El Michels Affair & Black Thought - I Would Never Lyrics

[Verse 1]I'm from where true regard for human lives is few and farAnd haters'll shoot they shot at you out of a movin' carWe place our wishes of makin' it out on a shootin' starBe whoever you need to be, just don't forget who you areI could switch clothes conveniently just to get through the doorAnd in Flipmode, the scene almost seemingly knew it allI used to lift loads of spiritual baggage and threw it offIf you made it here by the grace of God, then do your jobBe ever unique as artistsTruth should be easy to mark and seek out and shoot your targеtThat's word to Shaniqwa JarvisWe rep Howard to Harvard and evеrything in betweenLook how a fire was started and destined into a dreamMy Rhodes Scholarship started with questionin' who would leadThe messenger could become your profession if you believeYour future could supersede any history, true indeedJust remember all the places we seen and what it mean215[Verse 2]When I done had no time to listen and that old-time religionDidn't have no competition, my life was long divisionStarin' at four corners, I might as well have been born in prisonWithin arm's reach of my porch, it was on a siblingWe suffer from preconditions, strugglin' to beat the systemClimbin' to reach the pinnacle only to meet suspicionTryna stand on your principles after bein' forbiddenOr go against the invincible algorithm of livin'When very broke, every day you inhale a heavy smokeWhere heavy hope and searchin' for the truth for every jokeAlready woke, standin' arms folded in the scopeSilhouettes and shadows injectin' syringes full of dopeWhen polices breakin' laws, knockin' hinges off of doorsAnd the only explanation you've received is just becauseWe repress it, then express it selectively through the barsBe whoever you need to be, just don't forget who you areListen
