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 probably not all that solid at first post you might call it Arujo   But ballers I'm prove 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 worn 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 go 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?   Mine's 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 asking 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 hurting   You don't have long on this earth   And I hope you won't compromise...
