Lytskin
Daylyt Lyrics

Have a seat let em settle n don't be scared
Take a moment to calm down and don't be afraid

If this is just a settlement then settle with thirds
If this is a compromise, then let's settle our differences fairly

I sat up nights writing don't get the credit i deserve
I spent countless nights writing, yet I don't receive the recognition I should

I'm the one sending references I'm who edit them words
I provide references and edit my own lyrics without asking for credit

I don't ask to be credited i just check for the debit deposit observe
I don't seek recognition, I simply ensure that I get paid for my work

While you sit and observe i just service for all them platinum hits
While you watch from the sidelines, I am the one creating platinum hits

And the live jam
And the live performances

You know
You are aware

Let there be light was gods plan
The plan of God was to bring light into the world

You think i jot with god hands
You think I write my lyrics with divine intervention

I was being a handyman hamburger helper for the logo
I was working behind the scenes as a helper for the brand's logo

Jumped in the meek beef just for the promo
I got involved in a petty dispute just for the sake of promotion

I guess this how the show go when you show low respect
This is how things play out when you disrespect others

For those who respect and neglect you i was the first Adonis
Despite being disrespected, I was the first to achieve greatness

I made you pop you ain't tell the world who i was
I helped you become successful, but you never acknowledged me

Stay quiet chillin was mad but held back ain't have the right feelings
I stayed silent and acted cool, but deep down I was angry and unable to express my true emotions

Just know when they too fake you write with em don't like with em
When people are being fake, you pretend to support them but don't actually like them

You tight with em you stuck in the
If you're close with them, you're trapped in their circle

Hype well they just tell you to type
They only want you to hype them up online

Don't get the invite to the mansion party
I'm not invited to the exclusive parties

I see how did you do i had the location got it from nunu?
I know how you got to the mansion, did you get the location from Nunu?

You asked me to come and battle at the
You invited me to a rap battle at the

Function don't fuck with the sunken place
Event, don't associate with negative environments

Its just a taste i ain't fuckin with u
I'm not fully committing to this situation

Oh we got some problems
Oh, we have some issues to resolve

Told u i was working with triple xxx don't reply to my texts
I informed you that I was collaborating with Triple X and you started ignoring my messages

Now that he died i regret not sending a verse back
Now that he has passed away, I regret not contributing my verse

But whats even worse you know who came and tried to murk that boy
But what's even worse is that someone attempted to kill him

Oh I'm talking too much trail that I'm walking too much
Oh, I'm revealing too much information and getting involved in too many problems

See the youth die that shit is sick they coughing too much
It's disturbing to see young people die and suffer from various issues

Trolling so i can take control of the stalkers who stuck
I engage in trolling to manipulate those who follow me obsessively

Algorhythems down in my crowd decision notice
The algorithms in the crowd affect how decisions are made and observed

All the trolls got big while my shit the lowest
All the internet trolls gained popularity, while my music remained unnoticed

Im superman to these bitches to get the attention then i gotta save em
I present myself as a savior to gain attention from women

That is why i behave dumb that is why i became some type of internet
That's why I act foolish and portray a certain image online

Clown under the stairs they hate me for
I'm seen as a clown and people dislike me for it

Clowning but follow those with colorful hair
I make fun of others, yet people still follow those with unique appearances

69 ways to block me was they being cocky
There are many ways people try to block me, showing their arrogance

I'm just too sick dog the rabies done got me
I'm too talented and unique, it's like I have a contagious disease

Scabies is hockey the babies is
There's a lot of manipulation happening, including involving innocent children

Watts see what i see not an option think
The people in Watts should understand my perspective

Of watts see racks on racks keep it a stack at the top
People need to see the abundance of wealth and success in Watts

They keeping the black owned black plot
They are deliberately suppressing black-owned businesses and opportunities

Blacks dont rap about black owned stacked property
Black artists don't often rap about owning property or businesses

Niggas dropping albums making cracks on pack poverty whats sad is
Artists release albums and make money off portraying poverty, which is unfortunate

The fans think its a great song but
The fans believe it's a great song, but

Why none of y'all helping out akon?
Why aren't any of you supporting Akon and his initiatives?

Light work for the homeland you're
It's easy for artists to claim loyalty to their homeland

Probably in your mansion chopping lobster
They're probably in their luxurious mansions enjoying expensive food

One trip back to the homeland waka flocka
If they were to return to their homeland, they would be met with excitement

Give it all back chains cars all that let a nigga see its no slave
They should give back their material possessions and show that they're not enslaved

Ships we aborigine history lies the mystery rise mister reading his
We, as aboriginal people, have a hidden history full of lies and mysteries

Books but reading still is the trap native is the tongue hung english
Books only provide a limited perspective, but our native language is neglected

Olde english we finding for tall cans
We're searching for alcoholic beverages in order to escape our reality

Oh man y'all meant evil
Oh man, you guys had malicious intentions

Every nook felt different god said he made all men equal
In every corner, there is inequality, even though God created all people as equals

Capital steez progidy triple x left eye odb the
Capital Steez, Prodigy, Triple X, Left Eye, and ODB are examples of artists who stood up for their people

Anomaly every nigga that spoke up for our people got a deco
Any individual who stood up for our community was met with deception

Home depo
Home Depot, a reference to providing supplies to build and uplift the community

Mexican I'm hoping its work i have been to focused
I hope that the efforts and work I've put in are effective, but I have been too focused on my own struggles

I'm ready to die for being outspoken I'm conscious but still loccin
I'm willing to risk my life for speaking out, even though I'm aware of the consequences

Im crippled but still a stand up nigga without the crutches
I am limited, but I still act with integrity and don't rely on external support

No marching with my hands up tell my people we
I won't march with my hands up in surrender, I'll tell my people to

Better let the cans up to get rid of the cancer
Raise our guns to eliminate the problems in our community

Its the only answer iverson i have been surviving in the slum dodging
That's the only solution, like Allen Iverson, I have survived in poverty by avoiding

Rivals who love thuggin its crazy how
Enemies who enjoy violence, it's unbelievable how

The enemys is really my blood cousins
Our enemies are actually our own people

My cousins bleed the same we thug from kids
My relatives are going through the same struggles, we have been involved in street life since childhood

No matter how much you crippin when
Regardless of your gang affiliation, when

You get shot you need blood to live
If you get shot, you need the support of your community to survive

Its vital fido dog will stay by the bodies
It's crucial that loyal friends stay by your side, even in times of danger

Shorty load up the shottie one shot then we come up short
Prepare the shotgun, take one shot, but unfortunately we fail to achieve our goal

Webster haul don't expect to to ball in the circle the feelings arise
In the Webster neighborhood, don't expect to be successful within our community, emotions will come up

You'll homiesll hurt you see the curfew you get in your feelings
Your friends will harm you due to a curfew and you'll become emotionally affected

Nigagsll curve you you show your street side don't let beef slide
People will betray you, you show your tough side and won't let disputes go unresolved

Slippery cow on the east side
A dangerous individual on the east side who is difficult to catch

Its crazy how the east coast love me but the east coasters'll slug me
It's ironic how people from the east coast show love, yet they are also prone to violence towards me

Killin thugs in my circle show no pity
Eliminating criminals within my group without any remorse

My city go silly for color purple
My city goes crazy for violence and chaos

Get a glimpse we cry in the purple rain
Get a glimpse of the reality and pain we experience every day

Screaming that beezy really the prince
Claiming that a woman is truly a valuable and important person

Believe me the prince he left n the beezy live
Believe me, the prince left but the woman lives on

We staving for leaders lead bulimic bulimia see the kids throw up sign
We desperately need leaders who suffer from an insatiable hunger for power; they make the youth exhibit signs of discomfort

We grow up fine on the grapevine
We are informed about events through rumors and gossip

When my partnas move chop got the tools
When my friends are involved in illegal activities, they have the necessary tools

Its ironic how when our cribs die we got the blues
It's ironic how we feel sorrow when someone in our community dies, but we continue to engage in negative behavior

Well moby dick thought the killing living would get old
Just like Moby Dick, I thought that participating in violence and crime would lose its appeal over time

Give praise to the bricks
We should show appreciation for our neighborhoods

Itll only leave you with missed goals
In the end, it will only lead to unfulfilled ambitions

The project goverment profit off? fuck the profit
The government benefits from the projects, but we should reject their gain

Boyz n the hood
Referencing the movie 'Boyz n the Hood' to highlight the struggles in the community

Took Chris ball menace to society
Drawing comparisons to movies like 'Chris', 'Ball', and 'Menace to Society' that depict the reality of our society

Told the people to stop and start living good
These films encouraged people to change their ways and live better lives

Y'all watching a movie but it was filmed inside my hood
You are watching a movie, but it was actually filmed in my neighborhood

I seen Caine
I have witnessed the struggles of individuals like Caine from the movie 'Menace II Society'

Ziggy and Durant ran the alley when these came
Referring to Ziggy and Durant who were involved in illegal activities in our neighborhood

This ain't a hood movie
This isn't just a movie about the hood

This was a true story
This is a real-life story

A unit with the staircase film
A group of individuals connected by the neighborhood where this film was shot

This was a two story
This is a story that has two perspectives

Kids just building up anger hang with the niggas who hangout
Young individuals are growing more frustrated and spending time with negative influences

In the hood
In our neighborhood

Fly as a plane hanger
As fashionable as a plane hanger

Say the wrong word you dead
If you say the wrong thing, you could be killed

Niggas just playing hangman sticking around them bodies
People are playing a dangerous game and staying close to the dead bodies

Do y'all see the stick in the ground
Can you see the weapon buried in the ground?

They kicking us down we wanna kick it
They're oppressing us, but we just want to relax and have a good time

Clicking it on our own
We should come together as a community

Pick up picket signs when they gone
We should protest and fight for our rights when those in power are no longer present

Do we get the sign as designers
Do we understand the signs and symbols as creators

You don't smell me thinking mustang
You can't comprehend my thoughts and goals

This is how it shall be
This is how things are meant to be

Is this how Michelle be next to Obama?
Is this how Michelle Obama stands by Barack Obama?

My mama next to father please tell me god
I hope my mother is next to my father, please tell me, God

How could I focus in a broken home
How can I concentrate when my family is broken

Only way to get dough was if I broke in homes
The only way for me to make money was through criminal activities

Back to wacka flocka
Returning to the topic of Waka Flocka Flame

Oh let's do it my crew with it I'm too legit
Oh, let's do it, my crew is involved and I'm authentic in what I do

Get down your stomach a big round a hoola clip
Get down on the ground, there's a large circular weapon

Your balling but still get chopped thinking I'm new to this
You may have money, but I can still harm you, don't underestimate me

Spades was the card I played
I played the card game Spades

Gazed at the niggas since picking my friends
I observed the people around me before choosing my friends

I got friends in the nix I wish we could kick it again
I have friends in prison and I wish we could hang out again

When this shit finna stop the plot is constipation
When will all of this end? The situation feels stagnant and frustrating

The hood all stars of constellation
The people in our neighborhood are the true stars, like constellations in the sky

To finish this all we need is gods who patient
To resolve this, we need patient and understanding individuals

Let's finish this conversation
Let's bring this discussion to an end

I am waiting for hunnid grapes
I am waiting for a hundred supporters

No more haunted graves
No more graves that haunt us with sorrow

A hunnid bounty hunters
A hundred individuals searching for justice

A hunnid graves
A hundred graves filled with lives lost

Niggas remember they hung us
People need to remember the history of racial violence against us

The real enemy is really amongst us
The true enemy is actually within our own community

We the monsters on lock
We, as a group, are the powerful and intimidating ones

We just need to keep free the youngsters who are stuck in a box
We need to protect and guide the young ones who are trapped in a limited mindset

We get paired up with the energy we come from the block
We get matched with individuals who share similar energy because we come from the same neighborhood

We should square up with the enemies who stuck us in Watts
We need to confront and fight against the enemies who have trapped us in Watts

Cocksuckers rushing to cop so don't cop out
People are rushing to buy and consume material possessions, don't conform to their behavior

Tell em cock eyed tell em B Dawg
Tell them that they have distorted views, tell them B Dawg said so

If we all emerged the hood then Watts'll evolve
If we all come together and improve our neighborhood, Watts will progress

Big one and lil' one
The older and younger generations

Killa Twan and Wolfy call the real ones
Killa Twan and Wolfy represent the authentic individuals in our community

Our fight ain't with each other our fight is with all these pilgrims
Our struggle isn't against each other, it's against the outsiders who oppress us

Respected our hood we gotta protect it
We should respect and protect our neighborhood

Don't neglect the plot it negligent
Don't ignore the situation, it's irresponsible

Higher ups gon' reject the block
Those in power will reject and ignore our community

We don't show respect to the other side but yet we respect the cops
We don't show respect to our rivals, but surprisingly we respect the police

When they kill us we get mad and go kill our killers
When someone from our community is killed, we retaliate by seeking revenge on the perpetrators

Deal our dealers
We need to confront and address the individuals who are selling drugs in our neighborhood

Life for the drugs
People are willing to risk their lives for drugs

Druggers excels for selling drugs in a cell
Drug dealers excel at selling drugs even while serving time in prison

Then we celebrate screaming free the homie
Then we celebrate, shouting 'free the homie'

We should go free them homies from enemy lines
We should work towards freeing our friends from prison

We got many gees with the energy insidious times
We have many individuals with negative energy during these difficult times

See we really lying to the higher ups Watts tower the wire stuck
We're deceiving those in power, the Watts Tower and the wire represent how we are trapped in a system

The higher mention our priors on trial locks
Those in power use our criminal records to keep us locked up

Don't pry us its just rich or prior scream comedy
Don't interrogate us, it's either being rich or having a criminal record, the situation is a dark comedy

The fable they label me the anomaly
They tell stories and label me as the abnormal one

Coz imma meet with all of them niggas the hood was trynna beef
Because I'm going to confront all those individuals the neighborhood had problems with

But I am keeping it real for Christ then
But I am staying true to myself and my beliefs, for Jesus Christ specifically

I'm just a black boy with lytskin
I'm simply a black boy with light skin
