"Stokos might..but your excuses don't deliver."

Circa 2012-2014

lyrics

(Verse 1)
It's been a rough year...but still I'm persevering //
I was born to spit rhymes, ain't no part time volunteering! //
I lost it all to the game, I cherish fam I'm grateful //
I play for keeps my heart embedded to the beats //
So my words become a vortex that's linked to the streets //
I gotta eat.. Big plates, kick rocks with those slivers //
Stokos might..but your excuses don't deliver //
The corners full of drunks with those and bad livers //
& I'm bout dead tired of tellin' em Never Give Up.. //
It's like a mirror.. God will put that fear in ya //
Crabby attitude'll trap ya latitude & altitude //
She told me switch my mood, check it Son! You be rude //
Drunk from liquor in the mixup'll get you fisticuffs //
Green paper is the meal? You'll never get enough.. //
Learn to live with regrets, spaz on mics like Kellindo wit the frets //
& stay fresh 'til they mourning your death.. You feel me?

(Chorus)
First I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again...
O Baltimore
Why it gotta be like that?
You can find such beauty to the ugliest of sin
O Baltimore
You deserve a pat on the back!
Cause you showed me how to grind & prepared me win
O Baltimore
Will we ever be on the map?
First I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again...
O Baltimore
You made me & that's a rap

(Bridge)
Yeah!
It's real people, real places..
You can either love us or hate us
But you will not break us
And trust me, you will respect us..

(Verse 2)
See I wake up thank the Lord knowing that I could be gone //
Each day gives me strength to carry on, that's why I make songs //
Each bar is a bond to The Most High //
So I won't apologize if I shed tears & cry //
When I didn't understand was like Stevie with his Superstitions.. //
Had to retreat to my Innervisions.. //
Found a love that became my true religion //
No Unitedivision, just ill rhymes and a rhythm //
They want me dead or in prison, they hate a young G livin! (YOU ALREADY) //
His truest potential, I built my physical & mental //
It's real simple.. & Ray Lewis showed me why //
Effort is between YOU & YOU - No lie //
So when my time comes to die.. There will be no regrets.. //
Maybe from the ones who stayed silent - please repent //
For you left your brother in the gutter at his lowest.. //
But check me out, see me shining cause my flow the dopest!
You know dis!

(Chorus)
First I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again...
O Baltimore
Why it gotta be like that?
You can find such beauty to the ugliest of sin
O Baltimore
You deserve a pat on the back!
Cause you showed me how to grind & prepared me win
O Baltimore
Will we ever be on the map?
First I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again...
O Baltimore
You made me & that's a rap
