One Be Lo
Bodies around boomboxes yelling (Rewind Forward)
Verse 1
I was sent
To the three-fourths of water
Covered Earth
Spittin' fire
But i'm cool like the Element of wind
Negative exist
'til you develop the pic
It was One
To the Nine
To the Seven
To the Six
Jazz and Soul music for-
Ever getting spins
But these days, a disco
Record was the sh#t
And welcome back Kotter was a
Television hit
But four years, and Reagan was a
Presidential pick
We pitched pеnnies in wells
But nevеr get a sip
Like ice water in hell
The devil with a grin
The rich feeding themselves
Forever til the end
Now my destiny is felon in the pin
Cuz the Melanin is dwellin in my skin
F it to the pigs
My attitude, Ice Cube
Yella, Eazy, Ren
No innocence
We’re guilty of the same ignorance
Muslim oils, came to my sense
I never did it sense
Verse 2
Now don't get it twisted like a fellow with a wrench
Suicide was never meant
But malnourishment
From Drugs and alcohol in my system in a sense
It's the same when a blade severe veins in ya wrist
Connected to a raised hand
Rebel with a fist
In a trench with a weapon
Seeking heaven in the end
Since Binary began
This how I represent
You can run and tell a friend
Or sell it to a kid
It's too many fake smiles
That stretch over the chin
Haters wanna take a mile
So I never give an inch
No disrespect
I know my elders feel a bit
When they ask me about life
I tell'em it's a Bitch
And when I say Bitch
I ain't talking 'bout no estrogen and tits
I'm talking 'bout experiences testing me to quit
I'm wrestling within
Knowing winners never did
Verse 3
But haters do exist
Like treble in the mix
I bass in their face
Like decibels of ten
We ain't the same level, same style
You could try to walk a mile
You could never do it stepping in my kicks
And if you ever fix ya lips
To discuss One Be Lo
You can say
He was a legend with the pen
Once again
