Now the only reason I hustle is for you to avoid a struggle
So you don't have to walk these addict streets in drug puddles
Waters that we survive by but exchange knuckles
Where niggas go to floss jealousy in between a couple
Cats that I recycled conversations with they forget the
Knowledge that could replace of which the choices
Niggas chose in life I tried to change them cents and guide
You with advance but cats look at you strange with suspicion cause
Of the fast life now in fact I was trying to play the good samaritan
But I rather be this nigga where'd you never hear from still able
To see the differences in your atmosphere and why you proceed
From my proceed but to much proceed lead niggas to greed
So I gotta take away the seed and the pro where its planted
In the hood where they grow lego lets try to build similar
I pledge allegiance to the kids who survive through struggle temperatures
Ministers who
I pledge allegiance to yall
To the ghettos in us
To my ones in Va
And to those in cuffs
I pledge allegiance to yall
To the buildings we live
To the mothers who struggle
Beside a fatherless kid I said I pledge allegiance
To the orphans in the ghetto
And then I pledge allegiance to the hopeless in the ghetto
And then I pledge allegiance to the voiceless in the ghetto
To the cats who sold drugs through the girls that won't love
And most importantly the lessons taught by a thug
I'm familiar with the lowest levels of your comfortability
And the shit that put you through humility
Ten a see not Memphis but the trend I see the
The tendencies by the structures that you live in
Becoming prisons by me driving by in multiple choices
Of Benz's that shit make me cringe you know I'm not
Any different than the niggas who live in the projects and I honestly
I know I ain't got no business driving by but my intensions
Is to understand some of you show you good love
Or two arm over a sister do what a brother do
Right over my left grandma I still f*ck with you
Allegiance to the teacher the professor and the substitute
Mothers who
I pledge allegiance to y'all
To the ghettos in us
To my ones in Va
And to those in cuffs
I pledge allegiance to y'all
To the buildings we live
To the mothers who struggle
Beside a fatherless kid I said I pledge allegiance
To the orphans in the ghetto
And then I pledge allegiance to the hopeless in the ghetto
And then I pledge allegiance to the voiceless in the ghetto
To the cats who sold drugs through the girls that won't love
And most importantly the lessons taught by a thug
For every fatherless nigga becomes a fatherless killa
Mostly what I am exposed to if the cuffs don't fit us
It means perish I've attended more funerals than weddings
Proposal to the street my vow is in the obsessions
The company that I keep is my protection
Which means I'm no better than nigga's getting arrested
In a fatherless section I'm your prime example
So be that you murder my killer I understand you
Allegiance to the ones who ain't here we light a candle
In hopes that they souls light up avenues and soon I would
Travel PA to VA my ones kept me hip so I travel
With a clip on my hip in case the scene don't fit I don't
Insist but if you behind bars that restrict these here will set you free
Allegiance to the time you serve allegiance to the key
And pledge to tomorrow if woke in harmony we
I pledge allegiance to y'all
To the ghettos in us
To my ones in Va
And to those in cuffs
I pledge allegiance to y'all
To the buildings we live
To the mothers who struggle
Beside a fatherless kid I said I pledge allegiance
To the orphans in the ghetto
And then I pledge allegiance to the hopeless in the ghetto
And then I pledge allegiance to the voiceless in the ghetto
To the cats who sold drugs through the girls that won't love
And most importantly the lessons taught by a thug
