Y.G.A (Young , Gifted , Authentic) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm tired of the evils
And I'm tired of my peoples
This shit feels like Dilated Peoples
They lie and try to keep you to deceive you
We tired, and we tryina' end it too cause we tired of the sequels
Whatever they trying to come up with ain't it
Praise god, I'm tryina' find out why we all sick
I remember the day my auntie died of cancer
Genetically I'm subject to the same shit
If everything happen for a reason, man that ain't shit
You think they ain't got the cure.. you sure?
Listen through the doors
And you can hear applause
You try to play the game, you'll start to win awards
You try to play the game, maybe you can see the pause
They'll try to shut you up, just to keep you on the floor
Damn..and society kinda' raw with it
These are the thoughts of the Young , Gifted , And Authentic
[Verse 2]
What I'm trying to do is positive
Completely honest
I promised Imma' be hot knowing nothing completely promised
Got my best foot forward I'm flowing never go left
But I write never knowing where the next foot going
So I'm stressed
This is creation at best
And If my rhyming don't work, Hopefully I'll be realized through my death
I seen people with opportunities
In my community fall fluently, musically to people that rhyme
But no amount of this positive shit, could ever promise that kid
That he won't become a statistic to crime
I think I'm providing hope to the folks that need it the most (Church)
Provide the water for seeds that need it to grow (Church)
Can't fake it I've always been one to work
I'm showing niggas my art, I've always been Wonderworks
And I'm keeping it kinda' raw with it
These are the thoughts of the Young , Gifted , And Authentic
I'm tired of the evils
And I'm tired of my peoples
This shit feels like Dilated Peoples
They lie and try to keep you to deceive you
We tired, and we tryina' end it too cause we tired of the sequels
Whatever they trying to come up with ain't it
Praise god, I'm tryina' find out why we all sick
I remember the day my auntie died of cancer
Genetically I'm subject to the same shit
If everything happen for a reason, man that ain't shit
You think they ain't got the cure.. you sure?
Listen through the doors
And you can hear applause
You try to play the game, you'll start to win awards
You try to play the game, maybe you can see the pause
They'll try to shut you up, just to keep you on the floor
