True story.... Hip Hop Saved Me

lyrics

We arrived on the rise on the ride to excellence
the 'ignit' get with it , as well as the intellegnet
cause nowadays they playing tricks with yo gas
thats funkin' with yo food
which means yo ass
if we don't get organized and switch the conversation
not applied to you , I mean ya babies generation
then we mine as well stop reproducing
but that'll be the day when JG stops producing....
never, never comes
be careful with ya tounge
it's deadly like a machine gun
where Im from? and probably ya hood too
it's always the fakest that portray to be the true
so what you do?
keep ya life separate
let them be salty while we sprinkle the peppers
you don't need the fake necklace
just take it to ya essence and God will be present! yea!

chorus:
Milwaukee raised me, Hip Hop saved me
they say we crazy but they can't fade me
vivafidel is more than a name
consider me a weapon i spit wit aim

pushing through the poltricks, I don't side step
self-made vet
i warn you bout the threats
and do a dilligent delivery
the spirits talk to me so I know that they hear me
and clearly I'm drove by a bigger cause
so I'm speedin past while ya stuck lookin lost
we knowing bout banging and slangin since the 70s
the world waiting on something new, check out my melody
you fresh off the slave ship , talkin that slave shit
our job is to uplift and take you higher
I take you higher than the average cat
I'm more like a Black Panther
with that 10 point answer

talk innerlude:
YO and we already know
Milwaukee is just a small piece of the planet
its not where you're from, its where you're at
and we not talking about physically
cause we keep it moving & we keep it grooving!

chorus:
Milwaukee raised me, Hip Hop saved me
they say we crazy but they can't fade me
vivafidel is more than a name
consider me a weapon i spit wit aim

yea, this is the business fa sho
I got plenty mo
we 414
survival of the fittest
you better hope you got a witness
cause MPD is evil as the devil
no matter ya level
we in this together
since before the beginning fightin for life
now we fightin this system of oppression on site
I write to incite the original warriors
I'm something like a forienger to a loser enviornment
if I aint winning , I aint trying it
you gonna see riots and choas
but who gonna who gone be prepared
stop, look & listen don't get scared
just roll with me and be revolutionized
then take it back to ya people and change some lives
now is our time
the truth steal the shine
cause we straight up dying with the blind leading the blind

chorus:
Milwaukee raised me, Hip Hop saved me
they say we crazy but they can't fade me
vivafidel is more than a name
consider me a weapon i spit wit aim
