Guilty By Association
Jas Mace
I mean theyāre going to see you how they see you Aināt no convincing someone thatās already got their mind made up
Yeah, I put my thoughts on some paper then read it in rhyme And hope the people get it when they listen in time It might fly by and go over your head Shooting stars with a cannon man I was living in the land of paparazzi They got me, shot me like a nazi Put me on the front page mugshots all sloppy Told the cops itās not me, but he aināt listening Everybody up in prison all say theyāre innocent Identityās mistaken all rappers aināt the same Feeling on my chest guess heās looking for a gold chain Opened up my mouth, no gold grills Only cavities and bad breathe shit you know itās real Searching my pockets for dimes and ounces But I donāt even smoke like that I write raps Perhaps, if he put aside all his biases And listened to a 49ersā album he would realize Weāre not all the same foul mouth uneducated rappers that you probably know about Thanks to MTV, or BET Or any other acronym that claims they represent me Thatās when he said the gig is up, pulled my shirt up And saw that I was tatted up, man what the fidduck! I guess I fit the profile guilty by association Locked away behind his prejudice 25 to life is what Iām facing
Man, I guess thereās just no convincing them man They got their mind made up Itās a shame man, but whatever
Iām thoroughbred Hip-Hop But donāt put me in a box Just let that bullshit stop Iām thoroughbred Hip-Hop But donāt put me in a box I do this here non-stop And Iām different so donāt compare me to another Iām different so donāt compare me to another Iām different so donāt compare me to another Iām different so donāt compare me to another
