The Anti-Dope
It's James back for another week
People gather round just to
Hear a brother speak
Niggas be like preach but I'm
Not a preacher tho
You be on that turn up i
Be on that other shit
From a different world let me
Take you to the mothership
Diplomatic systematic like the government
Enough of this I'ma take the
Game and fucking smother it
Extermination determination to rule a nation
Look who I'm facing in the mirror see clearer
This lyracist you hearing is never monotone
In my zone when I'm alone
My gram used to call me from the obama phone
Now i get paid every time my phone ring
Like the dow jones
I hear a dial tone, money calling my name
Not for the fame tho that
May be a side effect
My regrets it my neglect mad
I ain't have it yet
Mad respect to the hustlers grinding not to
Have a check but their freedom
Tell em fuck their jobs i never do need em
To my surprise i realize these real lies
These real eyes sees where the fear lies
In the compromise of the agreement
Dreaming be our mental condition we settle
With old traditions without any suspicion
This musician's on a mission
Written in compositions killing
The competition and moving
Bodies like morticians
For recognition of repetition
To re position all
The preconditioned notions-floating
Why you supposed to listen no prohibition
But I'm putting an end to wack rap
Like that's-that
Never back track my back cracked
From holding up my city at last
We on the at las finally detectable
My word is impeccable
So incredible unforgettable
How my dreams beam into skeptical beings
They never seen a real intellectual
Putting words in your mouth
My bars are digestible
But the truth is a pill hard to swallow black
Picasso, this is amateur night at the apollo
Fuck the lotto my bravado kills my rivals no
Survival in this jungle stomach
Grumbles kept me humble do it for my uncle
Watch whole base crumble as
I pummel truth music
Through this funnel tube shit
Flowing til it floods
Hip hop has been disrespected infested
With guns and drugs
It runs in clubs til we kill each other
Yeah i got the antidope
If we build each other up
Then we can't be broke
This is much deeper then punchlines
And fancy quotes-this is for
The hopeless broke kids to
Blossom like a lotus
You notice my focus snapping
Shots like a camera
The life in North America
My response is Canada as in
Can-a-DA ever replay police tapes
From each state and see we create hate with
Laws from centuries ago you know
We living in the
Twenty first where the mindset is money first
Before we cursed ourselves back to slavery
The bittersweet taste is hardly savory
Theres no saving me I used
To blaze the trees now
I blaze emcees and they agree they hate to be
On the wrong side of that
Long line of poverty
Committing robberies fathers be
Commodities of prisons
Or plain missing leaving a
Child without supervision
To make decisions that lead
Them straight to prison
Peep the spiral they repeat the cycle
But shit what do I know im just an artist
