lyrics

Verse 1 - E Luv
I watched Katrina like what the fu-- did you expect
Survival of the fittest - byproducts of trickle down economics
Government doesn't give a fu-- about the minority
These are the same people that preach democracy with hypocrisy
They don't give a fu-- and since I know they're listening illegally
I say fu-- the government, on the record, we gotta do our own thing
They either don't care or don't have an idea what they're doing
Because for everybody in the lower tax brackets, shi- ain't working

Distance myself from motherfu--az that do nothin' for me - saved my life
Fake motherfu--az always wanna bring me down - you can save the trife
What the fu--/how the fu-- you think I made it this far
Double crosses, set ups, using people - had to do it all thus far
Do unto others before they do unto you
Motherfu--ers, I was walkin' around like fu-- the golden rule
Bendin' it, amendin' shi-, rewritin' that bitc- - my needs now it fits
If I had no money, you could care less if I was lyin' in a ditch

That's the way it is, and you know what - it's vice versa motherfu--a
You started it first - only I was worst motherfu--er to ever cross
All because I had more killer instinct honed, home grown
Instilled - just because, shi- was stacked against me from the get go
From the Jump - I'm suburban but I bring it to you Street
By the time I saw 21, I had been so persecuted socioeconomically
So much so that I had to fu--in' sit down and reflect then
Make it a point/make it my passion to help others up the ladder


Verse 2 - E Luv
I walk through life with a pissed off look - some say I look lost
Yeah lost in thought, I listen (DJ VoiceCrack: 80%) more than I talk (DJ VoiceCrack: 20%)
Un-fu--in' like you - what you need to do is shut the fu-- up
I can only learn from your mistakes you punk motherfu--er
Speaking of which, I already know I'm fu--ed and that's a problem
Rather than dwell on that shi-, I'm gonna focus on the solution
Most of the time shi- don't add up - I ain't got all the answers
But since my life is in Jeopardy, I've learned to ask the right questions

Now can you fu-- wit' that shi-
Do what you want and make these motherfu--ers take notice
Cut out all the hidin' shi- - quit actin' like a fu--in' bitc-
If you gotta be all secretive it means you're takin' penitentiary chances
And believe me, I am you, so I have insight into how the you feel
But why is there even still a question of whether we should help or kill
Same set/different suit, so I played the cards I was dealt
And no matter where you lived, nobody gives a fu-- about how you felt

Some people act like victims and get treated as such - left fu--ed
Fu--ed up, at the expense of others they try to make their come up
Motherfu--az wake up - School Daze ain't over - better learn the system
Or act like a victim should and get the fu-- up out the shit
Don't let anybody label you - what the fu-- the government gon' do
Motherfu--az ain't shi- but at the end of the day they can buy a clue
If you grab steal, grab your steal if you got to
Change the world, but put your heart into the shot - make it count fool!


Verse 3 - E Luv
I need both the thugs and the pro black militants
We gotta unify if we want to take back the fu--in' government
Break our people outta prison - cause motherfu--az just ain't listenin'
And I'm at the breaking point with all this got da-n bullshi--in'
I don't trust no motherfu--in' body
Livin' paranoid - even dude who delivers the coffee is out to get me
No, I take that back - I trust everybody I meet to fu-- me
And not for lack of trying - they just haven't succeeded

Perhaps they figure I'd bring the downfall on myself - self destruct
My movement is calculated - made it this far, not givin' up
Not givin' in - not givin' a fu-- about this self-hatin' silliness
80% of the jails and the other half dead - don't make no da-n sense
Fu-- the quote/unquote institution that they like to call the Pen
And fu-- your president, but I'll be honest - it ain't all them
I got mines, but in the scheme of things that really don't mean shi-
What good is it if everybody else is in the fu--in' toilet

This shi- ain't that hard - fu-- the capitalists, though I've benefited
Suck my dick once for every single person, place, or thing that didn't
Nouns to none to nothing be the definition - now answer this
Whose got the fu--ing answer - the communists?  the socialists?
I don't know who the fu-- it is - I just know I'm tired of fu--in' waitin'
For shi- to happen, so I'ma let motherfu--az know the situation
Fu-- the bling, cars, drugs, killing - it's laughable, your net worth
We do stick together and do great things - we just don't fu--in' network

about

E Luv Buffalo Grove, Illinois

I am the Executive Producer of Def Mute Records as well as an artist. Lyrically, not too many rappers put as many lyrics as I do into an average track that has something to say. Versatile, I get down for entertainment value as well too - with just as many lyrics....

My big accolade is the PUMA track - an explicit rap that won some admiration from groups that typically do not like rap.
