Dopeman (My Allocution)
First of all I’d like to apologize and bow my head most gratefully
Cause in some way shape or form, under that hat, I conquered peacefully
Now everybody in the game want a piece of me
But I still don’t give a fuck, I’m just trying to stay C
Stay C without allowing you all to out pace me, out race me,
Without reasonable doubt, I’d bow out most gracefully
But I guess this means I plead guilty ---
Guilty of being real and asking why I feel how I feel
Guilty of a viscous defense and guilty of swaying both sides of that fence
I mean…
I don’t have to spit it through the wire, survive 9 shots, or kill to know this shit is real
Just like you don’t have to be raped, buried, or pure hatchet to know how hurt is when you feel
HOOK
I ain’t come from the ghetto, in my life I only lived 23% of it poor,
Just like I ain’t trying to go to heaven but still came knocking on heaven’s door
If you had to conquer all that I’ve seen and have witness to become
You’d understand my strategy of playing so dumb…
Then it hit me…
While being processed at the station, the pig said he don’t get too many with my description
And he set a taste in my mouth that made me guiltier then my registration
I now know I have an invincible pro, one that could conquer any money mission
Set my dreams afloat on stars as I lay in the barracks single bed looken to the sky just wishin
A darker, deeper, criminal link – I think
HOOK
Night nurses, rough riders, black boys in the hills – my only survival when battling wills
I ain’t do it for the thrills, it’s the boot camp of survival ---
Not even my boss know how far will I go to conquer my rival
To me, I don’t think I am a criminal… trafficking drugs, I mean the offense is minimal
I ain’t the bubble but I still will kick your ass with minimal spades
I know my enemy weak when I sneak in and he evades
At first, I was PISSED I was being watched, stalked and recorded
So I gave you some hell of that paperwork, I hope it all was properly reported
So tell me Mr Officer – what did I do so bad that you wanna lock me up and throw away the key
Is it because I only obey and abide the code of loyalty – in the trenches I survived – all you against me
