The Fall & Rise Of Elliott Brown
作詞：F Leaneir, Xavier Lorenzo Mosley, Timothy Jerome Parker
I mean, I got years man, I go back, actually
I just got back to these streets man, this is home to me though
You mean, I was goin' for a while, ten years to be exact
I lost my lights in the streets, you know but for these streets
Me and my dude, we got down and dirty for it, man
We did every thang, we took, know what I mean, to eat
That's what it's about when I was comin' up in the 80's
Everybody tried to eat man and my way livin' to eat, man
I gurped in theses streets, I grind
Walked to these streets here, nah'mean?'
Got to get this bread, got to get this dough
Got to get these chips, got to get these whips
And fits and got to get real mean, got to get real clean
Got to get these fiends a fixin'
On a mission to get rich real quick use wit' no intermission
Got to live big, gettin' the tip on them big [Incomprehensible]
So spendin' spendin', any witness get hit quick
This lick isn't never no kid shit
Not a picnic, flip biscuit, get rich, that's it
Big bills, just Ben's, no frills, just Benz's
Spendin' endless spendin' sprees
Limitless, build it up to the millions
Then I can have things, like a new fly ring and a new fly fling
I can do Irene, Darlene, Charlene and Francine, even get
Inside Pam's jeans, as clean as you ever did see on the scene
Doin' real big things as I pimp this simple system
Then I hear sirens and I see high beams
Now I am flyin' but they're behind me
Now I'm on one knee and the dope's on me
Now my hope's gone see and I lost my freedom
Locked up, see ya
He was a young lad off of happiness and smiles
He was sprung bad, wanted all the trendy classy
Number one fads in a very short time
Learned the rules of combat
Learned who was a punk and who would have swung back
How to take from the weak, especially when hungry
While mama's workin' two jobs and daddy's gone away
And police be throwin' you vibes even at a young age
And it was like he was livin' in a cage
From the outside world 'cause he just couldn't relate

And then life really began and trifeness
Was a given when he graduated
The fall
So he hustled, doin' whatever just to get the bread and mustard
Stacked high, grew wit' some niggaz that he trusted
He shouldn't have though, 'cause them same niggaz got him busted
And 'bout the same time he 'bout to get sent up
His ex-girl is like, 'I'm pregnant baby, daddy, plus it's twins'
And when he goes to jail, he has company
In the form of fifty percent of the cats he grew up with
Gets out, goes back, just like a puppet
Caught in a genocidal death trap of the government
The don't rehabilitate, they just be lovin' it
When niggaz is in the pen 'cause that's big money makin' to them
The rise
For some time he sat and pondered
Trapped in a cell filled with criminals and convicts
Time had arrived to confront the real conflict
Lookin' within, not without, he got honest
Started to read and acquire that self knowledge
Learned he was royalty and didn't come from garbage
How to embrace struggle and learn from his problems
True wealth is health, family and a higher consciousness
Learned that most of what he was taught was nonsense
Read up on economics and how to start a business
Self determination and dedication empowered him
Somethin' inside him told him only God could stop him
Now he's out livin' what others said was impossible
Thought he would be another victim of ghetto obstacles
Through the concrete, a rosebud started to blossom
Remember change is really all that remains constant, yeah

Hey, B-Cam, this is your sister Dee-Dee
I was just callin' to tell you that I gone to see Frankie
And I told him that you wanted him to
Give a like what it was like to be in prison
And what advice he would give and oh, my God
I got this letter from him, Tim, you've got to hear it
This word should be in a book or a song or something
I mean really
