You can call me the greatest dealer of all time
havin you sniffin lines of 8 by 11's
3 to 4 sheets at a time
So that brain numbing sensation
Is just the elevation of your mind
I remain on a slow grind
Changing generations of cloudy minds
One venue at a time
Using buses trains and plane
Just to show my contraband is the most potent in this game
I'll have you respecting ya girl
And tellin the truth to ya family
Just on ya first hit of me
More addictive then heroin
Havin the testimony of ya man
Change from this is my bitch
To this is my black women
See understand this is that contraband
The government don't want in ya hand
Cause no matter how many times you play it in ya decks
It comes back cooked to perfection time and time again
See this is that good grade
Huwie P Newton said gonna help us win
That contraband that has ya mama
Sendin you out again
When you come home from ya bing
See western society fears a hustler like me
I'll pimp ya kids and have them turnin tricks on literacy
Havin young girls say the hell wit kanye
We don't want D's we flashin A's on ...em
By next summer we'll two step
And walk it out wit diploma's
Havin teachers say
I can't leave this child behind
I'm gonna teach' em like he mines
This is that contraband
Changing hallucination to revelation's on how to be a man
To recieve it you don't have to do a damn thang
Just open ya ears , and I'll push it in
Makin you understand that being a good husband
Is synonymous wit god lovin
And being a good wife
Is the key to substaining a vibrant family life
I stay in the lab cultivating this art
Until every line I scribe
Give you the vibrant vibe to fall to ya knees
And say thank god I'm still alive
Cause being with out me
Will be the greatest detox of ya life
This contraband manifest's good sprits
Just look at my life
Shot up over 200 times
ain't got no tracks to hide
Wit no money
You can over dose on me on probation
And come back clean On ya urine toxication
Understand this is so serious
I pray a sista passes it on
To her unborn fetus
Becoming an epidemic
From generation to generation
Turning our poor hood to prosperous nations
Havin block parties tossin back education
So when you start jonesin and gettin sick
I got that spiritual intellectual fix
You can find me at venue near you
Sittin by candle light , counting intellectual figure's
Just come holla
I'm ya friendly neighbor hood poetry dealer
