[INTRO] This is for my niggas This is for my homies All over this motherfucker I'm down for Michigan And I'm from Detroit, you know what I'm sayin' [VERSE 1: ESHAM] This is for my homies who've been down since day one I ain't got to say no names cause everybody know 'em Me and my homies always gettin' high In the city where I live Nigga, it's do or die I got much love for my niggas out in Flint And every other town that gave love when I went Like Inktown, Saginaw, and Pontiac And my niggas out in Ypsi with the chronic sack And fuck the police 'cause they don't know how to treat us And now they out to get me me 'cause I told 'em kill the fetus But fuck that I'm kind of laid back And all my niggas that's down we go way back I'm not a New York rapper Or L.A. gang banger I'm a Detroit old-school crack slanger Make mo' money, mo' money Pockets like sunshine Always sunny And a sucker wants my love He gets none I only gives loves to the niggas who been down since day one [VERSE 2: ESHAM] This is for my niggas who been down with the O.G Unholy black Kunta Kinte, Toby Nigga I'm true and I ain't new to the game I got that Funkadelic locked in my Maggot Brain But tonight I'm finna give it up to my real niggas Them Reel Life niggas with their fingers on the trigger And yo, nigga don't play me like a ho I'm down to throw and I'm no CB4 Like bubblegum gangsta ass niggas with the wack funk Helter skelter? Get off my bozack, punk My name is Esham and I'm droppin' thee bomb bud Most niggas still droppin' duds My homies know what time it is though And I know my real homies down with the Devil, yo Fake niggas, you getting done This is for my homies who been down since day one [VERSE 3: ESHAM] Now I gotta put more niggas on ice The Unholy Black Devil ain't nothin' nice I'm down for the dirt And when I put in work I make punk motherfuckers run and go to church Nigga it's me The nigga you been trying to keep down Here I come Fuckin' up the underground Check mic, one, two Some Old Wicketshit for you Word After Word I run it on down the line The Unholy nigga fuckin' wit'cha mind And if I flex it, then I wrecks it, so I wreck shit My shit's phat and yours anorexic You know who be...you know who be bitin' my shit? That motherfucker named [CENSORED] [SEGUE TO NEXT SONG] [VERSE 1: ESHAM] I feel no pain when I think about my daddy I'm thinking, "Oh shit man, he never shoulda had me" I've been suicidal since the age of thirteen Now I know what puttin' in work really means My mama never loved me cause she always called me crazy Mentally phasin' me like Rosemary's Baby I never had no time to do nothing but think I gotta get my head and my dick out the sink When will I die I'm just passing time by How do I plead to homicide without an alibi Symptoms of Insanity Some say I'm just insane And all this goes on inside my Maggot Brain I feel no pain [VERSE 2: ESHAM] I feel pain when I think I get disgusted "In God We Trust" but you know I can't trust it Sometimes I wanna give it up and go and bite the bullet Swallow me a bullet from the trigger when I pull it I'm mad at the world cause I'd rather be dead My mind is playin' tricks on me, it's all in my head' It started as a little kid, my problem just increased I had me a dream, "No Justice, No Peace" Call me the Unholy Black Kunta Kinte Murder, murder, murder me like Wili Otey Symptoms of Insanity Some say I'm just insane And all this goes on inside my Maggot Brain I feel no pain [VERSE 3: ESHAM] I feel no pain cause of all the shit I been through Selling cocaine is the evil that men do I can't love nobody, Tin Man without a heart Anyway, I was fucked up from the start Mama was a junkie up 'til the day she died And at her funeral, a young nigga never cried I guess it was the fear of feeling pain on my brain Cause I didn't have shit to lose Or shit to gain Just pain
