Barber Shop Talk
[KJ-52]
And now I’m going to the barber shop rolling through the parking lot / tying to find a parking spot hopping out / I park and walk / hoody on my head got me looking kind of hard to spot / when I’m walking down the block the lady wanna call the cops / rolling past these dudes all they do is push the rock / the packs they move got them twisted like the hardest knot / but for the moment I need a trim right up off the top / edge up on the back and a fade on the sides I got / I’m rolling past these cats they wanna call the shots / I know they keep a little something tucked up in they sock / I’m working at the church right up at the farthest block / seen the worst of the worst but really I ain't gonna stop / the thought occurs to me need a cut start to walk / seen this dude I say what up / then man I sort of nod / he's acting kind of rude but really I just blew it off / got no time for attitude I'm finally all up in the spot /
[Hook]
I said what up (nothing) / now how you living cousin / ayo what's good up in the spot why don’t you tell something / (he said) steady cutting / just while they steady fronting / another day another dollar while I'm steady hustling /

See I'm popping in walking in sitting down / just another average hood spot bad side of town / I’m only whiteboy in the spot so I don’t make a sound / one guy on the Xbox the other dude is talking loud / he makes a move and then he starts to clown / the other dude takes it to the hoop and then he breaks him down / I’m staring at these dudes waiting for it to settle down / looking at these grooves up in the roof these people hang around then ... /

Tell your moms we drop bombs on these prima donnas / ain't no rock stars don’t wanna hear you scream and holler / Hip-Hop scholars me and K gone bring it proper / you wack cats popping collars steady chasing dollars / don’t even bother spitting one line we not impressed / ain't nothing fresh just another carcass speaking death / no life inside your rhymes you're reciting eulogies / call me the coroner embalming emcees fluidly /

I’m from a place where the preachers rarely walk the street / everybody knows who did the robbery but never speak / the police / stay serving and protecting their benefactors while we're blessing God for being our protection / you can find Christ where the lepers and the lames at / homeless shooting dice / sipping on a bottle of warm yak / I tell them heaven’s your home black you should know that / then spit a dope rap then I’m out with a cold dap / I’m bearing my cross while yours is for the shine / mine comes with a crown of thorns and pierced open side / check the Scriptures kid the science is divine / I believe evolution is God’s intelligent design / so I create and spit fire like a circus act / you clowns got record deals and don’t get close to that / while I rip Scriptures for forgiveness in the barber shop / where it’s five for the shape up and twenty to touch the top /

I’m a Hip-Hop biographer / battling the Apocrypha / follow the Woodworker In Boston that’s the Carpenter / I was bred and read up on Biggie and Tupac and them / studied the greats / met up with grace and produced this document / race used to bother me social issues and lobbying / but now I’m dead to my opinion on the Rock like Sean Connery / in a sick economy vivid with pornography / I pivot like Paul and offer up Jesus risen bodily / we the children of pottery created with knowledge / you could never go to college and retrieve cause it’s godly / used to smoke Ports man like Natalie / course then God got at me / awesome He honored me and pardoned me / now I’m a real new creature to feature / no respect needed you can give that to Aretha / I gave up my rights so I could live life for Jesus / my Savior / the righteous King so just believe y'all /
