| I know for certain, everything ain’t right
|
| I know for certain, everything ain’t right
|
| I know for certain, everything ain’t right
|
| Everyone
|
| I know for certain, everything ain’t right
|
| There was these two hoods hooded, footed in soldiers with tempers hot
|
| Quick to simmer pots stewing beef
|
| No true relief is to the team to a T, descriptions fit the profile
|
| Niggas quick to throw down, forget a pro brown, state of mind is stakes inclined
|
| They gotta get theirs too
|
| A fall through the crevice in this preface to apocalypse
|
| Forever on the ave when the bags full of consequence
|
| Place your currency down and drown your misery
|
| Master mundane, niggas in unchained, off of it
|
| No alternates, so often it gets dirty in the trenches
|
| Just occupational hazard, massive hustle, big doe is on the brain stem
|
| Trying to step into the A. M
|
| Just trying to cop product, no more potluck
|
| Mouths open might as well eat good as each stood
|
| Eager in the path to feel we laugh a lot
|
| This meant to happen and let it, be in a blaze
|
| Guns clapping like they Cassidy and Sundance
|
| That’s 'nuff plans
|
| Till when the news came it wasn’t news to nobody
|
| Two bodies found slumped in front of an S-Class
|
| Stripped to the marrow
|
| Chicks in apparel
|
| Ice went missing
|
| Well listen real close
|
| But listen real close
|
| «I know for certain»
|
| These are reason people die fo'
|
| «Everything ain’t right»
|
| Cause life is survival
|
| «I know for certain»
|
| Certain things you try to keep my eye on
|
| «Everything ain’t right»
|
| I could cry, but I won’t
|
| Daylight broke, they spoke subtle
|
| Cuddle as one mass
|
| Or two separate souls searching for love three dimensional
|
| Orbiting like a binary star, haunted corners they move
|
| Just losing sight of the baggage they always carry cause they packing light
|
| Past relations managed like that dot com promotion
|
| No more broken hope and rope a dope knock downs
|
| Not this time
|
| Our love was like a T.K.O
|
| He whisper kissed her on her eyelids and bounced out
|
| For another day at the J. O
|
| No glamours, a custodial worker, none the less it pays so it’s
|
| Part of the plan, piling 'em out the lower end
|
| Focused in on greener grass
|
| Notions of a fam and a picket fence
|
| Summer days innocent, just fishing with his son
|
| They’ll call him Dante, that’s a while away
|
| At least that’s what he’s thinking
|
| Ironically, missus wondering why her cycle ain’t came
|
| But maintain composure to the store to gather proof
|
| Before she goes jumping to conclusions she wanna be absolute
|
| Later on that evening, money leaving out from work
|
| With thoughts of a meal, a warm shower, and long hours with his ol' girl
|
| But walking to the train he heard the guns pop
|
| The stray bullet was someone else’s name, it came for him
|
| As he lay his last image it flashed by
|
| Died before knowing he brought a baby boy into the world |
