Roar

Savor this, taste what I say, the sharp flavor is
Paperless, just sounds, get down, I'm no hater
But my favorite days in the Bay were still dangerous,
Them ravers trippin on X make-a-me vex. Relationship was
Pain and bliss--couldn't breathe or leave, I paid for it
Afraid a bit, spooked by the proof, in truth, change is
Strange and it chafes at the places you're safe--it's a major trip
But facing it, I got strong, moved along, now I labor but
Later, kid, I'll know that I made, first let's get faded

You know I got all that grade A shit 

And you can hit it one time to open the door
Hit it two times to even the score
Hit three times, I done it before
Don't quit it, son you just have to roar

Listen up, hush, don't rush in while I'm riffin'
If you're missin' I'll go slow, you know I'm on a mission though
My missles don't float yo, they spray just like my spittle
Shift a little to the left and the mist might miss
You might slip, don't trip upon this rhyme's riddles
Take your time, I save mine, then mix it like a dish up
Take a taste, don't waste, I'm kinda superstitious
If you're rude you'll get screwed, karma is quite vicious
Just be kind, unwind, and sip this fine elixir
Hit it one time to cushion the blow
Hit it two times to loosen the flow
Hit it three times then push down the door
Don't quit it son, or do I have to roar?

On Nas and AZ's Money Mentality:

love is realism, not fluff, the stuff of fantasy
f--k what they think is sexy, a true partner brings you sanity
and my humanity is peace orientated
destined for a soul mate my third eye appreciated
cuz, i was a virgin till i gave in to my urges
but when i was on the verge again i learned another version,
now some caress with kisses, others do their thing with ginseng,
brothers such as myself just want the other half that's missing
to keep alive the eternal vibe that lets the heart beat
hits em with a riddim and changes bitter to sweet
some say it's known that we all die alone
but as long as i still breathe i will believe a heart's a home, so
until that day i expire and pass in silence
i'm a turn the other cheek, kinda shy away from violence
yeah, i keep it real but what i feel is my reply
and love's a bitch, but i still try

yo love's a bitch but i still try, that's why i don't mind
when i go home, to nothin but a poem
love's a bitch but i don't mind
you know i stay kind
