The deep connection we develop with some rappers through their music triggers a relationship thats closer than they will ever know. Some keep it inside, some talk about it to their friends, and some send fan mail hoping it will reach the person they feel so related to.

Whatever makes the pockets thickin Fuck police and no remorse for the beasts that’s lost on the streets, that pistol whip a priest for a crosspiece Some lost sheep, runnin thru strips, thinkin of top dealers Fillin Tek clips, wit ‘cop killers’ that could stop gorillas Shovin a stubnose in buttholes, I’m nutso skitzo, clepto, killin shit up throughout the metro My thug essence will always keep me plugged with drug investments Sketch my reference, takin papers considered preference And violations will lead to kidnappin, decapitation So what you’re facin, is realism that’s in activation Livin off land with five honeys playin my hand Me and fam, sippin’ on Guinness stout and eatin clams It’s all part of plans, a vet chillin in Tamps, West and Stans Outta state connect, slugs, sex, drugs and grands
