So Simple 02:42
DJ DX - So Simple Yo, you know the streets keep calling, and these feens keep snorting, Police on the beat so walk the streets with caution, Look at Mike Brown, he was gunned down in Missouri! And all around the world, you keep hearing the same story, Look at Walgreen's rest in peace, Santiago, Forget a model you know this song ain't a novel, I hit the lotto, off of Casio tracks, Spitting facts, Real rap, i guess i brought it all back, Boom bap and claps, i put my heart in my scratch, that's why I'm trying to change the world, before we all collapse, perhaps before i snap, relax and start thinking, We waste money all year on smoking and drinking, Look at the precincts, they teach us, schools and jails, but when a murder is committed who denies us bail ? 25 years away and all you see is a cell, and sat part world, you don't receive no mail - DJ DX [Verse Two] Straight from the mental I'm spitting these flows on instrumentals, credentials, no need to write, don't need no pencil, but if you, come at my squad then it's an issue, this life, has treated me trife, it's just so simple, Dear momma, look at my life, look what I've been through, sinful, drugs and crimes, it's so forgetful, My mind is deep into time, i gotta grind, i shine, haters still hate cuz i arrived, lies i put 'em in rhymes then i shall die, but NY stop smoking that Ly, you know u high, goodbye good riddance, my whole life was written, Rappers trying to spit facts but they lacking tradition, Hip-hop made me a known public figure, but white supremacists, still calling me nigger!!! First you get the money, then you earn respect, yeah I'm balling but i spit it like a season vet -

Cannabis for men so you know how I'm smelling! Bouncers wanna pat us down but we still bring the L in! DJ Madden [Verse Bridge] I murder the beat, man i murder the flow people screaming our name everywhere that we go, we got Jerz on lock for five years in a row, and even Johnny Depp know, man we about to blow, 400k sold man we next to gold, I'll bring terror to your squad, like pun and fat Joe, shout out to white wisdom, she across the globe, so sit back and relax it's the Yahway show!-

Don't Worry They don't know the life that i lived They don't know the life that i lived DJ DX [Verse One] Ever since i came out the fetus of my mother Edith I've been asking Jesus for grievance, with my heart and soul, I'm exposed and i know I'm suppose to do better, but when you grow up in the hood, and you don't have leverage, u don't ask questions, you just do what you do, rob and steal, then hit the block and hustle for real, I never killed but i will aim that steel if you ever try to take a meal from my family, that's word to daddy and nanny, Oh my God i miss y'all, I'm down here in the physical world trying to stay strong, hold on ill be there soon, this whole world is doomed, with followers and liars, we need more profits and scholars, I'm tired of this garbage, the pilot done ran out of mileage, I'm stuck on this island, but I'm still striving, I'm totally honest, i put that on my daughter Ra-Iyania, so who's lying? Not me so please stop crying! - DJ DX [Chorus] Don't worry, Don't worry to my kids, Don't worry it's gonna be alright Don't worry, Don't worry to my mother, Don't worry it's gonna be alright Don't worry, Don't worry to my fans, Don't worry it's gonna be alright Don't worry, Don't worry to God Don't worry it's gonna be alright They don't know the life that i lived They don't know the life that i lived DJ DX [Verse Two] Life is not a game so don't play it like Wii in the streets my friends lost they life because of beef, and jealousy, they envy in my city without a cause, maybe I'm the next big, pun, or shakur or maybe I'm wrong? let's go I'm ready to rock n roll, my goal is to counter blow and hit them with this magic flow, i can't stop cuz i been through it all, when i was homeless the government wouldn't give me support, i was taught to talk when you have to, this is my battle, lyric for lyric, God in spirit, no subliminal disses, but listen this is a message not a text about sex, my life is more important, then an abortion, come on you played yourself, how many kids you done killed? Ma you need some help, 7 times in 10 years, that's a known fact, and one thing i know is that God won't forget about that - DJ DX [Chorus] Don't worry, Don't worry to my kids, Don't worry it's gonna be alright Don't worry, Don't worry to my mother, Don't worry it's gonna be alright Don't worry, Don't worry to my fans, Don't worry it's gonna be alright Don't worry, Don't worry to God Don't worry it's gonna be alright They don't know the life that i lived They don't know the life that i lived They don't know, They don't know, They don't know They don't know about me, They don't know .......

They make me wanna holler the way they do my life, Yeah They make me wanna holler the way they do my life, This ain't living, This ain't living, Nah nah baby, this ain't living, no no no no, This ain't about race so forget the competition, we live in a world with corrupted politicians, look at the way we living, we all playing the victim, its time to unite, lets go against the system, cuz killing one another wont help us raise our children, if morals brought money, then we all would have millions, we are all civilians just living in the ghetto, Its either sell drugs, grip the chrome, bust the metal, it took Freddie to die for yall to do something, when Treyvon died man yall ain't do nothing, Eye for an eye, so lets kill that man, If you don't have an idea then its George Zimmerman, and fuck the white house, Obama's the middleman, he never brought change all he did was bring pain, Hilary up next, this shit is just a game, but all this anger made the people go insane! - They make me wanna holler the way they do my life, Yeah They make me wanna holler the way they do my life, This ain't living, This ain't living, Nah nah baby, this ain't living, no no no no, DJ DX (Verse Three) Ugh, Heart of a lion, the eye of a panther, why is blacks in the streets, dying quicker then cancer?! This black on black crime is not the answer, They killed Mike Brown, he even had his hands up! They choked Eric Garner, he was cuffed in hand cuffs, They popped Jordan Davis he was parked in a red truck, They killed Rekia Boyd where there were no cameras, They shot Oscar Grant, so its time to stand up, No!!! Listen, forget the food and stamps, all we want is justice and freedom on the land, so fuck the police and the Klu Klux Klan, The gangs came together just for the black man, Dam, you see we suffering in poverty, all you do is lie and fuck up, the economy, but where is the equality for all nationalities? But you call us thugs for looting and rioting! -

Shining Stars DJ DX [Verse One] Dear dad i hope you glad, from heaven i see you smiling, look at your first born, he got away from doing violence now i use my talent, some days is just a challenge, but i remain the same in someways, i move in silence, I'm honest, I'm Robert I'm real I'm not a fraud, I'm in the studio all night long, making song after song, i put this rap shit on my mom, i swear to God I'm a get on, to perform and rock big crowds all night long, am i wrong or am i right? Show a sign from the sky, my eyes done seen it all, I've done been through every storm, I went from Belmont to Cator sleeping on concrete floors, but I'm stronger and clever then ever, i can now rap better, throw me any kind of letter, ill turn it into a hit, like a dope feen on the corner trying catch a fix, one way or another, I'm on the road to getting rich, and I'm done with selling clips and bricks, I'm here to win - DJ DX [Verse Two] Momma let me tell you how much i love you, remember the past, when we slept on the floor and didn't have no cash, pops was locked up, i didn't have no dad, but I'm grateful even tho times was bad, i commend you for staying strong, you been through storms, you got off of drugs and left the streets alone, a single parent trying to raise 3 boys, in one home, no phone no cable just a black and white TV, Keith left for Queens, then i move in with nanny, uncle Gary held us down, that's what you call family, but understand me through your trials and all your ups and downs, God felt your pain and took away your cries, that's why i strive in this world that we live in, it's either jail or prison or locked behind a solid wall, i can't give up now, I've done, came to far, i was raised a foul way, but y'all are my shining stars - DJ DX [Verse Three] When you died i didn't know what to do, i was lost in the zoo, walking the streets of New Jeruz, all alone, writing poems in my dome, i didn't even have a home, or a plate or a pillow, i was crushed like ground zero, but I'm suppose to be a hero to my entire generation, this might sound sacred, but this whole world is wasted, through wars and manipulations, politics is just designed to try to manipulate us, I'm dangerous cuz I'm the latest rapper to keep it real, and my heart is so concealed, but on the real this is the way i feel, I grew up playing with crack, all i knew was moving packs, the streets made me a felon, i can vouch for that, but perhaps i didn't have much coming up, my pops was in a cell, and mother snorting coke, we was dead broke we had bills to pay so i started pushing rock off of MLK! -
