The Gift |
Police stay infiltrating |
But us black folks really infiltrating our damn self you know what I’m saying? |
So we just gotta roll with the punches |
And be prepared for anything come along our way, you know? |
I had it hard I remember it all, mane |
No need to purp, I had to work a proper plan |
Because my mama, she was workin' and cookin' and doin' it all |
Washin' my cloths, cleaning my nose, scrubbin' the floor, scrubbing the walls |
She said «whatever you do with your life, just do it properly |
And maybe one day you own your own business and buy some property» |
My momma schooled me with the game oh yes she laced me |
So all them sheisty suckers up in the town, they couldn’t fade me |
Still can’t, I clock bank, I’m potent like a spliff |
You know why? |
Because the good lord gave me the gift |
I don’t know what you can do |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Whatever it is make sure it’s good for you |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
A butcher, a baker, a candlestickmaker |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Whatever |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
I don’t know what you can do |
Whatever it is make sure it’s good for you |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
A butcher, a baker, a candlestickmaker |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
You know the rhyme |
How would I rap, how would I rhyme? |
How would I get me some peace of mind? |
I’m thanking the lord, I’m having a |
For pulling this shit that I pulled before |
Laughing and gaffing at criminal minded |
Federal agents follow me 24/7, I pop my spot but they can’t find it |
And they’re so mad cause I’m shaking em, breaking em, taking em, yes I’m swift |
You know why? |
Because the good lord gave me the gift |
I don’t know what you can do |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Whatever it is make sure it’s good for you |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
A butcher, a butcher, a candlestickmaker |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Whatever |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
I don’t know what you can do |
Whatever it is make sure it’s good for you |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
A butcher, a baker, a candlestickmaker |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
You know the rhyme |
Chilling in home like a zone, reminding myself of Al Capone |
Cause soon as some drama comes up in my face, I’m telling you nigga it’s on |
And the lad the young ones |
Slanging and banging and hanging out on the turf, don’t be the sprung one, |
the dumb one |
Who follow the leader? |
You be the leader so we can achieve what goal be |
Cause I tell you my brother there’s nothing as good as keeping your ass off |
parole |
You gotta do what you got’s to do, you gotta hustle |
Just remember the circumstances brother, life is just like a puzzle |
I’m dropping something that you can relax your mind to |
It ain’t no ratatatat, you go with the gat, I roll with the Ragtop crew |
Just a gang of the riggidy rap so we can lift up out of the five-o face |
And tell them that the Good Lord gave me the gift |
I don’t know what you can do |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Whatever it is make sure it’s good for you |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
A butcher, a baker, a candlestickmaker |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Whatever |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
I don’t know what you can do |
Whatever it is make sure it’s good for you |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
A butcher, a baker, a candlestickmaker |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
You know the rhyme |
He gave me |
The gift, the gift to sang |
He gave me |
The gift, the gift to sang |
To do my thing whenever I want |
To sing I’m sorry, make things go right |
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
Listen to this |
He gave me the voice to sang |
(I'm tryna control my scene, it’s me and my friend in the room cloudy) |
Oh yeah |
The same way 4-Tay is doing his thang |
(He gave me the gift to spit, the gift to keep the crowd rowdy) |
He gave me the voice to sang |
