K. Dub - World and Me Lyrics

I think there's a void between the world and me
I wanna see the world but need the world to see
How it is for me, a black kid in a city of hope
I never said I had the grittiest quotes
Just a small city with a small chance of getting out
Yea I get it now, that's the main reason why I'm spitting now
I'm down with the get down, I aint sitting down
Gotta thank the Elm cuz it taught me how to get around
Ever since I moved out
I realized I owe the Elm so lemme show the Elm
Lemme show the world that my city got some heart
Looking for the hidden dreams, I can feel it bouta start right now
I get the same feelings after dark
Like the killings bouta start
Overthink it then I spark
I'm glad I don't drink away my thoughts
Overthinking every thought
I can feel it bouta start right now

I gotta do it right now
Anything I think about right now
I'm writing til the light's out
Go to sleep, wake up when the light's out

Everywhere I go my eyes moving like a fiend
I can't have my mama crying cuz she lost me in the streets
I got lost up in the scheme, failed myself about 3 times
Yea I'm black so I pray you don't give me time
I just need some time to perfect every rhyme
Every time I play a rhyme, you look at me like it's a crime
I just walk the land we built
Every time I go outside, why my mans get killed
Every time I go outside
I ask myself do I need some heat right now, cuz it's cold outside
Or can I spit enough heat to make em go inside
Make em put the guns down and really learn what's write
I tell em learn their rights, always follow what I write
Cats overly hype, they just looking to fight
I'm just looking for peace, I'm looking to write
I need a break so tell me how it's looking tonight

I gotta do it right now
Anything I think about right now
I'm writing til the light's out
Go to sleep, wake up when the light's out

Yo I'm feeling like a cop on this beat
I'm bouta start killing, watch em drop in the streets
Lyrics are my bullets, bouta cock it and squeeze
But this is legal, I aint copping a plea
Please stop the police from ceasing the peace
And please put an end to this deadly disease
You ain't deadly as me
You high off of power, you only feel secure when we dead in the streets
