When I Rap Songtext
von 4‐ize

When I ride
It′s Foe Eyes, I carry the weight of the world on my back
What you do it for?
When I ride
It's Alterbeast in the streets with no platinum plaque
What you do it for?
When I ride
I work hard not to mislead people off of the track
So you don′t wanna mislead the kids
The children are the future, that is

Tell me, can a rapper be a role model?

Cause who you leading just as important as who you follow
You can't rescue who don't wanna be saved
If they wanna be slaves then we going into the days of tribulation

But see, I can bring ′em out of it
God said what man builds I will demolish it


With acknowledgement, we here to restore the balance
Rather go to the league, yeah that′s my only talent
I knew about the hustle but I had another mission
I respect that ambition but you got to have vision
Pimpin', I been a champion for hip hop

Never been locked or sold drugs to get shot
Cause it′s not the life I chose, it chose me
Now I'm back in the game just like Derrick Rose knee
See, my heart and soul put it on display
When it ain′t no music with nothing positive to say
What you do it for?

When I ride
It's Foe Eyes, I carry the weight of the world on my back
What you do it for?
When I ride
It′s Alterbeast in the streets with no platinum plaque
What you do it for?
When I ride
I work hard not to mislead people off of the track
So you don't wanna mislead the kids
The children are the future, that is

I fight for freedom wherever there's trouble


Half past dead or laying beneath the rubble
I gotta step up when my team′s on the bubble
In the sweet 16 I post a triple double

So in the final four I can fight a dinosaur
And my clique got my back like my spinal cord
Cause that′s how it's going down, it stays down
God body cause heaven is my playground
Yeah the children they look just like they father
My feet are the color of bronze but they much darker
Than bird breath, I got hair like wool
It′s tug of war with a tow truck, I got pull
And I believe the children are the future
Teach them well and let them lead the way

Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Foe Eyes, I let it ride
What you do it for?

When I ride
It's Foe Eyes, I carry the weight of the world on my back
What you do it for?
When I ride
It′s Alterbeast in the streets with no platinum plaque
What you do it for?
When I ride
I work hard not to mislead people off of the track
So you don't wanna mislead the kids
The children are the future, that is
