SHAD - Compromise lyrics

rate me

When I'm writing I repeatedly edit words and rework tracks

I'll admit I'm like the raptors – I got weak first drafts

So when I'm dropping a new flow

It's prolly not all that solid at first post yo might call it Arujo

But ballers improve yo

And in the same way soon the tunes get better

And I polish a juno

Who knows... I might get acknowledged and kudos

It's cool though

Long as I keep rocking a few shows

Not to model some new clothes

Pocket that loot bro

I'm still trying to figure tax. Stocks, and the loopholes

Like wheres the refund? We filed for em'

Deducted from gross? Shouldn't that be taken off the net?

Like child porn

My smile's warn off but I ain't that pissed though

I still got cash and I don't lack distro

And if I didn't I wouldn't change to go bag fistfuls

Of cold green, homie I'm no black minstrel show

Shad just don't compromise...

In this life we just can't compromise

It's a fight but we just can't compromise

With our time we just can't compromise

With these rhymes yo I just can't compromise

We just don't compromise...

I'm feeling like the people's champ

See my fans greet

A brother with hugs laughs and daps

They don't yell like banshees

Or stampede

Women ain't gotta dress fancy for the man

Please my listeners understand me

My fight to about this right

What this stand means

It's more than some grand schemes

To hold up a grammy

We fighting in a war that we can't see

My brothers and sisters in this struggle

There's no fans we family

Same root and branch tree

Listen I'm amped

Keep your hearts warm?

Mines on fire and I'm antsy

I know it's so cliche but I'm angry that some can't eat

Meanwhile I'm letting a damn feast of pastas and canned meats

Rot in my pantry

Like lord please can we speak on this frankly

Like God why you letting this happen?

Amen, he answered, son I'm askin you the same thing

Cause you're supposed to be my servants

Out there working

Like you're my hands reaching out to those that's hurtin

You don't have long on this earth

And I hope you won't compromise...
