Deeper Than Rap lyrics

[Verse]
I don't wanna make friends, I don't wanna break the ice
I think about my life and I analyse
The gun man was aimin' at me but he weren't precise
I looked down the barrel of the gun and saw paradise
They don't wanna see us win, they wanna sabotage
The next time they see me in the flesh, I be camouflage
Heard a man talk grease and he's thinkin' he's hard
Till I catch you lackin' there with your Nicki Minaj
I'ma keep the next ting in my cousin's garage
Jakes won't find sh*t if they run in my yard
How you live your life when your life's a facade?
How many times did I lie to my marj?
I wasn't even rollin' with the entourage
I'm takin' my time when I'm playin' my cards
You know them n*ggas always gon' try to catch me off guard
They think I'm talkin' to myself but I'm talkin' to God
I know my skin look fresh but I come from the mud
I was in a bad mood until I smoked on a bud
Handle your business, don't brush it under the rug
You wasted my time and I felt like I was robbed
All I need is some mash and a corn on a cob
I was chillin' with Chanel but I called her a cab
I'm so on my job that I sleep in the lab
You think I'll go without a fight but I think that you're mad
I knew they was comin' so I sat and waited
They try to burst through the door but it was barricaded
I wasn't lost in the sauce but I was marinated
We looked at the stars and then we navigated
We started thinkin' as one then we elevated
We never said a word, we just demonstrated
No Blacks, no dogs, we were segregated
They took our history then they went and erased it
I'm just a roadman so why am I preachin'?
God made you sexy, so why you bleachin'?
How you send your son to school and don't know what they teach him?
How you beef a next block and you don't know the reason?
Me I love myself 'cause I'm Black and I'm gorgeous
Why they wanna kill us for natural resources?
Every move that you make, you have to be cautious
I work with the powers, I work with the forces
And the Almighty gets all the praise
I make my salah cah I'm stuck in the maze
I saw a sister and I lowered my gaze
I had to lay low for a couple of days
I'm still with the mob, but I chill on my J's
Be careful your drink don't get spilled on my J's
The way I left your block in disarray
Don't do as I do, just do as I say
Spark a dutchie, I'm in my element
Provide for the family, pay the rent
Tell you what I stand for, what I represent
I heard what you said but I know what you meant
I read between the lines when you tell me things
I'm from the road so you don't think I'm intelligent
I had to fill up the candy with some medicine
I'm made from carbon, they call it melanin
The way I tell you everything, I was genuine
You had a red eye, that's why you never win
I won't even say a word, I just pepper him
How can a man judge me, like he never sinned?
Lookin' for your soul it got blown in the wind
You seen his paperwork and you're rollin' with him
I wanna fix the world, don't know where to begin
They ain't see me in so long, they're like, "Where have you been?"
I was fresh from a war but it was internal
Every day I encounter another hurdle
Why they wanna take my manhood and strip search me?
When I think about my life, it's been a long journey
It was a snow storm but I stood firmly
All the time you wasted, you gotta reimburse me
I had to play dumb, just to blend in
Then go to Africa for spiritual cleansing
