| May the Lord have mercy on my soul
|
| Forgive me for my fetishes, my purchases, my clothes
|
| Allow me to catch my rhythm so the nervousness just goes
|
| That’s why I sound so certain in my verses and my flows
|
| The verbiage gets merciless this wordsmithness just rolls
|
| I’ve tuned into my pertinence, my purposes, my goals
|
| The feeling when you realize you’ve been working for your foes
|
| And the curtains have just opened and they worthlessness exposed
|
| You remember where you came from, where the purchases was stole
|
| There was nothing in the oven and just work up on the stove
|
| And you blossomed from the bottom, yeah, you worked with it and rose
|
| From nothing to a dozen and a gardener there grows
|
| Tell 'em!
|
| Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart (That's me)
|
| Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart
|
| (Yessir)
|
| Brave heart
|
| (Yeah I got that) Brave heart
|
| (You know) Brave heart
|
| May the Lord have mercy on my soul
|
| Like Scholls keep cushion where I land
|
| Keep the devil off my heels
|
| But please keep me on my toes
|
| Like a reposessor checking for everything I drove
|
| Like I owe, but I don’t
|
| Paid my dues from the go
|
| Doing donuts in the door, keep my shoes on the floor
|
| Revered by the rich, plus approved by the poor
|
| I’ve been sped up where they sniff it
|
| (I've been sped up where they sniff it)
|
| And screwed up where they pour
|
| See I flew so way up high
|
| And I SCUBA’d way down low
|
| Put the top down on my fears
|
| Put the roof up on my woes
|
| I dropped that food and liquor to put you up on my stove
|
| They shoplifted and stole
|
| That just let me know they know
|
| That was Lupe #1 now this version #4
|
| And I still feel like a virgin me versus the globe
|
| From the surface to the core
|
| I took on the biggest wave
|
| And I surfed it to the shore with no pomade in my fro
|
| Took the wood from the slave ships and furnished my abode
|
| That boat is now my bed, desk, dressers and my drawers
|
| Now that’s a house of pain!
|
| Plus I use nooses when I hang up all my clothes
|
| Couldn’t change up if I chose
|
| That’s me
|
| Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart (That's me)
|
| Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart
|
| (Yessir)
|
| Brave heart
|
| (Yeah I got that) Brave heart
|
| (You know) Brave heart
|
| May the lord have…
|
| Mercy on my soul |
