letra de the odditorium pt. 2 - deuce altendre

[verse 1]
if hip hop had a logo
it would be my silhouette
just one legacy removed from having my own jerry west
i keep my pen slaving, always letting my pillow rest
pajamas on vacation and my blanket left
so apparently, they’re the only n-ggas who slept
y’all the only n-ggas who slept

[verse 1 cont.]
i remember when they used to call me “young tendre”
calling women “hoes” and promoting gun violence
i never busted a gat, it was all for the sake of rhyming
i was only seventeen
didn’t have any better themes
boosting my self-esteem
but my conscience couldn’t handle the lying
i realized that i had to pave the way
for this youth who may fade away
who know when, it ain’t safe to say
and that rubs me the wrong way
like an untrained m-sseuse
see the truth of the matter
despite the rooms full of laughter
through the boos and cackles
in this booth, i will loosen these shackles
like these schools for example
it’s like these streets have feet
because they use them to trample on our youth

[refrain]
this is for the youth
the odditorium part 2

[verse 2]
so i put my vision for riches on the backburner
to the point where i didn’t even yearn it
then i look at trayvon martin
and then i have to remind n-ggas
that he is not where the problem started
see i blame hip hop
we’re putting these kids in coffins
bill o’reilly was right
sometimes that old man ain’t just talkin’
these kids are dying everyday
and then we want to wait to riot right after the wake
and then we want to wait to wake up right after the case
my n-gga, its too late
we need a new face

[refrain]
this is for the youth
the odditorium part 2

[verse 3]
if your role models fill arenas
but fail to fill your brain
i advise you to be a bit keener
when building up your name
there’s no need for me to go any deeper
because i’ll end up in your veins
and i’ll make those dirty pores cleaner
no need for proactiv
when i’m actively screaming, “eureka!”
after every line gets meaner
when children disrespect teachers
those teachers blame hip hop
and hip hop doesn’t have leaders
so it’s take it how you see us
but hypocrites won’t defeat us
because the feat is in defeating
the false sense that is prestigious
let’s pick up the other pieces and peacefully -ssemble
because we are talkin’ bout freedom
it’s no one elses fault either
but we all are just as guilty
i said i could make it cleaner
but we all are just as filthy
so cast the first stone
and i dare one of them to hit me
blow down my next home
and i’ll k!ll all the wolves that bit me
with the cobra and doberman
as soon as i wake up out this coma
i’mma grab a coca cola from a polar bear
and walk right back over there with a smile
and know that i’m representing the youth
the way that i’m supposed to

[refrain]
this is for the youth
the odditorium part 2

[verse 4]
if my flow was any drier
i would still aspired to inspire you
look what paying homage do
as if i flew my kite higher than the horizon
and shiny moon signed my shoes
because that’s a bigger star than anyone i knew
then at 15, i bumped into lu
