Searching - Mark Battles, Forever M.C.

I can feel it in the air

This is special, this whole moment, this whole time (Yes!)

It ain’t ever felt like this

I don’t gotta do too much talking in this one

This for my day one’s

I just wan’t ya’ll to enjoy it

Got lost in depression, had to pick myself up off the ground

Crazy streets, a trap town, gotta hold my city down

Love my brother Cannon, he stay solid so he with me now

I’m a king up in this ring, gat ain’t a thing, go fifty rounds (Yep yep)

«Momma, why our life so hard?

Why we gotta sleep in cars?»

«Don't worry 'bout it baby, you keep dreamin'

You 'gon reach the stars!»

(Uh)

Nigga, I’d die for mine, don’t try and snatch a piece of ours

Live my life day to day, I pray we get to see tomorrow

Babies dying, mommas crying

Hard to try and keep my faith (Woo)

Put me right in Jesus' face, lot of things I need to say

I don’t mean no disrespect, we just need some intellect

Inner-city violence, niggas killin' just to get a check

Suburban kids in Zombieland, poppin' pills to kick the stress

Sit depressed and live in debt, all that shit to get respect

My life is full of sacrifices

And we really came from nothin' so I’ma grab the nicest (Right)

On 41st on Boulevard, I ain’t have a license (Nah)

But I kept a decent whip and had the baddest wifey

You don’t have to like me

Long as you see this shit

Just kept it real and now these hoes is on our penises (Right)

I think it’s time to flood the city on some Katrina shit (Yah)

Same ones that called me dumb, praise us as geniuses (Wow)

No ingredients or guidelines

Best bet, keep watching from the sideline

I’m in the game, prime time

Drop the heat like (Oh)

All them niggas washed up

Feel like your whole set Brillo

Yes, real’o, wave it back and forth until we

Riley, my squad define me, no

Blood don’t equal loyalty, well love don’t heal, the checks will though

And my thoughts reflect and take a sec' and soul search (Search)

Lookin' for answers like I’m copyin' your homework (Haha)

Daddy duties, I still gotta make it home first (I love you)

Time to step up to the plate, and I’m on first

It’s Battles

It’s for my day one’s
