mars ill – wicked ways lyrics

[intro]
you can change your ways/
you can change your ways/
elevate to date/

[verse 1]
i dropped albums in the 90s, the foundation for all of this/
i figured if i had it, then, why shouldn’t i offer it/
i learned the politics of the business and stretched my limits/
expanded my horizons and diversified my interests/
personalized my verses instead of using gimmicks/
so i could look my children in the eye when i was finished/
it’s a simple plan, from this ordinary simple man/
raise a revolution, and forget about the fickle fan/
we built these walls on a shoestring budget/
held our breath and decided to release it to the public/
many loved it and moved in, strengthening these two men/
pretty soon, we had the funds to put a roof in/
the blueprint, well that’s something that we’d argued for/
sent a and rs and labels back to the drawing board/
regulations and rules, fine print we wasn’t falling for/
you were there all along and it makes me love you all the more

[hook]
tried my best to raise you right, but you’ve gone wicked ways/
the decisions you make the roads you take and the games you play/
are leading you astray/
tried my best to raise you right, but you’ve gone wicked ways/
there ain’t a minute a day i don’t think how you feeling today/
i’ll say all i gotta say then i’m a give it away/
tried my best to raise you right, but you’ve gone wicked ways

[verse 2]
i feel like i know you, raised you and clothed you/
with raw material i systematically broke you/
down to the essence of your inner child/
and if you ask me for an inch than i’m the type to give a mile/
in this style of street magic, it’s down to a truth/
bathed you in the fountain of youth, in a sound that you knew/
i gave you words that dug so much deeper than music/
you ran with it, or told yourself that it was stupid/
either way, you fool with dust beats and couldn’t front/
life captured on cd as days turned to months/
go the way you want but stop acting like you don’t know/
speed racing ‘til you see po+po then go slow/
at the show taught god wouldn’t even walk blind/
just be honest with me next time/
this ain’t just rhyme, it slips into your skin/
so if you’re listening to this, then i consider you my friend

[verse 3]
i think about it too much, sometimes life is screwed up/
people run with cliques and clans, like the ku klux/
a few touch greatness but to most it’s a grind/
another race to run, another slope to climb/
and the wicked way is downhill and easier to navigate/
travel at a faster rate with parlor tricks to fascinate/
everybody seems to be moving through so easily/
you look in the mirror and start thinking yo what’s keeping me/
you never thought to double check with the atlas/
and what really matters is where the end of the path is/
the method in my radness is deep rooted in passion/
my love for god is action and my response is massive/
fact of the matter is days and nights clashing/
raise the light burning my faith into practice/
no flash in the pan, no sprint, this is a marathon/
my shoulders is strong, and i’m begging y’all to tag along

[outro]
if you try your best, you can change your ways/
i’ve seen what you think, rap is trashy/
do you see what you could’ve been/
a song is garbage if it’s all about cash/
you can change your ways/
tried my best to raise you right, but you’ve gone wicked ways/
a song is garbage if it’s all about cash/
do you see what you could’ve been, or what you’ve become
