[Intro]
 'Preme  all right  'Preme
 that roughneck shit is cool and all
 but what else you got  man?
 (aight  man  yo  man  check this
 shit out  I got some shit for the radio
 man  I'm ready to fucking hit it)

 [Sample]
 "Brother  brother  brother"

 [Shabazz The Disciple]
 Once again  the intellectual black child
 is here to let knownledge be born on the track
 While I massage your mental and exercise your temple
 So potential as I rip the instrumental
 I'm that type of brother that got shit locked down
 Whoever tries to stand in my way, they gets knocked down
 No time to relax, gotta move fast
 Just pass the obsticles in my new path
 It's time to blow up, I gotta work hard
 Cuz when you're lazy, my brother, you gets barred
 90 miles per an hour is the rate as I motivate
 I have to eliminate the dead weight
 Brothers are tugged along like children
 Trying to slow me down and prevent me from building
 Excellerating, prospering in Hell and
 Evading to turn their lack of motivation
 I revolve like the Earth rotates on it's axis
 Bust some ass while my mother relaxes
 Stay in the ghetto if you're willing to eat your own
 I'm sick of living the lifestyle of the poor and alone
 I've suffered enough, the struggle took mad long
 It's time take and moan, control and add on
 I knew deep down to myself that I wasn't lying
 Either I'ma make it or I'ma die trying

 [Chorus x1.5: "Sample", (Shabazz The Disciple)]
 "Brother, brother, brother"
 "I'll stand here"
 "There's far too many struggles"
 "I'll stand here"
 (Either I'ma make it or I'ma die trying)

 [Shabazz The Disciple]
 I was raised in the place where you don't want to be
 Drugs and guns over-rule the society
 To me it's like an essence of drug dealers and murderers
 Crack heads, prostitutes, drugs and burgulars
 Whenever went on, I knew the cops were here into it
 It took a crime for them to get to it
 I've been to mad wakes and funerals
 Most of y'all understand what that pressure can do to you
 But I kept my mind in an upward glance
 Expanding me skills, waiting for a chance
 The day where I can rhyme and shine
 And here I am getting paid to tell the world what's on my mind
 Standing my grounds like I'm supposed to
 Possess the skills most can't come close to
 I won't stop fighting until it's time to
 Cuz I have a destine to rule I will climb to
 Besides all the pressure and the strain on my brain
 I'm striving cuz I was able to maintain
 I didn't let no one change my decisions
 Blow me off course and try to blurry my visions
 Four plus a head with the skills that I'm blessed with
 I'm going all out until the snake is infested
 A community where everybody is dying
 Either I'ma make it or I'ma die trying

 [Chorus x1.5]

 [Shabazz The Disciple]
 A lot of times I almost got wasted
 Death was mad close, but I wasn't ready to face it
 I know I'm still here for a purpose
 Just seen all me people leaving in hurses
 Most of my brothers were slain in the drug game
 It tore me apart, but here I still remain
 Have to feel the pain and it hurts, yo
 There comes a point in life where you have to convert, so
 Here I am striving for a little perfection
 Headed in a new direction, using my mind for protection
 Because your mind is worse than any other weapon
 A feel luck that I didn't end up dying
 All my brothers didn't make it, but they died trying

 [Chorus x3
