rate me

(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias)

Marcus, show no mercy

Save that for your brainwash

My daddy was a thug; momma was a hippie

Now you got me, product of Bayview-HP

Where vampires ride when it’s dark

Toss detergent like it’s time to wash

Turn your TV’s off; curtains down (gunshots)

It’s never safe to watch

3 deep in a hoopty-peel off; tire marks skid off.

What goes around, comes around

Remember that bending blocks.

Before bike lanes and street chalk

Dim streetlights, police hawk; concrete lines

Stereotypes of street crime, got us strapped with four nine’s

We work hard; fight harder so they gentrify

I was once scared to define, cross streets

In fear that they’d judge me or jump me

So trust me, I left the house

Late to school, skipping school, after school

Down watching street fights then mob back to the T line

Loud music from metros, we K-9’s on felines

Being on time, be the last thing on our minds

Adults keep telling me, diploma is what I need

To function in society, I just want to see

Different seas, in my head it plays out, assed out.

I’m just tryna get my ass out, first class

Before I blast out or pass out

Writing rhymes all night, late nights getting no sleep

My producer grinding, making beats

Oh you counting bread? They counting sheep.

You might be rich but you still weak.

Get to know me; I’m getting started like Monday

First day of the week, I want you, 365 and a leap

Feel free to jump, you already know. It’s mighty steep

Some people stay in the shallow end, so I think deep.

Six feet, with all these odds against me

No hand outs, made my own way

So turn it up I got something to say…
