verse 1
Casualties, terminal disease, broken families/
profanity and poverty, projects and private property/
new millenium, bad credit, low income/
street bum, the seven day struggle to eat son/
slavery, bad ownership, and condolences/
only if we know the pain that tomorrow brings/
memories, flashbacks of friends and enemies/
sellouts leaving you scarred emotionally, pandemony/
made mistakes, an outrage, teenage pregnancies/
can't grow seeds on low wage independency/
abortions, parents divorcin', ghetto orphans/
drugs and money bossin', stranded misfortunes/
watch for global warming when half of the world floods/
man, woman, child and thug's innocent bloodrush/
days are getting closer to the endin'/
and you ain't even listen for a second when there's much more to mention/
see, those who live the poorest are the purest/
take it as the way that you prefer it, everything has a purpose for it!
HOOK
Like a stone made from Egypt, I'm a keep shinin'/
'cause God gave me a gift, my poetry's vivrant/
I pull trees, blow o.z.'s in deep silence/
for o.g.'s who don't go to sleep, the heat's risin'/
police patrolling the beat with beast sirens/
there's no peace, only for peeps resting in peace lyin'/
police patrolling the beat with beast sirens/
there's no peace, only for peeps resting in peace lyin'!

Bambino, produced by SLUDEM, real nice track right there, so enjoy!
