So many people are prayin' on my downfall
Like the preacher when the pallbearer lowers me down
Like a confederate flag at the town hall
I doubt y'all will be hangin' around once I finally come to pass
Old friends at my wake
Still eatin' off my plate
Prob'ly waitin' around to see if I'm dead, or if it's fake
Or if the poison worked, of course it did
They take their dirt and pour it in
Rejoice and then I'll push my fist up through the soiling
And now I'm back!
Crypt never dies
Even if you're putting a bullet between my eyes
Bitch, I will survive
No goodnight, only good sight
'Cause I run my competition over like I'm Suge Knight
'Cause they'll tell you that I passed, my music'll live on
They gon' play every track and you gonna feel wrong
You will question your worth and lose sleep over the cost
You can murder me on Earth but can't murder me in your thoughts
So many enemies pretending to be a friend
'Cause the jealousy is relishin' heavily deep within
Fuck that, fuck you
Why act like you don't have no clue?
I knew that you were bad, it's true
So, dude!
Get the fuck out my face or I'm gonna retaliate
'Cause I'm bound to say
Anything that'll make you cry, or an equivalent sound to make
'Cause I'm proud to say
That I'm movin' on in my life without this negative shit
I'll flip the bird to anyone who can shit on this shit and spin
(Whoa!)
People will talk 'til I'm lying inside of my grave
So many lies, so many snakes, and so many fakes
But if you come at me, remember what I say
Revenge ain't sweet, you better dig two graves
One for your body to rest in its place
One for the scattered remains of your brain!
(Whoa!)
Goodnight (sleep)
Is a nigga good? What it look like? (Sheesh)
Doin' anything that I would like (beast)
Grindin' every night for the good life
(Yee, yee, whoa!)
Goodnight (sleep)
Is a nigga good? What it look like? (Sheesh)
This world makes black kids all afraid to dream
'Cause now the cops protest as they take a knee
They got the right to decide if your fate's to breathe
Or if you bleed in the streets where the pavement screams
They use a wide brush just to paint the seams
Assign the blame on you, so they reign supreme
A lot of questions
Got all of the people second-guessin'
How they've given all the power to police with deadly weapons
And to see the justice given to a whiter supremacist
'Bout as likely as you witnessing the flight of a pegasus: never
But I refuse to stay ignorant
Like Killer Mike, organize and remain diligent
Instilling it, but never gonna preach to the choir
Speak to any people you can teach or inspire, but
It shouldn't have to be clarified
If you witnessin' the murder, they provide them an alibi
They divide us into colors, make it harder to strategize
And discard the heart of martyrs to discourage a paradise
(Whoa!)
But we still have time
Don't gotta be black to hear the screams and the cries
We can all recognize that the lies are compromised (skoodwidit)
Of the texts and the guides
That're disguised as the right to police all the streets
With your life as a prize
But we still have hope
Just gotta stay strong, as we let 'em all know
We never get cold feet as we walk in the snow
(Whoa!)
Goodnight (sleep)
Is a nigga good? What it look like? (Sheesh)
Doin' anything that I would like (beast)
Grindin' every night for the good life
(Yee, yee, whoa!)
Goodnight (sleep)
Is a nigga good? What it look like? (Sheesh)
Doin' anything that I would like (beast)
Grindin' every night for the good life
(Yee, yee)
Two months before the original dropped
Breonna Taylor got shot, and ain't nobody forgot
Five months later, they debated if Samad's on top
It don't mean nothing 'cause they still ain't imprison the cops
Am I trippin' or not?
'Cause I could showboat, like a picture of yachts
But I'ma decide to never switch up the plot
Could you imagine sleeping deep and getting popped in your cot?
With twenty rounds, you layin' down, so before you could say, "Stop!":
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven) Eight shots
Is this how we supposed to make America great? (Ha)
If a bullet creepin' up in yo' head from my gray Glock
To have me sentenced, would it take 150 days? (Not)
But if the fuzz did it? Get acquitted
The glove fitted, but the judge shifted his attention to drug dealin'
Give a shrug if one of us killed by them thugs
If they got that badge
It's more important not to wear that mask?
Nevermind, I
Heard we back for seconds, guess the time's right
(Bomb like) American drones on Palestine, yikes! (Not quite)
Got the wrong source if I ain't Five Mics
(I'm bright) I could outshine my own limelight
I'm the best, it's apparent, like Royce da 5'9"'s height
But they won't go acknowledge a nigga 'til he signed, right?
If I sign twice, the only way that I re-sign
Hi, my name Samad Savage, and I'm always down to ride, like
The beat now
I pick up my pen then I sheet out your weak style
You'll be down
Remember the first time it was a freestyle?
Tell me how you thinkin' I'm never gonna let you shine, uh
你好 (speed out)
I'm on a Troopa track
I'm takin' it to the max
You movin' back
You ready to lose, in fact
I've proven that there's nothing to do, relax
You might as well sue your dad
Producing you, my dude, was truly bad
He should've took lube he had
And smoothly jacked you into a bag (whoa)
Hold up, I got more to say
The next time I go M.I.A., it's gonna be in the Florida state
'Cause Jersey helped me make a lot
But homie, I got more to make
I bought my girl a ring that look just like the shape of Dora's face
It shinin' when she left up to the top, no flag of Uruguay
I'm prayin' everyday to insure my soul is the Lord's to take
I never cry, no Jordan face, my mind is more like Norman Bates
I stick my thing into the dirt and to the world I fornicate
I'm gonna take it to another level that's not pretty
You are not a god, not even half, not even demi'
Pop, like Smoke, and my hustle on Nipsey
I'm a Mac, like Miller, I can feel 'em all in me
Gimme the ball and I'ma go strictly super hard
You gotta know Envi's in the heart of all of those picky with the bars
Nigga, really?
No room for you fools and buffoons
Coming soon, see the moon
I'ma drop Duo-Litty then that's gonna be a (goodnight)
