letra de a lot of us - mic crenshaw

[verse 1]
so much more at stake than a good mood
a few -rg-sms, new shoes, and hot food
havin’ paper won’t make you invincible
but people don’t get paid based solely on principle
i’ll just say it’s calculated, geometric, and algebraic
so i gotta be mathematic, pragmatic, practical
spiritual, intuitive, technical, tactical
why make it more difficult than it already is?
i don’t want to go to prison so i’ll let you live
i choose to be positive but i don’t always make it
stuck in the hallway she’s up against the wall naked
and i’m show enough tryin’ to make fire climb her spine
purge my desires and cleanse my mind
does that appeal to your senses? can you feel my predicament?
i’m so strong but i’m sensitive
so much so that it’s sickening

[hook]
i’m not in prison i keep a job
life’s expensive i don’t need to rob
despite statistics i beat the odds
i’m not religious but i believe in god
it’s all good it’s not enough
it’s just the beginning for a lot of us

[verse 2]
every time i spill my seed it’s like a baby shower
k!llin’ a billion children that could have given the world power
i know girls who dream and speak to aborted fetuses
but still find time to drink from h-rny p-n-ses
through their birth c-n-ls we’re all hurt somehow
no ones perfect we searchin’ tryin’ to work it out
my soul feels stained can you feel my pain?
liquidated metal, toxic mercury rain
the surface of my skin crawls cause i’ve been involved
with worthless m-th-f—as that don’t want to see me win at all
lest i forget i best remember that i ‘m blessed to be here
take another breath without regret lets be clear
so many do so much more with so much less
in places torn by war, disease, poverty, pre-mature death
societies in transition the demise of the west
it’s bigger than the pacific i-5 and the u.s

[verse 3]
my lifestyle’s wild to the crowd it seems glamorous
when i’m on stage rhyming through clouds of cali cannabis
police got a file as do freaks discrete cameras
post monogamy probably poly-amorous
mc’s want to compete some think they ain’t man enough
to keep the people out they seats on their feet straight standin up
maneuver through the streets, dc to los angeles
vancouver bc, rwanda to canada
i’m political and intellectual, eloquent and credible
like ground and dirt i’m down to earth
but i’m comfortable on pedestals
if only for a moment, i occupy it, own it
i’ll be ostracized criticized by allies and opponents
live my life openly expose it through the poetry
speak what you think and experience you notice the
content is tangible and understandable
make no mistake, no fake spit escapes my mandible
