(verse 1)
There's a place in the america that they want me to be
locked up in a prison or staring at my TV
brainwashed in society as i slave for a wage
they don't want someone like me speaking to ya'll from a stage
because i'm real, raw, and i might just spark a riot
in this police state we live in because of the words i'm writing
but i'm just here to enlighten ya'll on all the ways we living
rise and shine, ease my mind (devise my grind) get up get out and get it
black dickies, black T's, FUCK looking fly
my grind is do or die ain't shit cute about the rhymes
out to manifest my destiny while mastering my time
while i flip these dirty pennies into dimes

(Chorus)
i represent
the hustle
the drugs
the gutter punks and thugs
the money that i got out of the mud
yea i represent
them Shadows (outlaws)
and the streets
and everybody that's screaming lets get free
fuck the system its corrupted
that's why I'm screaming Hit em up
got me living just like FUCK IT
with my middle fingers up

(verse 2)
Ever since i came out the womb its been so evident
i was put here in this world to change it for the better
shit, i done raised some hell and done my share of dumb degenerate
activities but actually it helped in my development
now i rep the shadows life and spread it thru my residence
push it like i did with pounds but not to get the presidents
Not to be up higher get some hoes or for the hell of it
i'm doing this shit so the future don't seem so desolate
the evidence, is when you look around there something wrong
They build prisons stead of bridges, fast food chains instead of farms
they put fear in us with media spread lies to me and you
so that we will underestimate the things that we could do
all the changes we could make if we made plans to see em thru
they drop bombs on other countries but don't think that weed is cool
think it thru, they don't care about us, this system is fucked
so imma stand here ten toes down middle fingers up for the

(chorus)

(verse 3)
I'm a paranoid ass pusher pistol ready to pop
all my god damn life i've been picked up by the cops
i'm that kid who hop trains like a gypsy's and squats
city to city shadows outchea like streetlights on the block
whether you like or not, we ain't going nowhere just growing
take a look around there's one of me in every home
i'm the youngin doin drugs because his life feels incomplete
i'm that misfit freak that walks to a different beat
i was raised out in these streets stealing shit and jumping fences
skipping class to hit some grass, sidewalk slam and paint some bridges
i'm an anarchism advocate, the nihilistic punker
i'm the mother fucking underground, the dreamers and the drunkard
starving artists and musician dedicated to the night
sick of always serving tables mane and fuck a 9-5
i'm a mother fucking felon, so my future ain't that bright.
but fuck it dog, cuz I rep that shadows life.
