about

METAPHYSICAL says R. I. P. Christopher Wallace
aka The Notorious B. I. G.. My flow from Niggas Bleed.

***4.5-Figures Thieves Just Like Us, picture me being there-
When your weeds left uncared smell so robust,
Figures Thieves Just Like Us, picture me being broke-
Up in place make no mistake take before they look,
Figures Thieves Just Like Us, picture me being stranded-
In a town without fash cash just needing a ride and,
I better not be hungry do what I know,
The hustle y'all victory first before I fall***

lyrics

4.5-When I was younger, I lived in a town near Fresno county,
Moms took us all, by Cougar Mercury-
Out Pasadena, away from a city called Devil Lanes,
Mom's brain wasn't strange she kept the kid arranged,
1-Away from city things and circumstances strange and-
This to keep alive kid supposedly,
If not, the city's hot and troubles gone brew,
Imagine thieving as a teen, police they treat you mean,
1-They eyes do not hide they better than you be-
So be cool don't say a word know what I mean,
Or you be asking for some help, that be your mistake,
My cousin told me stories of sheriffs killing by a Pyramid Lake-
4.5-That's kinda funny maybe, they shady, the Devils crazy-
Lives in communities rolling soon will invade thee-
And they locking up our babies, that's way out I got-
Facts on paper no doubt, shutting they mouth, gatekeepers-
4.5-In house, something from nothing's coming to me, my cousin-
Had the lead to get us what we need, check this out,
" I know a house to get, end of town out the sticks,
So much merchandise from pawn shop you think you rich,
1-Money to make you flip, out the kitchen food delics-
Everybody get dinéro this no longer a wish, "
I thought about it like, we'll yeah man that's so live-
Check the garage find a car inside, " Philip pay attention-
4.5-You with us or you snitching, bet not say nothing-
Cause them jobs don't pay work extra hours, for the extra dollar,
And still you lost, working for somebody you follow-
Till' you retire in the mire shallow wallow-
***4.5-Figures Thieves Just Like Us, picture me being there-
When your weeds left uncared smell so robust,
Figures Thieves Just Like Us, picture me being broke-
Up in place make no mistake take before they look,
Figures Thieves Just Like Us, picture me being stranded-
In a town without fash cash just needing a ride and,
I better not be hungry do what I know,
The hustle y'all victory first before I fall***
1.5-Smoke weed, every day this for shieze-
Because a quarter pound cost $60 I charge $150-
Kinda sneaky, no intelligence you need be meeting,
Warrior not from Florida, this California don't sleep,
1.5-The summer time had made us all feel like the worker-
Ant be on ground someone can hurt ya-
This phase these days, long story hustle about my way,
Man's on come up wish for hip-hop take him from this place,
4.5-Country baking, what's up summers hot them sun rays-
With my t-shirt on sweating so foul, man just had to say that,
October month do be strange in ways-
Indian summers are for looting this for real not play-
4.5-These, little kids are thieves, probably less-
Older than what you think put this on something that breathes-
It's fun doing jobs that make a little money in pocket,
Getting paid off dirty hustle professional when I rock it-
4.5-This done so well, back in day the whole neighborhood would say-
1-" Perfect mistake, leaving your place " my song-
Talks about premeditated crime in family,
Shucks, it's the animal with emotions that are intangible,
1.5-To strike it rich, just like I suggested,
The mighty 1% did this, then they changed the map,
I swear to God I sit back and take a full breath-
Thank the Lord for my day, and thank my moms for my flesh,
4.5-And If she cry from aneurysms codeine the best,
Pop open prescription bottle to soothe the pain the problem,
...I lost thought, got it back avoid prison,
Heard my conscious speaking had to listen from stupid-
4.5-Troubles got to dipping, I know my homies back in Goshen-
Wonder how's man living the sticky finger flipping never-
Slipping, my story's all proof, facts surround it-
Man was living on hustle in the country side no doubt it-
Really had me thinking, what next come violence-
Man I need to keep my focus, so let me quiet,
And keep your hustle strong.
