it’s been a minute since Radio Free was finished / made a fella start to worry his fan base diminished / got a few heads in it a few djs to spin it but it all had a limit (it was all my bread) / that’s cool, ‘cause it was all my head that it came out of and I doubt another m.c. does it quite like this / didn’t move no weight to make the money to manufacture just counted on some pure words to capture the hearts and minds / plus I started to find that I only started to shine when I gave up trying / made up rhymes since way back when I was in ninth grade with no friends and no ends and I stayed to myself with some family shit to deal with / which is probably why so many damaged kids feel this / I believe people crave what’s real and I believe being real is why I never had a record deal
I know that you got plenty of food / but I’ll make do with the table scraps / you don’t even see what you got for free Is a meal for me / table scraps
we’re out here battling to make it take it to the next step / navigating everything from hate to death threats / can’t rest yet so I guess my best bet is to proceed with reckless abandon as my guide / standing on the side watching my friends fight / trying to make it through the night without losing sight / nothing feels quite right but not enough is wrong for me to stop the song so once again it’s on / we’ve got to hold tight through cold nights and dark days / some pray to God while other’s drink and spark js / the heart plays tricks / the mind goes blank / while I give thanks for the table scraps
I know that you got plenty of food / but I’ll make do with the table scraps / you don’t even see what you got for free Is a meal for me / table scraps
