love, i'm good

to my dear dearly departed

shit's becomin' all that i feared

here's where it started

seems that nothing's as it appears

swear it's retarded

no wonder i get speared by my peers

yeah i'm a target

it used to take a nation of millions for niggas not to be

amerikkka's most gave america hope

back when the music had a message in it

we was rebels against it

the best was intended to lessen the gimmicks

but now y'all made a mess of it

and somebody gotta address this shit

rakim would never wear a dress and shit

i ain't a pessimist to say i ain't impressed with it

your hearing's bad

you think it's alive

now that's the death in it

when it was all about bars

wanted to weddin' it

surround yourself with bullshit

you'll be liable to step in it

came here with one objective

gettin' it further

now i'm watchin' my first love die

witnessin' murder

when common stopped lovin' ol' girl

what was he tellin' me?

cold world

now she won't dig you without a melody

love nerds

used to be into niggas with felonies

we need a new president

where the fuck is eric b?

or did my wordplay confuse her?

now i see her with young thug and future

like what did you niggas do to her?

now

my generalization is this generation

the imminent state of this gentrification

desensitization

i call her

she's in marvin's room

everything is awkward now

she moved more to south

deserted her new yorker crowd

met her with a cane

she changed

prefer to walk it out

stopped eatin' meat when she heard i worked in a slaughterhouse

now she's a new dame glued to the fame

she used to hate accessorizin'

now she's wearin' two chains

relationship too strained

i don't know who to blame

when i tell her

you changed"
