Everything out here seems hopeless
Gotta bury all my friends so low
I'm trying just to keep my focus
They tell me You could cleanse my soul
I wanna pray but I also know that talk is cheap
And I wanna stay but it's like I'm out here walking sleep
Before the Lord
Bad apple rotten to the core
No remorse death on the piano playing course
Watch for the snakes I'm a ape with the torch
In the Toyota gettin green
Yoda lifting with the force
Hu
My little rellies only rap when they bored
And they trapped because they actually poor
Grab the mack
It's a jack
Lift ya frame off the floor
Hit your house
Clean it out
Yes we came to do chores
It just rains and it pours
Committing murder just to get accepted
And never speaking to the tech
Just one drop a poison it's all infected
My neighborhood's a baby that has been neglected
It's crazy
Cuz wisdom from a square we don't respect it
He gave us life
Unfit mothers we abortin it
Died for our sins left hangin
He's anointing it
God's will unfortunate
Mission where the coordinates for truth
Go wild an animal when you corner it
Ain't nothing sweet
Had the teeth with the Cinnabon strips
Guilty
Yep
Until we proven in the Son
Hot boy I'm always in the sun
Nah I ain't fittin to run
Faithful woman I'm trying to get me one
Young and sad from momma's room
Smelling burnt plastic
Scattered ashes on the ave
We can't afford a casket
Work stashed him right inside a laundry basket
Pray for pain bare faced
I can't mask it
Everything out here seems hopeless
Gotta bury all my friends so low
I'm trying just to keep my focus
They tell me You could cleanse my soul
I wanna pray but I also know that talk is cheap
And I wanna stay but it's like I'm out here walking sleep
Everything out here seems hopeless
Gotta bury all my friends so low
I'm trying just to keep my focus
They tell me You could cleanse my soul
I wanna pray but I also know that talk is cheap
And I wanna stay but it's like I'm out here walking sleep
For real
I came fresh up out the soup where they be boiling people
You can't have righteous fruit if the soil is evil
And even though on every corner there's a steeple
And they claim to be disciples they
Don't fight for justice or the people
See I was a youngin' you never found in class
Dreaming of a mound of cash
SK and a pound of hash
A broken hearted thug
I was in need of guidance
And they told me God was love
But all I seen was violence
I witnessed hella murders with my own eyes
Out here you'd break fast to get some ketchup on your home fries
And who cares to wipe its tears if a stone cries
I've grown wise
How can you reap the truth if you've sown lies
The devil's serving I worked for my own death
Guess I was kinda like a whale to try swallowing the sea
The mere fact that I am here
Mind boggling to me
And what ya'll calling luck was God's sovereign decree
For real
They say I over compliment the streets
But you're only concerned with that
Cuz you don't comprehend the streets
Speaking all that Christianese
They don't comprehend your speech
Killas that be quick to squeeze
Are not the kind you tend to reach
Huh
They took my rellies bread up out his stash
Tossed his body in the dumpster and he bled out on the trash
We settle for the dark
Cuz the light is hard to find
I love my rellies to the heart
I pray for lifers all the time
Yeah
I spit for the gangsters but this ain't trippin music
It's a different movement that sticks with ya til you get improvement
And the hood still love me cuz I contribute to it
Focus on the Father blood I promise that he'll get us through it
And the hood gon' love you if you contribute to it
Focus on the Father blood I promise He gon' get you through it
Everything out here seems hopeless
Gotta bury all my friends so low
I'm trying just to keep my focus
They tell me You could cleanse my soul
I wanna pray but I also know that talk is cheap
And I wanna stay but it's like I'm out here walking sleep
