Lyrics Memento - Ransom

Memento

Keep a small circle, just the people who stuck around with you
Still cut it down a few
I tried to be a fan, but these people you lookin' up to
Of course they’ll be lookin' down at you (damn!), couldn’t allow them to
Fuck givin' 'em flowers while they here
I kill 'em off, then I gladly give 'em they flowers due
That’s what power do, this man’s enormous
And never been a stranger to shinin' like Danny Torrance, huh
Ran’s performance, a fresh thesis
This from a nigga that’s been tatted with the ink from the chess pieces
Best secret’s never been told since seven years old
I been tortured, ain’t no remorse for these benevolent souls (no)
I swear I seen the Devil in clothes
He said, «Ain't nobody livin' that’s innocent, nigga ball out
The bottom’s like the top, I’ll be there when everything falls out
Forget ya inhibitions, no virgins live in this whore house» (it's a fact)
It’s like Cosby walkin' through Morehouse
You sleepin', I’ll be tempted to victimize you, I mystify you
Hero to these strong black males who failed in the system, lied to (let's go)
Been a rebel, so why would this surprise you?
Group home toddler with two chrome monsters
I remind 'em of Gorgeous Gangsta in his two tone Boxster (Stack)
Full blown mobster, I don’t know niggas who fear cases
From a era where you probably got killed in them staircases
Our Father, most niggas don’t share graces
Prayer hands under ya pic’s what you get in some rare cases
Look in the eyes of these tatted up tear faces
Even a snake can appear gracious
Yeah, every bar full of knowledge
I went to prison, told my kids I went off to some college
I can offer you solace, everything that glitters ain’t gold
Watch ya foes, only the meek can fall for mirages…
