Lyrics

[Verse 1: Godemis] My dude used to be the kingpin of the street Pump like seven days straight out of the week with no sleep Rolled in the beach, rolling the trees up Smoking and dip in the whip Hittin' the turns like he don't give a shit 'Cause if he crashes then that can be some kind of resolve Plus every time he tries to balance legally he falls For all the clapping ain't no kind of applause from the crowd They only move in when them gun blasts ring out I got a call from my [?] like Yesterday he said that somebody drove by Sprayin' right at his path, they screeched off after tagging his dad In the back now he may never return, the high was prior to that The shit is wack, true enough indeed, but Considering it's pops push pounds of weed 'nough The only thing coming from under is people poppin' Bruise marks 'round the corner because the city is rotten like [Verse 2: Ubiquitous] I rep civility, keep the peace Even got thugs feelin' me to keep the peace Tucked in they waistbands, stuck in a wasteland Sick is the superflu, I make stance My hustle is straight Back in the day bustin' on tape Nowadays up in the place, crushing a break They can't hold me, I'm rushing the gate Chest out, stressed out, clutchin' my face How much can I take? Test my crew, Ces the glue that got 'em stuck on Stupid-like dudes like "you don't even do it right" Well me and mine will drive through the night Get to the spot spittin' it hot, keep it true to life Cue the lights! I shoot 'em right in their third eye, their chakra burst Rest of life they walk the Earth And y'all destiny is better than rocks and work Glocks and turf, a product the blocks you'll serve I heard shots down the street, get off of your feet Heads run with redrum, the swallow is cheap Fuck you gon' do? Just let the hood rot from the inside out Watch what you could stop 'cause [Chorus] My block's rotten from the inside out And my street's rotten from the inside out And my hood's rotten from the inside out You know the whole city rotten from the inside out My block's rotten from the inside out And my street's rotten from the inside out So my hood's rotten from the inside out You know the whole city rotten from the inside out [Verse 3: Vertigone] They enforce the relics They're lost in [?], I'll let us Plot with [?], the cost vendetta's so peak I'm altruistic so I know these scars So pay now or payout, like it's [?] They get bound in feather and found in skeletal corpses Tarred and feathered and marked with letters of scarlet Then I [?] this [?] Cenobites We've been aligned, vilify, legitimize villainy They scrape on the bottom like a centipede slithering literally Bellowing litanies, war cries Your vision is blurred I command from a beacon that can spit in a bird's eye They'll interject at the cost of patience And militant with minimal compensation I stand firm from a distance Can never let this shit fly They rotten from the inside out [Verse 4: Lucid] Hip hop is rotten from the inside out You know why, so many clues to go by, it ain't hard to tell The devil marks its wealth sellin' syndicates Tellin' 'bout shit they don't have so they wish they did Big whips and cribs, this wicked business investing convincing them It's better to serve the twenty-five to life on a prison bid Than score ninety-five percent on a written quiz, how sick is that? Considering that most of these kids lack accredited schools So opportunity for jobs to pursue when they graduate Oh way to go, the neighborhood ain't safe no more 'cause rappers on the radio telling them how to make some dough And who's gonna say this so when they begin to play the role Those they idolize realize the ratio of those that makes Compared to those that don't It's no joke, now they're going for broke and so it goes [Chorus] My block's rotten from the inside out And my street's rotten from the inside out And my hood's rotten from the inside out You know the whole city rotten from the inside out My block's rotten from the inside out And my street's rotten from the inside out So my hood's rotten from the inside out You know the whole city rotten from the inside out
