| Yeah yeah
|
| Aha, yo
|
| What if I was painting the picture of what my life was like
|
| It would require more than black and white
|
| Green as the traffic light
|
| That symbolizes the way that my pops would always go
|
| Without leaving a little dough for the rapid growth of my appetite
|
| Please hand me the blue, I gotta finish mama face
|
| By the way, for the skyline, I need a little grey
|
| Not a day goes by, that I don’t think about my brother as he lay
|
| In that white suit beside in that packed church
|
| While different shades of brown just follow their black hearse
|
| I wanna react worse, but God had another plan
|
| First marriage, then childbirth, that white dress and pink bassinet
|
| Took gallons of paint and I ain’t finished yet
|
| Then my son came and took every color that I get
|
| 'Cause the boy’s portrait of dad has a permanent effect
|
| Don’t touch it, please, that picture still wet, look at that
|
| I put my faith in my grind and leave the hatred behind, give me a sign, please
|
| No longer wastin' my time, the way the world is designed, I gotta find peace
|
| When pain and suffering combine, you can’t just stop and rewind,
|
| you on a live feed
|
| You just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, listen and follow my lead
|
| Soon as he, turn on the breaking news
|
| A 3-year-old just got murdered in his home by some reckless dude
|
| Probably was drinking booze
|
| Now a baby is buried and he’s in a cage
|
| How much do we stand to lose
|
| Facin' these obstacles,
|
| The whole world’s spiritually sick, we need a hospital
|
| We in the final days, watchin' in complete amaze, as the world go up in smoke,
|
| but we set the blaze
|
| But yall in killing phase, this pure genocide, as we fightin' to survive just
|
| to stay alive
|
| That’s a whole 'nother battle itself
|
| Just maintaining your health is the greatest of wealth
|
| Gotta double check on your food, that you pour from the shelf
|
| If we let them, they gon' feed us to death, ah
|
| We in a war to preserve what’s left
|
| As I maintain my balance and strength so I pray
|
| I put my faith in my grind and leave the hatred behind, give me a sign, please
|
| No longer wastin' my time, the way the world is designed, I gotta find peace
|
| When pain and suffering combine, you can’t just stop and rewind,
|
| you on a live feed
|
| You just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, listen and follow my lead
|
| We want fame, money, jewels
|
| Picture more cars, bitches, food
|
| We want more drugs, pills, liquor
|
| Make us more sicker and the hoes more thicker
|
| We got no love, no chill, no honor
|
| We got no rules, no mama, no fathers
|
| So no code, no ethics, no Guidance
|
| No remorse, so the consequences more violent
|
| Vocal cords crushed, no requesting your silence
|
| Blow the horns
|
| This is just another funeral
|
| Just another day and this is nothing that’s unusual
|
| Oh Lord, we so desensitized
|
| You see whats televised
|
| Begging for some better times
|
| Government be telling lies
|
| They kind of
|
| Kind of like they penny-wise
|
| Please God, send a sign
|
| Or take me from the self inflicted Hell we live in, oh Lord
|
| I put my faith in my grind and leave the hatred behind, give me a sign, please
|
| No longer wastin' my time, the way the world is designed, I gotta find peace
|
| When pain and suffering combine, you can’t just stop and rewind,
|
| you on a live feed
|
| You just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, listen and follow my lead |
