The Message

from End Game by Graphic Melee

/

lyrics

It's the microphone menace here to kill a couple minutes
My flow's intense business. Stacking records like Guinness
I keep it solid on the microphone dominant
No stopping this. I remain prominent
My promise is select sessions every track is impressive
And I try to put a message in that's sorta like lesson
Sit back and check it yo this track's called The Message...

(Check it)
If you found that impressive, I'm progressively intrepid on the mic kickin some lessons
Bass: Kicking ya chest in
Sound wave sickness put a knot in your intestines
Leaving your mind restless
Just like a scene I saw the other day down where some of us play
Ball
Maybe close to where ya mother stay
Call
It the block
Either it had my mind rocked

This shorty must trippin
Saw him hit his girl in the lip then dip in his homeboy's whip in an instance
Tryna put in distance before her mom dials the emergency extension
Nine double uno
You know how they do though
Hour pass still ain't nobody coming through so
Just another day and it shouldn't be like this
It's the type of situation we should all be fighting...

Boy from the first verse just a weak man on a power trip
Cuz week to week some man’s got him feeling powerless
Make a profit or I'm takin you outta this life
If the count ain't right
That's being shouted in his ear daily
Living in fear
Rarely a positive word heard. So tell me how this wouldn't impair the
Thoughts of somebody with limited paths to choose from
Everyday passed it feels like we lose one
And the man from the last situation?
Tryna feed his seeds and stay out the local station
But crime pays fast when checks they ain't coming and empty promises of jobs don't fill stomachs
To break the cycle, we gotta learn from it
Turn nothing into something
Find ways earn from it and pave the turns coming
For waves others struggling
Why are we fighting ourselves and not our government?
