    BATTILE WRAP (DEE R.I.P.)

    yo dawg..you hear about dee

    heard somebody shot his azz in philly

    he dead man..

     

    yeah..it was a case of justifiable homicide

    looked in the mirror 

    and realized 

    the reflection lied

    grabbed a bananna

    said a  hosanna

    jumped on 95

    110

    on the bend

    vision cloudy on both sides

    never wanted anybody to get close 2 me

    since age of 14

    on my christmas list

    was a death wish

    4 brother dee

    from that day i gave up livin

    and lived 2 die

    if i cant represent the black estectic

    fuckin forget it

    nigga shoot me in the eye

    livin in the jungle 

    even the kool aid is  cyanide laced

    ive seen 2 many battles 

    to wanna  battle a maafucka in cyberspace

    call out 2 satan

    right now is a hell of a time 2 attack

    caught in my own trap

    battling myself 

    in this battle wrap

     

    momma always said i take

    shyt  so seriously

    what she dont understand

    is a black man

    gotta fight for anonymity

    show a little promise 

    people talk you up like you the epitome

    all i ever wanted to be

    is maafuckin dee

    aint nothing pure 

    anymore 

    even  the ones who love you

    want too much 

    i  will give you a sliver

    peek inside my mind 

    then cancel me

    burn my body

    throw my ashes in the delaware river

    ashes to ashes 

    dust to dust

    into the storm i was thrust

    on the side of a bus

    saw printed a dollar bill

    with the words in god we trust

    call out to satan

    now is the prime 2 attack

    while im in this trap

    battling myself 

    in this battle wrap

     

    my fondest memory 

    in philly

    growing up was the rainy days

    thats when i chilled from the everyday

    drama around the way

    could be the cat who dug reading shakespeare

    sun came out 

    it was time 2 shout 

    niggaz stand clear

    intelligence

    aint worth 50 cents

    in the ghetto

    if cats is plotting 2 hurt you

    you cant be singing about rainbows

    deathblows

    comin at ya from every angle

    love 2 love  ya

    only god above ya 

    can idenitfy your body mangled

    tried to talk liberation

    but the participation was minimal

    only my femme

    akeem and dem

    and 2 reformed criminals

    from the day i was born 

    satan was on the attack

    i tried 2 stand back

    fell into a trap

    so now i battle myself

    in this battle wrap

     

    this quill has been a gift 

    and a damn curse

    a lotta people saved when i write

    killing myself slowly  dont know what is worse

    but yall know i bleed everytime i write

    real rap

    true facts

    being gangsta or polite

    never wanted 2 be a facebook legend

    sat back and watched too much bullshyt 

    learned some valuable lessons

    so in the end it dont matter

    how you come at me

    before the slaughter

    i know i left 4 my daughter 

    a proud legacy

    find a man with my character traits

    but not like me

    im tired of pannin

    and scannin  

    my periphery

    so satan fuck you nigga

    plan your attack

    while im battling myself 

    trapped

    in this battle wrap

    its all over

    its all over fade this shyt 2  black
