| Do you believe, in honor amongst thieves,
|
| And celebrating making it out here in one piece,
|
| Or better yet taking it out on who couldn’t leave,
|
| And everything relating to how you want it to be,
|
| Do you believe, in knowing whatever you might have seen,
|
| Was all just a part of what we was titled to be,
|
| It was all in the song when we was finding the key,
|
| But singing along wouldn’t show what entitlement means,
|
| Do you believe, In you being told how to be you,
|
| Where everything you are is supposedly not in cue,
|
| From mimicking to you being told how to improve,
|
| And how you benefit depends on you following suit,
|
| Do you believe, That you can be taught how
|
| to be who you already was before you was bogged down,
|
| Like «this is what best represents y’all, nevermind the fact that I’ve yet to
|
| step in your yard or ever been that involved»,
|
| Do you believe, In loading a .44 and blowing the corridor
|
| For all that you want for, but learning the court of law
|
| Could never be cornered off, unless you were one of them,
|
| Would you just call it off,
|
| Or do you believe, That you can be given it off of privilege,
|
| And you can pass that to whoever you coming in with,
|
| And that’ll lock arms like deciding that you get it
|
| But the timing of it proves that you didn’t,
|
| I mean do you believe
|
| Do you believe, do you believe in it all,
|
| Being amongst honor if thieves get involved,
|
| Or being amongst honor if believing what you want
|
| Becomes more than you ever would’ve thought,
|
| I mean do you believe
|
| There was a story of a kid who had his father everyday,
|
| And his father had the grip but he also had a name,
|
| Off of more than just the grip, it was off of how he changed,
|
| And it was all because his kid wasn’t supposed to be the same,
|
| But the story of his friends was from off a different page,
|
| So his father was the difference under all that he became,
|
| But he still was with whatever, they could call him any day
|
| And they would get to it together, every part of him remained,
|
| Then the kid had a moment where it all rearranged
|
| When some kids unloaded on his partner for a name,
|
| And the kid saw it all from the draw to the aim
|
| And he felt like he was woke enough to want all of the blame,
|
| And an idea came to get the grip like his pops,
|
| And have a conversation and end it with a shot
|
| And it all made sense til he was picturing his pops
|
| And as much as he regretted it, he felt he’d better not,
|
| And, then there was a kid watching all of the above
|
| With his pops in a theatre and it caught him like a drug,
|
| He was hooked on the idea of wondering if son
|
| Should’ve stayed to the end and started talking with his gun,
|
| Cause he felt if it was him then, all of the above
|
| Would’ve took a different spin that would’ve started with a slug
|
| That would’ve spun someone around til he was coughing up blood
|
| And, tucked him underground and it’d be all from outta love,
|
| But, love made his pops breakdown what it was like
|
| To have to keep a trey pound and spray it out on sight
|
| And how it ain’t no turning back when you surrounded by them lights,
|
| Cause he had a ton of moments where the pound saved his life,
|
| And he listened and it wasn’t hard to get what he was proving,
|
| But he still caught visions of him picking up and shooting,
|
| Cause he knew if it was him that his friends would jump into it,
|
| Since they ain’t have fathers that could give them an influence,
|
| And the more he realized the balance of both sides,
|
| When his pops said «protect yours, let no one overstep yours,
|
| But know that when you step on, ain’t no stepping away,
|
| It sticks with you forever like how I’m here everyday»,
|
| But he still taught me how to load up, just in case,
|
| And due to my composure alotta moments were saved,
|
| Now knowing everything you just heard and what it made,
|
| Let me know what you would prefer further explained,
|
| Do you believe? |
