An everyday struggle to build your legacy

came from the bottom, respect the energy

latchkey kids, we said no to drugs

giving back to those who ain’t have none

with flow for days inside this purple haze

while the law is trying to keep us in a maze

so be noble and embrace your flaws

and drink out of GRAMMYS with paper straws

look at us now, we went from slave chains

to bitcoin and Robinhood stock trades.

Fist full of dollars, pockets full of rubber bands

and we still using proper pronouns on the ‘Gram

we do this for the colonized and oppressed

for George Floyd before he took his last breath

we do it for the trenches, for the project benches

for liberation and for freedom of expression

showing and proving no matter where we play

Spread love, be noble … it’s the Brooklyn way.
