The Dark (Trinity) |
Mountain high and valley low and river wind and tunnel deep |
I have traveled chasing demons screaming all I find I keep |
If you don’t pay like you weigh alright okay that’s fine with me |
I’ma just spray my heat and say my piece and lay you down to sleep |
Ain’t nobody tell you clowns to speak |
I’mma AK you down the street |
Draw that bump that’s built for the riots see how quiet y’all can keep |
Ain’t no wilding it ain’t no problem |
It ain’t no question it ain’t no beef |
Cut that check then things are sweet |
I’ma go buy some diamond teeth |
I’ll be damned if my setback gonna help you get back on your feet |
No surrender no retreat |
Nigga we out here trying to eat |
Hashtag diamond dog tag |
Money bag, nice swag, pockets need an ice bag |
Toe tag, body bag |
Niggas lose their lives sad |
Rockets in their flight path |
Breaking bad, making bad |
Choices out here thinking fast |
Smoking wet and drinking bad |
Soaking wet and sinking fast |
Shoot them niggas making cash |
Stick them niggas take their stash |
The law of gravity meets, the law of averages |
Ain’t no sense in attempting to civilize savages |
Even though I wish I could be spared my embarrassment |
I’m a nigga, other niggas pale in comparison |
We out in Paris yet but still a nigga perishing |
No idea how much time’s left, fuck trying to cherish it |
A life in times unchecked, now that’s American |
Inherit the wind, pressure in everything |
The world ain’t ready for someone like me |
And life is sex, stress, drama and I’m hooked on all 3 |
I’d rather O.D. |
than be the next O. G |
You fronting for a whore that already chose me |
One man revolution that’s supportin prostitution |
I’m trying pimp the game, where balling don’t mean hooping |
And riding don’t mean cruising |
It mean keep your bitch-ass moving |
If you ain’t built for bruising, redrum ain’t in your blueprint |
In a jungle made of concrete, every animal Jumanji |
On Eazy-E and PCP, ass-cash or EBT |
How you monetize pigeons on a power line |
On a road to the riches every dudes a dollar sign |
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, long as all the smoke is mine |
And the liquor store delivers faster than a Papa Johns |
And I heard that def-ass caller money’s on the other line |
The last episode of Good Times is my life |
It’s a phrase they say in the streets when the young players meet: |
Get rich or die trying |
But the funny thing about that phrase to me |
Is that these little niggas be lying |
Cause don’t nobody wanna die |
But everybody trying to get rich though |
But the fucked up thing about that |
These lil' niggas don’t how to get rich so |
I still run with those angels |
Man I still peep all those angles |
Speaking with guns, sticking in tongues |
Talking that Arabic and that Yiddish |
Riding them trains, stashing them chains, bangles |
Yeah I played all those games, though |
My tag on the wall, you niggas look up |
You can still see my name yo |
How did I end up where I’m at? |
It’s kind of hard to explain yo |
I remember all i wanted was a gold chain and a Kangol |
I remember all i wanted was a gold chain and some Jordans too |
Crossed that bitch, then I got that bitch |
Now all I want from her’s an abortion |
My mind filled with distortion |
My eyelids say caution |
Yeah I sold crack to get my soul back |
They say it’s gonna cost a fortune |
And I wonder if Allah take debit? |
‘Cause a nigga got real bad credit |
If not I ain’t got a whole lot so a nigga like me just can forget it |
