Raz Simone - Macklemore & Chief Keef lyrics

rate me

So many stuck in a box

They got me stuck in the ground

I’m pushing keys to open locks

My momma’s homeless and nobody knows it

I’m not dead or broke

So where I’m from

That means you’re fuckin’ chosen

My city thought that I might

Part the sea open

Most are giving up

But some keep hoping

I know I can't let em down

But I don't think I can be Moses

I’m lookin’ for an angel

But I only see omens

All my dawgs are locked away

or they turned out to be rodents

and any cats I roll with now

I have to check their motives

I’m still a hot nigga

But I swear it’s just the coldest

Because at any given moment

I could fly right off the handle

and change all of my lifes components

Because I’m still on the field

Doing what I had to do

To Keep going

It’s funny, I could buy another bird

And keep whippin yay

shoot another nigga today

Hop on the phone with the richest people in the game

And my life would still be the exact fucking same

Where’s the change?

Every year, seems like I’m still getting closer

But my fear is that I’m getting away from the tear

If I don’t make it doing this

I'll Rob 20 banks

Or do 100 years

I swear

While I'm mad at these fake rappers

having hundreds of fans

my home girl just shot her brains out

right in front of her man

Look I would have said something to get hope

But I was too busy touching cash

And all are askin’ me

Ras, do you fuck a Mac?

Does he put up all the city?

Is he really giving back?

I just tell him my love is music

And he seems like a humble man

But me and my niggaz are still on these streets

And we could use a track

We could really use a Grammy

More than we can use a gram

The song was really sad

Because you said everything that was happened

But it was all carried out by your hands

I think you owe it to your people

I think you owe it to your fans

But you don’t owe anybody shit

You are on your own shit

While they are put up in the pack

I was under age making my music for my ears

This is culture,these are lives

This is more than just rap

Nowadays you can rate murder on Facebook , Twitter or Instagram

And these rappers don’t really give a damn

I know you wanna make a change

But you don’t really wanna lose your fam

I’m just sitting in the back

I’ve been standing for so much shit

That my knees are feeling cracked

I see the weakness in rap

Most kids won’t eve listen to a fucking beat that isn’t track

I just have to keep it real,

It seems like I'm the only one that can

I can really give a fuck how the world feels anymore

I have to take a stand
