Okay
You want me to go in?
Okay
You know I’ll do it
The judge said this, the judge said that
It’s an anomaly the drug dealer not pack a gat
I’m the voice for the people don’t know how to rap
I’m speaking from my perspective, everyday I live it
The racial undertone is real, if you black you get it
If you white you might, if you tan you can
If you a angry black man, then yo ass is gettin canned
I done been there, done that
They’ll call you aggressive
Knowin that it affect you, just to teach you a lesson
Now you labeled unstable and violent
But get made when a n*gga wanna take a knee in silence
I live in a city full of racists
Don’t be naive, we interact on a everyday basis
Sometimes it’s at the bus stop, maybe at the grocery store
All of times it’s at your job, yeah you know how that go
Stay in your place lil boy, that’s how they look at ya
Judgin ya, ready to throw the book at ya
But they the shook ones, rest in peace to Prodigy
This the quiet storm, once again it’s on
Once again it’s on
Once a once again it’s on
Once again it’s on, it’s on
Once again it’s on
Once a once again it’s on
Once again it’s on, it’s on
Once again it’s on, look I really gotta go
Sincerely yours, Nitro with the nicest flow
I’m feeling righteous bro, my conscience got the best of me
Negativity only means God is testing me
Don’t ever question He
I know He got the recipe
And when I found my soulmate
I knew that he was blessin’ me
This my 18th album, When The Smoke Clear
Even beavis and butthead somewhere havin a beer
This a celebration, of my creation
My music gon’ always be my reputation
I’m a writer, and a fighter,
And a lover, and a spitter, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with her
Lu’ you boo bear
Look I gotta go

I aint just gonna keep beatin a dead horse (okay)
I won't continue to argue a pointless issue
You want me to go in?
Do you want me to speak my mind?
You know I’ll do it
I am willing to express myself
The judge said this, the judge said that
Legal authorities made various statements
It’s an anomaly the drug dealer not pack a gat
Unusual for a drug dealer not to carry a gun
This a sneak attack, the flow is potent like 80’s crack
A sudden and powerful delivery of lyrics
I’m the voice for the people don’t know how to rap
Representing those who lack the skill of rapping
I’m speaking from my perspective, everyday I live it
Expressing my personal experiences
The racial undertone is real, if you black you get it
The racial bias is evident to black individuals
If you white you might, if you tan you can
White individuals may understand, tan individuals have a chance
If you a angry black man, then yo ass is gettin canned
Angry black men are often penalized
I live in a city full of racists
Reside in a place with many prejudiced individuals
Stay in your place lil boy, that’s how they look at ya
Discriminatory individuals expect submission
Rest in peace to Prodigy
Respect for the deceased Prodigy
Once again it’s on
I am ready to proceed once more
I’m feeling righteous bro, my conscience got the best of me
I am morally upright, guided by my conscience
Negativity only means God is testing me
Challenges and negativity are tests from God
My music gon’ always be my reputation
My music defines who I am
And a lover, and a spitter, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with her
I am a poet, and I want to be with my love forever
