Quicksand - Tech N9ne, Stevie Stone, Godemis

Yeah

The homie Don P called the big fella in to talk about this repetitive ass cycle

that we livin' in the hood

No matter how much we struggle, how much we fight

It seems like the perpetual quicksand is always grabbing us and pulling us back

down

So I’m not here to play the victim or no shit like that you know what I mean

But with that being said

If a pussy run his mouth about yo boy I’ma sock him

Hang a chopper out the window of the low, get to choppin'

Mind frame of a slave in the days of pickin' cotton

Only difference nowadays your favorite rappers say it’s poppin'

Pushin' product to my people, living evil for the profit

Stay hungry, gotta get it any means, that’s my logic

Who gives a fuck about destruction, who I’m crushin' for this dollar

Hard times make me holler, gots to get up out this squalor

Push a cherry red Impala with these cherry Chucks on

Who gives a fuck what you think of me, let it be known

So proud of my pedigree, strong as King Kong

Until the last breath of me, this the shit I’m on

Mind frame of a soldier, I’m at war with my people

Wicked teachings from these demons planted deep in my cerebral

Yet I’m smart enough to know it but the knowledge ain’t enough

To get the fuck up out of here I gotta get above quicksand

I ain’t never been a quitter, they don’t come no realer

I’ma stand up nigga, quicksand

As long as I’m livin' all I know is go get it

Ain’t no fucks given, quicksand

I’m in too deep, no turnin' back now

I’m playin' for keeps, quicksand

I ain’t had no sleep, I am these gutters, I am these streets

I pray for anyone living under duress to be blessed

Created to be free ain’t no reason to see any less

I peep the social media leading to giving me stress

The black lives matter is really a lot of BS

Could we just attempt to be honest with one another

Talk about the kid you know with no father who got a mother

Older brother was a positive figure in the community

Who caught a case and ended up wasting his opportunity

As soon as we get real with the will to address the evil

It becomes crystal clear every one of us still inequal

Don’t believe in any system they say was made to defeat you

If any of it matters at all it has to be fecal

I’ve had it up to here about the talk about reparations

We need to steer the focus on getting some education

They say it’s the white people hating, they ain’t attacking you

Nobody black is packing up tryna go back to Africa

Facts

I ain’t never been a quitter, they don’t come no realer

I’ma stand up nigga, quicksand

As long as I’m livin' all I know is go get it

Ain’t no fucks given, quicksand

I’m in too deep, no turnin' back now

I’m playin' for keeps, quicksand

I ain’t had no sleep, I am these gutters, I am these streets

Yup

They in the trap now

I said them backyard niggas don’t back down

They used to bend a couple corners with the straps out

They got a short fuse, they act out

Got lean, got dope, got the packs now

All day in and out up out the crack house

Got to worry about the law, and the money, and the bitches

No love for the game, nigga everybody snitchin'

What’s real

I ain’t never been a quitter, they don’t come no realer

I’ma stand up nigga, quicksand

As long as I’m livin' all I know is go get it

Ain’t no fucks given, quicksand

I’m in too deep, no turnin' back now

I’m playin' for keeps, quicksand

I ain’t had no sleep, I am these gutters, I am these streets
