    OFF DA CHEST (word manifest)

    Damn man! DAMMIT!!
    This is no grandstand and for those who doubt my word I'm not here 4 you.
    Pride ain't worth spit if men sit back and watch ladies hurting man. I've seen enough women cry and ignored their pain. Can't let it go down on our Watch bro. This ain't no olive branch because it's not that deep and I'm not wrong about S--T!. But being right don't mean I'm being RIGHTEOUS. So check it out...if it's about unity I got to be a MAN OF MY WORD. Want to come at me WITH WORDS it's kool..ain't nobody gonna die from a difference of opinion. Not on this SET and not on our WATCH.


    Ain't no teachin
    if preachin
    cuts down the Knowledge Tree
    ain't no glory
    if Satan leads the Homily

    Ain't no right
    if the writing's too damn strong
    Ain't no destiny
    if Black men doing wrong

    Ain't no jealousy
    hate me I don't give a F--K
    ain't no story to tell
    if the Good Samaritan ignored
    that cat who got jacked up

    Ain't no Bible
    if the verse ain't manifest
    Ain't no hierarchy
    I never cared about who's the best

    Ain't covert bull S--T
    in which I took part
    Ain't no God in prophecy
    if the temple ain't in your heart

    Ain't no 2Pac and Biggie
    HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME
    Ain't
    READY TO DIE
    Ain't gonna be able to face my seed
    if I don't have an answer to why

    STRONG BLACK MEN
    CAN'T GET ALONG
    RAIN
    CAN'T HIDE TEARS
    OF PAIN
    IF WE SINGIN THE SAME OLD TIRED SONG


    Ain't no prophet
    'cuz prophets must die
    Ain't no man can judge
    what Allah justify

    Ain't no reason
    talent can't mix
    Ain't no contest
    to see who got the biggest D--CK

    Ain't no verse
    that I don't try 2 spit
    Ain't nobody can tell me
    kick SHAKES-PEARE
    when I feel like cussin and S--T

    Ain't no chains
    binding my wrists
    Ain't no Duppy Conqueror
    but demons I've learned to resist

    Ain't no one man
    but maybe 2SENUF
    Ain't no graceful spit
    I'm shootin straight from the cuff

    Ain't no way
    I thought I'd be doin this
    Ain't no day
    OUR Sister Jill's love we can resist

    Ain't no promises
    I'm gonna fake
    Ain't no love to conceive
    if Love is Love
    and love can't make

    STRONG BLACK MEN
    GET ALONG
    AIN'T NO RIGHTEOUS
    IF WRITE
    IS WRONG

    Ain't no man
    can block another's blessing
    Ain't no claim strong
    if Scripture is used for window dressing

    Ain't no DISS
    in the words I speak
    Ain't no DaVinci Code or hidden message
    if I respect the goal you seek

    Ain't no contest
    'cuz we all gonna eventually die
    Ain't no best
    if all D'ee stand for is lies

    Ain't never tried
    to be what I'm not
    Ain't never took sides
    when over petty drama my best friend got shot

    Ain't gonna try to convince
    anyone of my sincerity
    Ain't no time for pretending
    if animosity hides in the skin of black harmony

    Ain't no prize
    if unity is a chore
    Ain't gonna be called a phony MAA F--KAA
    and come back for more


    Ain't nobody
    can kill a spirit that's already died
    Ain't no defeating D'ee
    Satan already tried

    Ain't got no beef
    but respect my right to disagree
    Ain't no more talk of Brotherhood
    if we
    can't see
    the black man hangin from a tree

    SISTER'S JUST CHILL
    AND DRY YOUR EYES
    WE BROTHER'S GOT YOUR BACK
    WE WILL RESTORE THE PRIDE
    CUZ PETTY BEEF
    CAN'T BE A THIEF
    WHEN AIN'T NOBODY DIED

    SHEET, WE AIN'T RODNEY
    AND AIN'T NO KINGS
    WE ALL WANT THE SAME DAMN THING
    4 THIS SET
    2 COME CORRECT


    So..no drama from me
    by the way
    my name ain't D'ee

    it's DARWIN
    the father of evolution
    F--CK revolution
    ain't no standin still
    and for anyone wonderin
    how I can curse and use God's name
    in the same
    joint
    U MISSED THE POINT
    where my soul end up
    IS ON ME
    now, I MIGHT end up in Hell
    BUT
    you ain't NEVA gonna see
    Brother D'ee hangin from a tree
    my destiny
    is in God's Hand's ya heard
    so,
    what's the word?

    2gether we might stand a chance
    apart
    SHEET
    DON'T NOBODY ADVANCE


    I'm done
    ain't got nothin else 2 left to say...

    peace
