Everybody want the fruits, but nobody wanna work
Everybody want the truth, but nobody wanna search
Everybody wants the love, but nobody want the hurt
Everybody want the better without going through the worse
[Verse 1: Tha God Fahim]
They only seen the shine, no one ever sees the darkness
Not knowing how much time that you put into the hardship
Observers thinking easy, not knowing the weight you carry
And how hands can get greasy, it's a dirty game we marry
Reflect on all my imperfections, sharpen up my strengths
I won't let it waste away, got confidence in my gift
I put my thoughts to work, and I'm constantly at a shift
While they fall behind in my rearview watching 'em drift
[Bridge 2: Tha God Fahim]
While they fall behind in my rearview watching 'em drift
While they fall behind in my rearview watching 'em drift
[Chorus: Tha God Fahim]
Everybody want the fruits, but nobody wanna work
Everybody want the truth, but nobody wanna search
Everybody want the love, but nobody want the hurt
Everybody want the better, without going through the worse
Everybody want the better, without going through the worse
Everybody want the better, without going through the worse
[Verse 2: Tha God Fahim]
If you don't work hard, then how you gonna gain dough
Stay dressed in fly spreads, fresh like I'm Sun-Lo
I step up in the booth and I run show
And burn mics to ash off one go
The sunglow, I'm built for this, surviving wicked times in this wilderness
Amongst the filthiest, with much that surrounds is filthiness
Came out the dirt clean, write to exert steam
Failures the worst thing, it hurts like the worst sting
A very high energy effort by Spit Gemz, one of my favorite lyricists. From the concepts to his voice & delivery, an all around solid album from one of Hip-Hop's most respected emcee's. DUS
Tone Liv brings his A+ game and this project flows seamlessly throughout. "Snatch the Crumbs" (the follow-up to 2011's "Take the Cake") was also a dope surprise. DUS
