| Can it all be so simple, Cory and Dennis?,
|
| Top 3s and chopped cheese all thru the winters,
|
| Box Jeeps and Cardi B’s off of the scrimmage,
|
| Mahogany behind the seats, caught in the lyrics,
|
| Do you know, where you going to?, draw up what they know of you,
|
| Picture that with enough space for whoever should go with you,
|
| Told me what we here for, same way it was told to you,
|
| My Saint Laz’s heavy enough to pray over both you,
|
| Meaning, yall and me is, a-alikes for the being
|
| Of time, time being a way to find you a lead in,
|
| Gil Scott Heron, Jill Scott heroine,
|
| Hands folded for apple bags or you Elohim it,
|
| Be as it may, shit will seem to be straight,
|
| And banking on collateral’s what it be out the gate,
|
| The beauty of it all but you still see the decay,
|
| And counting’s even prettier baby, so either way, either way
|
| This shit feels like we living a life on borrowed time,
|
| This shit feels like we living a life being caught in a high,
|
| Been in jail since my daddy was born,
|
| But my pen is collateral bond,
|
| Oh my God, oh my God,
|
| Are we really free here?
|
| Either way it’s, more than just what they’re saying,
|
| Say you look in the tone and it shows you what they’re portraying,
|
| They giving you the tone that you need like you was related,
|
| Feeling like to atone is to keep it from ever fading,
|
| Til you knew the tone you receiving was off a payment,
|
| Like when it’s two tones on the V' that you serenading,
|
| Mike '92 tone on the Beamer, Rockaway Ray it,
|
| Or white and blue tone from the D’s all in the way and,
|
| It gets, in between, soon as you got it you grey it,
|
| I mean, silly me for tryna Co-Op and New Day it,
|
| I be, centerpieced like I was tryna two way it,
|
| I preach, Hennessy but I see the need to Dusse it,
|
| The thought of pink bottles of Spade turns into spilling them,
|
| Over flow on the dough like the red bones that deliver them,
|
| Yeah, be as it may, shit will seem to be straight,
|
| And banking on collateral’s what it be out the gate, either way
|
| This shit feels like we living a life on borrowed time,
|
| This shit feels like we living a life being caught in a high,
|
| Been in jail since my daddy was born,
|
| But my pen is collateral bond,
|
| Oh my God, oh my God,
|
| Are we really free here?
|
| And you in the back of a rental, in front of a bag of maybes,
|
| Like maybe shit’ll move to where you can call this the 80's,
|
| Or maybe this is ruined and you in for an awakening,
|
| And the tone that you knew was the root why you mistaken,
|
| And waiting, and still waiting, and still waiting,
|
| Told youngin on my second classic to drill a way in,
|
| Word to any misconception that they drilled to us,
|
| 'cause you still shooing to kill if you kill the shooters,
|
| They told us fuck it.
|
| Either way it’s what we want so do believe what we on baby,
|
| I respond like We just here to pick up on some money 'fore they tell us we gone
|
| baby
|
| They respond like Get it how you live and how you live is how to get it to God
|
| baby,
|
| And I respond like either way you put it this collateral is all off the arm baby |
