Making all rights,

Original Poetry

Translation

Making all rights,

Fixing everything,

That's the state of now mind,

That's my current mindset,

Out in the bars,

Hanging out in bars,

Bro shouldn't be a crime,

My friend, that shouldn't be against the law,

Got my rhyme,

I have my rhythm,

Affrim all sign,

I confirm everything,

Suits and tie,

Wearing suits and ties,

That's a look of prime,

That's a top-notch look,

Damn or dime,

Whether it's a curse or a blessing,

I can give out both,

I can handle both,

Rappin right,

Rapping correctly,

My eulogy of hope,

This is my hopeful message,

Crossed the roads,

Crossed many paths,

Take none as joke,

I don't take anything lightly,

Strong mind and soul,

Strong in mind and spirit,

Weak bod didn't stop,

A weak body didn't stop me,

I did work hard to see,

I worked hard to understand,

How much more I cope,

How much more I can endure,

High on life,

Feeling alive,

That's my favorite dope,

That's my favorite high,

After actin all signs,

After showing all signs,

This my golden time...

This is my best time...
