| Kno’I’mean, the sound of the dope heatin' on that spoon
|
| Hmmm, you feel that right, I know you feel that right

| Holy Rollers
|
| How I fell in hell in the cell wit the world on my shoulders
|
| Holy Rollers
|
| Tryna twist them L’s see the spell different cast on my soldiers
|
| This for my broke brothers that’s leakin'
|
| The have-nots and the heathens
|
| Who work hard and hustle just to spend it all on the weekend
|
| We — live without reason
|
| Numb our brain with liquor and cheeba
|
| Get tore down, hollerin' for God to help us
|
| Everything we take is truth, a misguided message
|
| The hood, better grimey, jealous, aggressive and desperate
|
| And we exit in enormous numbers
|
| Stressed out and restless
|
| City infested, Avenues infected
|
| And the struggle to success?
|
| Only accumulate the herb and depression
|
| Now how in the hell we supposed to get it together?
|
| We go from no diplomas to obituaries
|
| Seminaries and cemeteries, all we know is stress and worry
|
| Nosy neighbors, hoodlums and haters
|
| We reach for the sky
|
| Steady wonder why ain’t no angels comin' out of heaven to help us out
|
| We know the situation full of doubt, so look at us now

| Yo, I’m like, what?
|
| God ain’t got no love for the kid
|
| Home from a bid, livin' on skid, clutchin' a rib
|
| Little scruff, barely enough to puff production at crib
|
| Small hands of a crack baby touchin' his bib
|
| From a heartless dark place where the evil is hid
|
| Slidin' board of addiction where my people done slid
|
| Only thing in life that really seems equal is dead
|
| Don’t need a shrink to take a peek and see through his head
|
| Just study this hood culture where the future is lead
|
| And understand how a young child could shoot you for bread
|
| His whole like «Stop Snitchin'» «Fuck the blue and the red»
|
| Runnin' the spot, gun cocked, give two to the dred
|
| Only shook when the lookouts holla «The Feds!»
|
| Then you dash, quickly stash or swallow the meds
|
| Upstate, pacin', stressin', walkin' the edge
|
| Second tier, come in here, get tossed from the ledge
|
| I’m a crazy celly, like a war crazed Isreali
|
| I try harder but it seem like these days will fail me
|
| See I’m a psycho, in an asylum I might go
|
| Or I’ll be at the door of the Lord with a rifle
|
| Cuz I want more than James, Junior, and Michael
|
| Or I’mma keep studyin' this criminal bible
|
| Psalm one, Palm gun
|
| Ain’t no fears in kings, so be prepared for the long run
