All I Want Is Mine

(Intro: Inspectah Deck)
 It's not Jacob, but you can still call me the jeweler
 You know how I throw that jewelry on you
 And this one right here, this is just a tennis bracelet
 You rock that with your white Nikes, and your white tee
 Sunny Dave' style, ya'll feel me? Come on
 (Inspectah Deck)
 I dreamed I was top of the world, watching the world
 Awoke to a room full of smoke, gun at my throat
 I dwell in the heart of the hell, but never fell
 Po'nine scopin' me the whole time, they close behind
 My wants just as big as my needs, so it's agreed
 To strap up, tie these shoes, provide the school
 A wild out, had to hide out, in China's house
 Then run free, down to 1G, and hungry
 I won't fold, from the chokehold, I broke molds
 Fake ones, fake as they come, waiting to front
 I fight if it cost me my life, toss me the knife
 To move up, I do what I must, but who to trust
 I came from the grain and remain mentally stained
 The hardships, starving artist, it's obvious
 I'm 'raging against the machine' to make some CREAM
 That's how we live, just grab your kids, now we big
 All up in The Source, we flip and win the toss
 The law say, lock 'em away, vow to this day
 The world is ours, we the loud ones at early hours
 Striving, for a new way, my dues are payed
 (Chorus 2X: Inspectah Deck)
 All I want is mine.
 All I want is mine.
 All I want is mine.
 All I want is mine.
 (Interlude w/ Chorus: Inspectah Deck)
 Yeah. I mean, yo, we grinding out here
 We got our lives on the line
 We got oddballs watching us
 We got fucking thieves, crooks, murderers
 Gangstas, we got all types of shit we gotta watch out for
 Let alone, your right hand man'll send shots to wet you, son
 Shit.
 (Inspectah Deck)
 My conscience beggin' me chills, steady we build
 I ask, is it back to the cracks after the raps
 Where I'm from, used to be fun, soon'll become
 A deathtrap, mental setback, forget that
 I'mma do this, for that all I am, call out a man
 Black like Sidney Portier, boy, beware
 The future's now, my superpowers could move the crowd
 The road I follow, so far to go to see tomorrow
 I'm close to the edge, my folks are mislead
 Some, lose a step, lyric clueless, they choosin' death
 That's the wrong vibe, the strong survive, known as they strive
 Now watch me, top of the key, dropping a three
 In my fate, the biography state, I would be great
 For now, I milk the cow, build it from the ground
 More or less, continue conquest hard as it gets
 The promised land, ain't promised to a honest man
 So, right or wrong, I'm fighting on this life long
 Now let me live, set for my wiz and seven kids
 I hit the block focus like Mr. Spock
 And whether, rhymes or crimes, all I want is mines
 (Chorus 2X)
 (Outro: Inspectah Deck)
 All I want is mines, what they expect us to do?
 They taking programs to a channel, man
 You gotta pay to be locked up, you ain't getting no jobs
 Niggaz got three/four kids, four or five baby moms
 No crib, living out they cars and shit
 I got to get mines... then ain't no stopping
 I'mma do what I gotta do, and I'mma rep for my set
 My nigga Case rest in peace, my nigga, I'mma see you
 The'll never take me alive, the'll never take me alive.
