Kindness for Weakness

[00:00.94] Don't you take my kindness for weakness
[00:05.45] Don't you take my kindness for weakness
[00:10.85] Don't you take
[00:13.56] Dilated, yo, yo
[00:15.91] I might flip but usually a calm individual
[00:19.55] Armed with accountants, my lawyers and other criminals
[00:22.23] Network with armies, street wars are critical
[00:24.92] And revolutionaries so streets are more livable
[00:26.76] Fuck what your ego say
[00:29.45] Don't take shit for granted, homey, we don't play
[00:32.15] All's fair in love and war, piece of cake
[00:34.84] But beef is rare like a bloody piece of steak
[00:36.66] Don't you take your eyes off the quiet ones, the silent ones
[00:40.26] With the assassin smile, the most violent
[00:42.14] Train until their bleeding, crying, perspiring
[00:44.81] And gun rings firing
[00:46.65] Don't you take the wrong side, that's the wrong idea
[00:49.36] Untangle it, we could get it on right here
[00:52.97] Never back to broke, you get tapped or choked
[00:54.76] I might smile but I ain't no joke

[01:05.55] Don't you take
[01:10.06] Oh, yo look out, look out Rak'
[01:11.95] Love or fear, the fear last longer
[01:14.61] But love is stronger, so I stay loyal to love with honor
[01:18.24] You got those who wanna take that for weak
[01:20.05] Be prepared, they'll test you in front of your peeps
[01:22.75] Some easy advice, buy your way out my life
[01:25.45] It's the principle, the pockets fat not flat
[01:28.18] Some borrow dough and relax on payin' that back?
[01:30.85] C'mon cat
[01:31.75] Don't you take me for weak, give an inch they take feet
[01:35.36] Give 'em feet, they take the street
[01:38.09] My city's called 'Everybody Eats'
[01:39.92] The operations don't skip a beat
[01:41.70] Don't you take my squad as chumps, punks or fakes
[01:45.32] Quick to dump, pop trunks on snakes
[01:48.03] That's of course, push came to shove
[01:50.76] Otherwise love is love so

[02:18.74] You'll never fit up in my shoes so don't try 'em on
[02:21.44] I always tear it up, I'm 'bout as calm as a quiet storm
[02:23.22] Legendary lyricist, nice guy persona
[02:25.96] My songs celebrate life and you can play 'em for your momma
[02:28.67] But don't make the mistake of tryin' to play me
[02:30.44] Unless you a DJ, don't get it twisted I'm still from B.K.
[02:33.18] Wanna front? Better keep it in your mouth like Flavor Flav
[02:35.87] Where I'm from even a chick spit razor blades
[02:38.56] Don't you take me for a sucker or I'll take you back to school
[02:41.32] Fool can't play the wise but the wise can act a fool
[02:43.12] I stay cool and mild mannered and just put in my work
[02:45.85] Don't push you don't know what's up, under my shirt
[02:48.56] Don't you take me for soft, I got a heart that pump
[02:51.27] Like a twelve gauge shotty when it start to dump
[02:53.97] Youse a mystery 'cause you don't know who you runnin' towards
[02:56.64] And got history, that shit is told by those who won the war
