palermo stone - legends never die lyrics

i wish everything i said in the public came with disclaimers
happiness hunting, y’all f-ggots wanna be famous
poetry in motion got b-tches snappin they fingers
in the face of a danger i feel the wings of my angels
when it rains there are rainbows
when it shines, imma rhymes, for the foolish minds, on a dime
til there’s a comma in my car note
talking legal ‘case you 5-0
you want my time, it’s expensive like movado
son need then bottles, newest one ganna need that swaddle
young with power, through the wire, like i’m merlot
take a sip of merlot
ill be pouring moët
work hard, play hard
i ain’t taken no rest
hit em with the contract i ain’t making no less
this here non negotiable – i ain’t really sociable
i be highly searchable, in places i will never go
places i may never see
posted at my corner store
cops think imma corner boy
8 ball in my corner pocket
now my carpets wall to wall
wouldn’t dream of falling off
well connected n-gga
wouldn’t dream of logging off
see me in public
man you wouldn’t dream of popping off
i’m popping dawg
silly n-gga knock it off
last time hustling, i f-cked up like a rack of soft
decided i was backing off
try to get this rapping off
now my pockets getting fat
i wouldn’t dream of slacking off

[spoken word]

i present to you, a proclamation of palermo stone
born tyrone jordan campbell, on april 5th 1989
in mckeesport pa
the sun shines on our town, i see the rays peeking through
the barred windows of my 8 by 8 foot room in which i call home
you see that glimpse of light gives me hope
you see cause once i open this window
i see a land of hopelessness, famine and addiction
i see my future. whether a hustler or a customer, these are my people
this is my home
you know when i travel to different areas…
you know where people are nice
i don’t feel safe
these k!llers are comforting
these are my folk …
i don’t know if i can live any other way
i don’t know if i want to live any other way
does it sound silly
does it sound crazy
maybe im inst-tutionalized
they gave us a field, a playground and a hoop court
laundromat, corner store and a bar
what more do you need?
is there anything even out there?

as i look back at the thoughts of 11 year old me
i wonder how i ever made it here
i wonder how i beat the odds
it’s no longer church and state but i still thank god
i could be gone from this earth like so many i know
or knew rather
i shed one tear for humanity
and 2 for the mothers of these lost souls
i’m the exception to the rule
i thank god i made it through
