Fortify by The Social Contract Lyrics
[Intro]
(moaning)
Love love, love love love
Drugs drugs, drugs drugs drugs
Where you from?
What's your name?
How you livin'?
Same
Free your mind
Whats inside
Fortify
[Verse 1 - Miko X]
In the eye of the storm
Anything outside of the norm
You'll probably find inside my mind for real
Honest I'm just tryin' to find a deal woah
Mad years and we still broke
And my pops on the road feels like months at a time
Just to pay for the bills I could see it on his face man it kills
Had me and eight other children
He was once in his prime
Now he stays a civilian
To tell the truth I just wanna go home
But I can't vacate if I'm building
So I just stay safe out in Wilmington
Surrounded by hate and the villains
And these n----s ain't got no souls
But I see that they makin' a million
So I just lay, gaze at the ceiling
Play Kate on the straight way to the healing
If you see a tear come from my eye
Let it fall through the sky
Hit the dirt let it soak
In the Earth, for what it's worth
I gotta little knowledge that I'd like to spread
Not tryna bite off your ear like Mike Tyson did
I just hope they remember the light I shed
I just hope they remember the life I led
Gotta get it on my own I don't like to beg
When they come into my home I don't like the feds
I'm never alone I end up in all types of beds
With a bad one beside me and unlike Ozzy when she handle that bat she gon' bite the head
My lifes a mess I might confess
Lifes a bitch she wearin' an enticing dress
And I gotta hit
(Where you from?)
What your problem is
(What's your name?)
Won't acknowledge it
(How you livin'?)
Talk all kinds of shit
(Same)
Save your politics
(Free your mind)
Make no kind of sense
(Whats inside)
Make no kind of sense
(Fortify)
Make no- yeah yeah
Where you been?
Hows the Fam
Chillin' man
It's cool with me
Lets shoot debris
Stop the foolery
{Verse 2 - Miko X]
Stop the foolery
Before you get got for your jewelry
'Bout two or three n----s not including me
Cause I sit back and let the man queue the beats
It's my duty to execute beautifully
Said I got this shit locked you can't move the key
N----s mad cause they shortys be cool with me
They be like who is he who is he, uh
I dont even use a name they go with Miko it's like two in the same I'm like, uh
Two or three years of doin' we're like one contract, don't nobody be doin' it like us
Us, us, shonuff
This shit is no bluff
This shit is so tough
I just said lifes a bitch
That bitch she hit toe touch like
[Chorus]
Where you from?
What's your name?
How you livin'?
Same
Free your mind
Whats inside
Fortify
Where you been?
Hows the Fam
Chillin' man
It's cool with me
Lets shoot debris
Stop the foolery
[Verse 3 - Miko X, Rob: Earth-One, (Malcom Chester), *Aliyah Loca*]
Another day another dollar my n----
We on a roll you know I'm wildin'
I'm findin' I got the gold them n----- silent
Don't start the motor went from no controller to a pilot
Another day another dollar my n----
Major key and strength and guidance my n----
Debate about changing my policy n----
There ain't nothing that you could offer me n----
(Another day another dollar my n----
The price of being world scholar my n----
Re-lessons a blessing my n----s I'm testin'
Don't answer they questions don't talk 'bout your n----s like)
*Another day another dollar
Every n---- wanna holla
But I don't know if it's a problem
But you know that we can solve it
Can't believe you think we bothered now
Another day another headache
Wake up early hit the bed late
Leave them n----s at the feds late
Gotta push 'em to the side*
(Another day another headache my n----
My subconscious had a (?) my n----
The pictures I'm drawin' are clearer my n----
Like spreading my fingers I'm seein' it bigger)
Another day another headache my n----
Time is money should invest it my n----
They be payin' in the credit my n----
I had to say it was pathetic my n----
Another day another headache
My shorty she never let me leave the crib without medicine
Deep in her ribs on the bed again
I'm addicted to whatever she pedalin'
[Chorus]
Where you from?
What's your name?
How you livin'?
Same
Free your mind
Whats inside
Fortify
Where you been?
Hows the Fam
Chillin' man
It's cool with me
Lets shoot debris
Stop the foolery
Stop the foolery, stop the foolery, stop the foolery
(moaning)
Love love, love love love
Drugs drugs, drugs drugs drugs
Where you from?
What's your name?
How you livin'?
Same
Free your mind
