| Dear Lord
|
| Please, I need me some shelter. |
| My feet are numb. |
| I feel like
|
| I’ve been walking from here to Brooklyn, looking for gum like
|
| Some dummy. |
| See, cats and dogs alike just run from me. |
| Eyes red
|
| And my soul real hungry, feeling dizzy, nerves twitchy
|
| I’m sick from all this jealousy and envy. |
| The haters
|
| Don’t even scratch my car no more, they’re out to get me. |
| I ain’t
|
| Crazy. |
| Even if I’m out chilling, just me and my baby, I’ll see the
|
| Same car too long in my mirror, they’re seeing 80. I’m beat
|
| Can You help me? |
| My man just died young, he’s turnt out
|
| I need to talk to Your son, El Shaddai. |
| He smiled
|
| We cried. |
| I lied. |
| He knew. |
| I tried. |
| Went to
|
| Hug him, and he spread his arms wide, then he died
|
| «But whatever it was, the predator was pure evil. |
| But was it a monster or a
|
| murderer?»
|
| Fuck that!
|
| Your crew’s felt, reaching for the tool belt
|
| The tool belt, you heard the bird. |
| Cruise the belt on the Suffolk State
|
| Corrupted plates, muscle hustle weight, tussles
|
| I ate—fuck that! |
| You got to eat, props to keep |
| Lost the cheese, knocking knees, crops to feed, cops are thieves
|
| (Yo, Kong, stop to breathe) I’m in the
|
| Fifth with a fifth and a spliff and chick I got to hit
|
| The spliff lit. |
| Grab the mitt, play the field, Kong
|
| The burglar, the murderer from the park to the
|
| Graveyard. |
| Kong is moving furniture, some shit, I
|
| Anchor your chamber, bless you, then I blang-blang
|
| Bang you for your bling-bling, thank you
|
| Sank you. |
| Niggas fold niggas acting special, test
|
| Who? |
| Kong the wrong one to the streets
|
| «Back in the village, the terrified sheepherders offered a strange account of
|
| the attack. |
| Whispers of revolution were in the air»
|
| Gunshots
|
| Common as crickets, but, if and only if it gets twisted
|
| Is it accepted. |
| Whatever gets you arrested, I’m with it
|
| Forget it. |
| My soul’s been molested enough. |
| Stepping it up
|
| This next life wings never the truck or the coupe
|
| Stuck in a loop like ice, feeding their seeds, get caught
|
| Misleading the sheep chopped at their knees, watching ‘em bleed, cocking
|
| Your squeeze. |
| By any means, though it seems a bit different |
| Seeing your son twitch while you’re watching him dream. |
| Hear my cries
|
| When he older, will he? |
| Will I get to see it? |
| When he
|
| Tell me the truth, will I believe it? |
| Give him eyes to see
|
| Through the lies and the tricks of all evil, and, if
|
| Not me, Lord Jesus, please let him believe you
|
| «Reports are pouring in of a ruthless beast on an unstoppable killing spree.
|
| It sucks every drop of blood out of its victims. |
| It leaves a trail of terror
|
| wherever it roams. |
| No one knows what it is, but its name alone strikes fear
|
| into the hearts of many» |
