lirik lagu trace advocate - cane/abel
[verse 1: trace advocate]
bleedin’ from the soul, speakin’ to the whole globe
startin’ to take its toll
sparkin’ as i roll it
starvin’ as i wrote this
potent with the rhyme i’m just pokin’ at your mind
while you soakin’ in the limelight
find life in these verses, fine line next to death you ride behind them he-rs-s
i’m like six feet deep as hard as you sleep i should be chargin’ to dream
collect on 1st and 15th and days all in between
caught in the scheme, livin’ as a citizen
i see these kids feenin’ livin’ off of ritalin
it probably ain’t my place, but never was i fittin’ in
so i look em straight when i tell these parents listen in
and i been visitin’ my uncle, he said in here they feelin’ me
i laughed said “out here they grillin’ me”
replied, “give em time they young, got a lot on they mind
plus you way beyond your years, way far from your prime
you see in here you got respect with your pen
cause there’s nothing but regret in the pen
you see a lot of these dudes walked the same shoes
you spoke about in your tunes
that’s what got em here the first place
now i see it’s perfect that you picked the word trace
hey, worse case scenario you could save somebody’s life
break through that stereo, its everybody’s right to be heard
and i know you got something to say, yeah i know you got something to say
you bigger than that it’s bigger than rap come on”
(9:05)
[verse 2: trace advocate]
uh, i ain’t goin’ out that easy
i heard my cd slackin’
i heard these emcees rappin’ bout some sh-t that didn’t happen
well i’m here to set the record straight
i probably hold my breath just to let is resonate
i guess it’s better late than never, that’s what someone told me
if they were still alive they’d probably miss the old me
well that makes two of us, can’t stop now pursuin’ this
till i made it faded in the back of the tour bus
don’t mistake this for no conscience rap, i spit convictions
launchin’ at these walk-in cancer cats that flip prescriptions
written scriptures, gettin’ all this ridicule
probably cause my sh-t just a little too political
and if they catch me up in court they’ll probably testify
that i corrupted young minds with the lessons i
brought em through perplexin’ lines, you want a confession fine
i’ll list em, but in this f-cked up system
probably best to lie
he got a m16, he barely reached 16
his mind rippin’ at the seams with these get rich schemes
chance he might not use it, but the youth is so unstable
wake up bike is boosted, now it’s cane and abel
now he goin’ awol
now he goin postal
now he gettin’ close to your home this ain’t suppose to be
but you can blame hollywood for that
look a little closer, see that we probably should relax
but y’all don’t really give a f-ck
and i don’t really give enough
who cares if it’s k!llin’ us
everybody keep on twistin’ up [4x]
and if you still alive, then it’s strictly luck
