The Corner

This beef in the Industrys' in
the streets of the deep. Dead-End
close minded peeps that see what
they seek

Racing through time as it unravels
in a battle they face every week
polluted reasons of peace

Now I know to most people the 
top is hard to reach 

Take a closer look our dynasties 
almost deceased

Wait a sec. what about the Black
Holocaust grief we were trying to 
get free like a dog without a leash

On the corner I brought back what
was needed that was relevant 

The element of surprise to make you 
haters all relish it

I was a virgin to the rap game I came
just for the hell of it 

I know some of these popped cherries 
wish they could turn back Celibate. 

But it's cool because Cats acknowledge 
kids in colleges it don't matter
whether you got in with scholarships

What's important is in the end we can
look back at those accomplishments.
