Broke +- lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Can I do my shiznit? Can I be specific?
Can I chase this grip without lookin' too big for my britches?
Am I too prolific? The vision, my pugilistic moods insisted
Food come from them tools, he's so choose to use
Now Harriet Tubman say she freed a thousand slaves
Could've freed a thousand more if they was aware of the chains
What's under the rugs remaining unexplained, truth is mostly taboo
Even when it's starin' back at you like an enemy tattoo
Refusin' to play the statue, I take action, without quittin'
Until I reach my point of satisfaction, not givin' a crap what happens
I'm just a part of a winnin' family, call me Marlon Jackson
As I'm workin' hard to get my spin right
Morphine and novacane dull the pain, still don't change the diagnos'
Pessimistic thoughts, curin' the bricks, we tryna find some hope
Most my counterparts be feeling the same, give me a light, let's smoke
You either chasin' this dirty money, or living righteous broke

[Chorus]
B is for the blood, R is for the ropes
O is for oppression, K is for the kush, need it just to cope
E is for the evolution, it's for this resolution
Now have you ever been broke, sick of forever losin'?
[Verse 2]
The damage is done but who's to blame? Finger pointin', namin' names
Nobody willin' to pay that full admission to ride the gravy train
Death is a part of life, happens daily, gotta face the pain
I be limpin' through it with lacerations, both my ankles sprained
Can't rely on politics or that 1 percent to gain power
Daily givin' kibbles to let 'em own your life for 8 hours
Poison get to waters, make it hard, safely take showers
Nobody put in place to keep it straight so now we slang powder
Chasin' paper, aimin' lasers at the opposition
Can't play with these streets and say you positive, it's a contradiction
I ain't have no pot to p*ss in, had to make some tough decisions
Tired of dealin' with these broke conditions, listen

[Chorus]
B is for the blood, R is for the ropes
O is for oppression, K is for the kush, need it just to cope
E is for the evolution, it's for this resolution
Now have you ever been broke, sick of forever losin'?
