48 Laws Lyrics - Donnie Trumpet

I'm off the clock, permanently calling shots like Dick Vitale 

Shake up the world for sure, no Richter Scale 

Blindfold the truth from youth, I lift the veil 

Please don't fuck with me 

Living the dream, secretly I'm seeing the things you see on the screen 

Recently I fiend for weed, I need it to dream 

Niggas ain't paid their dues - I need receipts 

Please don't fuck with me 

I been through weathering storms, torrential rain 

My penmanship just pencils instant pain 

Came from 9-to-5's, afraid to fly 

Till I earn my wings and now they wave goodbye 

Took me thirty years just to get it started 

Long as the tombstone says artist 

Dreamville the '96 Bulls 

Taking all y'all power breaking 48 Laws 

How 'bout it? 

I played my cards and changed the odds my nigga 

How 'bout it? 

I made it through hell while blocked from heaven my nigga 

How 'bout it? 

I played my cards and changed the odds my nigga 

How 'bout it? How 'bout it? 

Hot rod, ride by, slow down the block 

Shots fired, drive-by - Lord will it stop? 

Cowards on the news think that cowardice is gritty 

Bullets whizzing by me every time I'm in the city 

Kill me, rob me, take my gems and jewels 

And paint my schools with Jesus Christ as white 

Then lock my father up for life 

Institutionalize my rights, then hide my plight from sight 

That's trickery, steal our swag, that's mimicry 

I am original man, empirically 

Chi City heart, I'm just being honest 

Born poet, nigga fuck a song here's a sonnet 

How 'bout it? 

I played my cards and changed the odds my nigga 

How 'bout it? 

I made it through hell while blocked from heaven my nigga 

How 'bout it? 

I played my cards and changed the odds my nigga 

How 'bout it? How 'bout it?
