Ever Notice

Ever notice all the little changes happening in front of your eyes
The sun on earth's imbalance with the sun above in the sky
New York summers feel like winter till the end of July
Notice how hard it is for black man to drive
Patriot acts made it easy for the man to attack
On the flip side its harder for a nigga to fly, that was already hard
Ain't even safe for sitting inside of the crib
It's easier dying whimpering crying but we trying to live
Ever notice the simplicity in getting a bid
Notice that parents now or days are just as young as the kids
Notice being blacks enough to get a gun to your ribs
We get funny with money cause we got nothing to give
Question, what does cash have in common with credit
Answer niggas have neither and we trying to get it
Cause anytime we get a little we be trying to spend it
Whoever knew pockets had cavities go find me a dentist

Said I been a few places seen a few things
And the one thing I noticed is some things never changed
Whether you're rich or poor if you're black they don't like you
But I've also noticed that everything goes in a cycle

Fuck It, ever notice how you can't say cracker on air
But as long as you saying nigga crackers really don't care
Use a caucasian racial slur and bet they won't wanna hear it
Cause niggas the only slur considered a term of endearment
Ever notice other mother fuckers say it around us
Watch em, tryna be down tryna make themselves sound tough
Notice we trend set and everybody wan be down
Crackers been stealing for 400 hundred years but even more that we're free now
Ever noticed that we're still poor
That's why when niggas kill niggas nobody care if we kill more
Ever notice most the songs that make billboard, are WACK
So when I listen I'm real bored for real y'all
Notice necessities have changed from food, clothing and shelter
To fast food, name brand clothes, cars and celluars
We only text and email but I miss the detail
Of a written letter sealed with a kiss from your female

Said I been a few places seen a few things
And the one thing I noticed is some things never changed
Whether you're rich or poor if you're black they don't like you
But I've also noticed that everything goes in a cycle

Have you ever gone out of town, took a walk around
Another hood and notice hope in the lost in found
Never have try it once walk a three block radius
I guarantee you're gonna see the same ole crazy shit
One block two liquor stores three corner stores
A Chinese restaurant a barber shop and a hair salon
Cracks in the sidewalk, crack vials in between the cracks in the sidewalk
Black child's, three or four
One parent 9 times out of 10 a mommy
Black clouds in the sky shouts from the mommy
Three numbers short of striking rich from the lottery
Drunk niggas prostitutes caking off pornography
Amongst all of that another thing that really bothers me's
The fact that one's likely to run into some sort of pharmacy
CVS, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, Walgreen's
All equals genocide the poor people's enemy
Ever notice marijuana's still illegal
But cigarettes the real smoke stick killing people
Notice the way the government's watching what we do
So when I vote it's only for the less of two evils
Notice how every bodies flowing for props
Got little ole innocent me wanting to load up the glock
And cock back and squeeze on these wanna be emcees
Who swear that they hot, but they not because I notice you're not
And I notice a lot
