Bang Wit’ Game (Raised With Dues Paid)
05-27-05
written for a rock town comp

God tell ‘em they better kill me now / ‘fo’ they touch my seed
My fam bleed I get at it ‘cause static is problematic
Leave / this witcha what I heard on the curb where they serve
Thing that you should give and live to keep is yo’ word /
Benefits of bangin’ were lost in translation
Merge strain and affiliation equals 4Biddenation /
People forever takin’ the broken and makin’ a spot
With a backdrop of shots and sound of the knock /
The block it is they say provocative
How you gone stop the kids / never showin’ they can grow in
Any spot you live / had to straighten my dome /
When it’s on think twice half yo’ time is gone

This is for the raise from dues paid /
Who ain’t ashame to explain the moves made /
To bang with game itself is a true trade /
Who else to lead the way in these new days /

Now tell me lord is this pain to save and keep me sane /
When many be lettin’ it take’em I aim to make a change
One need only to gaze / see that evil pays
Reason prayers are prayed / even buzz or blaze
Some time cures hit worse than the hurts I search /
In the mist of fits of fighting against the cycle of curse
First manifested in the flesh / the seven deadly /
Sins are heavy we tend to carry trends so scary
Every sticka ready willin’ able feelin’ say it too /
All I know all I go through gonna get me through you /
Gonna get me to truth / with this game I roll
And say to they that’s bold speak from the soul bang wit’ game

This is for the raise from dues paid /
Who ain’t ashame to explain the moves made /
To bang with game itself is a true trade /
Who else to lead the way in these new days /
