Subtle Ka

[Hook]
I'da stayed anonymous if prominent was pure
It's about pride, so I'm outside trying to endure
I'm outside trying to endure

[Verse 1]
Paint harsh to aim the brainwash, deepen the condition
Knew defeat, want fruit to eat, had to speak it to fruition
Blocks ruined, my own pot stewing, sneaking to the kitchen
Amid disease, give 'em degrees, til they start leaving tuition
Stubborn we did it, wasn't permitted, never needed they permission
They slippin', we going fishing, if was eating; ate sufficiеnt
Street see you get defeatеd, you get treated as provision
Keep fighting, if that you needing it or heed a bit and listen
Without pull I had to press though, was being a magician
No front street; got dumb heat, see what I was risking?
(You see what I was risking?)

[Refrain]
She lift my spirit subtle, told me "this is why they love you"

[Verse 2]
Praised as poised, raised our boys to keep eye on the enemy
Draw the venetians, bought a few pieces; no required assembly
Let the Tec blaze for decades, the fire was penalty
They owe a debt that reparations can't entirely remedy
