| Gotta keep it real, you know?
|
| Yeah
|
| Wade told me to speak on it, so let me speak
|
| And if G’s making the beats, then let it breathe
|
| They saying J left, but I’m taking a rain check
|
| Ain’t writing no disses to him, it don’t make sense
|
| You should pray for a brother, who’s strayed to the gutter
|
| Oh, beef is hot like some steak in an oven
|
| You get a lot of views and clicks, man I’m getting used to it
|
| Every other show, here’s the dialogue I usually get
|
| You seen J’s page S.O. |
| What do you think about what he says S.O.
|
| Why don’t let the beast out the cage S.O. |
| And tell everybody’s that he’s
|
| deranged S.O.
|
| Leave me out, won’t take the easy route
|
| You ain’t drawing me in easily, that ain’t what we about to be honest or where
|
| we need to be
|
| Cause when I heard, I ain’t go to Twitter
|
| I examined myself like I’m supposed to then I prayed to the Lord like keep me,
|
| Lord keep me
|
| I don’t wanna play someone, I’m not like Keke
|
| Cause outside of the grace of the God that’s reached me
|
| There goes I, going over the yellow line
|
| Ain’t talking some sideline smack, this is my town facts
|
| Ripples that are felt all over in my town
|
| That’s way bigger than I, praise God I’m still here fighting evil inside
|
| I realize the same sword they knight you with, they gon' good night you with
|
| Deep sizes, I’m writing this
|
| Mama taught me lessons and yeah they’re still enlightening
|
| But that can’t take the pain or even fight it yeah
|
| These pain killers don’t kill pain
|
| I was trying to wait and stay still, but I still stayed
|
| I feel shamed but knowing my bills mean I don’t trust in myself but God’s real
|
| grace
|
| I’m still screaming it, for those who don’t and do believe in it
|
| These rappers posting like they heathenists, yeah
|
| But pride comes before the fall, that’s the common law
|
| And man’s flaw is to think that he’s above it all
|
| G throw the ball, watch me run with it
|
| I’m done wishin', got these hands to the plough and the water, I’m on fishin'
|
| Got a girl in the city, she pretty, I’m Stan Smithin'
|
| And she offer me more, still the only one who gets it
|
| But, back to these raps though
|
| They ain’t half loaf
|
| Actin' anti-social but never hit with a ASBO
|
| Started off local but now the kid international
|
| Call me revolutionary, Castro
|
| Look at all the things that we amass
|
| Easy for them to be to be a master and a mass
|
| Take a trip back to the past, yeah
|
| I was with Nicholas in a class tellin' the kids, «There's more to life,
|
| have a vision and a path»
|
| Serene prolly bumpin' this hit out in his whip
|
| Shola may be playing this tune out in the 6
|
| Ashley may be playing this tune out in the A
|
| And Frank may be playing this too out in LA
|
| Elder Road to the globe
|
| Never rolled in a Rolls, but I’m known by The Ghost
|
| If you know then you know
|
| Gotta handle the Scripture, these rappers holding a toast
|
| Keep a mind for the listener, I know many who don’t
|
| You can brag about the money and ice, man I’m sure
|
| But sometimes those who have less still have more
|
| And sometimes those who are blessed with pastures
|
| Ain’t got a lot of money, yet they have joy
|
| Took a trip to the village and saw happiness
|
| Then I came back to The West and I saw what happened when
|
| White-washed tombs and prisons are so immaculate
|
| But the insides are dirty, homie you catchin' it
|
| Must I explain to you? |
| I hope not
|
| I am not on the soapbox, Mr. Robot
|
| I’m just tryin' to show you roadblocks and some cold spots
|
| So that you won’t get hit by the same old rocks
|
| Don’t fall but rise, that’s what I mean
|
| Can’t even do this man |
