A pure plane take off

Chicago inna Chad
Magic Kingdom inna Egypt
Philadelphia like Sudan
The Congo like Colorado
Fort Knox inna Gabon
People living in Morocco like the state of Oregon
Algeria warmer than Arizona bring your sun lotion
Early morning class of Yoga on the beach in Senegal

:wow::ohlawd:
Only talking with winners
A loser or two
Got my number
Still they think they real
But they just really awfully bitter
Salty nikkaz Hate the smarter ones
These are the doubters
Who's our 'bout my run
I barely made it out the slums
My value high Cause I do more than
Rap about a gun
I made money for nikkaz
Ya'll never looking out for none
I helped millionaires get to that very position
Some real millionaires see that's ill
Cause look at statistics
Real millionaires
And I ain't talking ghetto riches
Thorough business
You mistreating nikkaz
Heard your folks bleed in prison
You ain't a G
And if you was
I don't recall
Who would roll with ya'll
Bunch a fukking know it alls
Who's dough is small
Look what's it come to
Our rapport's good no more
We was good before
Till I saw what type a dude you took me for
We had a chance to take paper down
What I took was more
Because of hatred
Opportunity wasted
:mjcry:how beautiful and real is this!!!

My fav track on the album

I dont know what the issue was with the tour, they were supposed to go to several African countries and perform summer of 2013 and for whatever reason it never happened. I dont know if that was on the artists/label or the promoters but they dropped the ball with that.

If the album was promoted more heavily and got that real push it would have been huge and people would have appreciated it even more, even so think it got to top 5.
