one would hear you ya Yoo-hoo/

no matter even if ya bled like soo woo/

you got boo coo emotions so I'm toasting/

Comedy Central roasting did you notice/

I bounced cuz u bogus you ain't my FLOTUS/

you ain't the Michelle to mi Barry/

you more that chick JFK married where's Marilyn/

for the perilous that are scared of this/

no wonder he ain't hit marriage yet/

 

Can I please give you some whiny bullshit/

I think it would benefit us both/

can I attempt to sabotage this relationship/

it's goin a lil smoothly ya know- wink wink/

why everyone ask why I'm moody/

why every cop I pass I envision he gon shoot me/

why I feel uncomfortable sitting in the movies/

why I choose to vacation in the boonies/

why everyone wanna holla at my babe/

got God I must got great taste/

ever since I breaked w that one let's not bring her up/

delving into the ugliest parts of the scum/

that couldn't get washed clean in the tub that's my past/

that used to be my ass but you can have it bruh/

just know I tag everything/

when you done w Kenny you never really/

and every next man gon forever feel me- feel me/

I'm catholic priest guilty/

banging the nuns it's all in good fun/

life under the sun under the sun/

 

If my life is a movie then I envision myself being played/

once again once again/

why I can't I rewind this tape/

am I safe am I safe/

am I insane am I tame/

have I changed will I ever be the same/

 

Put mi on Netflix Hulu/

the fruit of mi life like juju/

that's bad juju get you a voodoo doll/

you can be like all mi exes n send me hexes/

we split like brexit Messi/

like Lionel but I knew my direction/

when everyone questions I answer to cancer/

to pisces twice to Gemini/

if it's a lie then I die in the afterlife/

as well all these twitches casting they spells/

all these bitches gasping like hell/

laughed when I fell/

moved on w my successor/

shattered all mi pictures on the dresser/

took 2 weeks to find out who was the lessor/

what a mistake sent me a ledger/

I don't respond to the past if I did this long I wouldn't have last/

people tryna make a splash/

n mad dash back to what we had but what we had/

has been fragged/

sad but life goes on/

kiss on the rose adios/

the only remnant of you left is this prose/

and no mo'

The Ocean

Coming from the Chi it be Do or Die

tornadoes of flow or should I call it Tongue Twista/

going up n down the streets of Gotham leave you haunted like the joker

or should I say the riddler/

pitter patter of snow in 40 below

toes froze thru my shell toe winter coming hell no/

winters coming -

pain in abundance 13 yr old blood running/

west side thuggin' south side got the drive bys

all I can say is welcome to old Chi bitch/

so now we gotta change it cause today's kids growing up w same anger

it never changes

so I'm thanking lord Jesus for keeping me here this long

sanity intact thank God for this bong/

the rips long same dance n song

if a chance came along we woulda been long gone/

what a beautiful city ruined by terrorism

thug negros discouraging squarism/

when you think outside the box to a rectangle

has it ever come to your mind you still confined/

the only shapes we know ovals circles

to mi unborn I've already hurt you/

did I do that yes you did Urkel

left our hearts purple/

 

All this murder/

doesn't do well to serve us/

all this violence/

need I remind us/

not long ago we got along/

somewhere down the line we split apart/

we let em make us enemies/

and seal off our entries/

2 shots is 2 too much/

3 shots have gone too far/

4 shots will we see what we done/

will our minds run like blood/

will our hearts then open up/

will we save our daughters n sons/

Or will we just turn another cheek kill another geek/

who coulda deserved another week/

 

500 murders in 9 months/

is this really a thing to be proud of/

they took Jaquizz n now I stand up/

fist up man up/

we upset when other races don't care/

but we don't budge just stand here/

when our people tote glocks/

n mow each other down like cops/

when is a life worth something/

when do our rights disperse some/

when can we not walk outside in fear/

oh dear/

when you look at the way we reared/

when inferiorism is seared/

in the back of our scalps it appears/

another cliff edged near/

how can I get ahead here/

w my prospects are dim/

when they tell me I need to just stay here/

w they Cheshire grin/

when everyone's against me/

when every promise empty/

the life of crime is tempting/

teach me how to rise simply/

Breakfast at Esperanza's

What's the occasion immigration/

Satan really hatin'/

amazing what I'm thinking/

escaping be mi baby/

take it mi corazón/

all yours no chloroform/

is needed head over heels scheming/

how to be w you dreaming/

when it's forbidden/

you kidding I can't love a vixen/

I can't love a innocent/

no such thing as picking/

is everything prearranged/

if that's a thing I'd rather hang/

 

Mona Lisa madonna/

Marilyn Jane Fonda/

no Brittany no tiffany/

this is breakfast at Esperanza's/

 

Woke up in a hurry/

yo backside been curvy/

yo mama been worried/

n I have been deserving/

a serving of your tea/

what put me next to you/

same thing that put me on you/

and you on me honestly/

I'm ornery n horny/

nnnow we leave/

n wake up for breakfast plz/

 

Some people are so bitter/

they mustn't feel warmth all winter/

they hate our love wanna see us cry/

till our tears are icicle and seal our eyes/

but even if god made me blind/

I know I have an angel by my side/

yo beauty goes beyond sight/

as the hippies say you're outta sight/

ever since you came into my life/

I ain't had one lonely night/

what's a fight what's a fight/

make up at desayuno fuck n fight/

on the counter on the floor/

what's a bed on the door/

partly clothed or none of the above/

my 2nd love was better than the 1st/

IPray

Back when my homie got murdered/

n I contemplated a life of carrying a burner/

n my ma grabbed me in the garage n started crying/

n said whatever you trying – stop/

probably what kept me from frying/

I was just gon mow the lawn n listen to the Fugees like it's brand new/

n count every recognizable sample/

afterwards hit up my pandas so we can hit this bamboo/

gotta fat sack we refer to as Shammue/

cuz yo ass will be swimming probably soil linen/

like spud from trainspotting choose the life you'll lead/

you never guess at 15 which way you'll lean/

n at 16 the same will be at 23/

7 years later n you reaping what you sow/

greiving w yo boys about the past wishing it last/

not so fast what about all this cash/

innit scratch all that matters/

give n take that/

 

I pray you'll see the light someday/

I say we gon be right one day/

 

My grandparents are getting older/

n I try to visit n remember all them digits/

but they Health is failing n I think about my mama/

if she was to drop HOUSTON I now gotta problem/

to be 12 years when I wrote her that song on a/

Mother's Day said I wanna buy her a home/

n take care of bills like you did me n your others/

then I think about her mother's mother what a tall order/

if I was to have a child how would I rear em/

in a positive direction would I steer em/

will they be an unruly teen will I fear em/

dear god adulthood is rearing/

its ugly face again/

I can't just wipe it off like spray tan can I wait for cloudy seasons/

will it peel back can my life hit rewind to last summertime/

can I always have that big of smile/

 

You know how people always say they gon change

n they do for a week/

then they go back to doing the same thing/
