So let me get this right I just need some water wit it I like it simplistic In the morning with my instrumental  With this shit im coming second fiddle to none Wise man know he knows nothing at all and live wit a law cant have it all We all take a loss The more i gain the harder i fall Unh I fear to love So to some im loveless Unh The transition aint my favorite period We pray for safety from the same experience I pray we finish what we started Unh I try stop myself from balling but the tears keep fallin Its harder when you dont believe it U dont wana see it I close my eyes and it watch it fade to black And light my kush and then i chase the yack Cant speak a word i just feel ya soul Im on a road to all the times i know Im driving slow when im on this 1 My og use to get me right for the low And thats on everything My hightop and the lil flame I used to hustle like i seen em for a pair of sneakers He had put me on to ghost for my 1st time The shit was like i heard my first rhyme ever I keep my smoke close every time i need you god Note 1 for big cRest YeaI still know you hear me Even if you aint here Im finna paint this mural for you The late bloom watch it wake at the glance of your face I smoke my lucky second to last place This shit leaving a bad taste  Cuz i aint get to say i love you before you went away Learn to leave in grace One of the many lessons tasked upon me Someday you gon have go through the laundry He warned me YeaI still know you hear me Even if you aint here

Whos your ally Nah wheres the target on the bad guy I really cant see Too many snake circling around me I be light on my feet I yearn for peace For all the brothers on the streets  AyoLets keep it a buck We all got beef wit some blood and shit turn sour over cream Maybe your perspective change your reality Unh U catch a body for you brothers name This shit bring more than pain The aftermath my niggas missing wishing you was sitting in class We used to skip it like hopscotch  This life we living is a hot drop Death mission for a nigga got my mama trippin I always wondered why she asked me how im feelin She prolly asking how im living  God willing  AyoAye Whos your ally Nah wheres the target on the bad guy I really cant see Too many snake circling around me I be light on my feet I yearn for peace For all the brothers on the streets Ayeanother fight i wake wit every morning my nigga steady mournin some take the path cuz they been in pain too long surviving cancer 13 yrs strong she holding on so i can sing her song some niggas missing from an accident i pray he said his wishes b4 he crashed his whip i just dont see the plan but i dont call the shots all i know is ride or die unh i'm desensitized to seeing mines shine to divine light its like the time is never not right  Aye Whos your ally Nah wheres the target on the bad guy its like each cop got they fab 5 who they running down in the town its a black face or a ese either way somebody going down load a round into a clown if he make the wrong move and may he make the right one apply more pressure treat him like the local barstool he feeling powerful because of his job they got his back even when he killing they kind commit a crime and they praising his pride AyoAye Whos your ally Nah wheres the target on the bad guy I really cant see Too many snake circling around me I be light on my feet I yearn for peace For all the brothers on the streets

Its a mile high climb This just the start of it Slip up when you aint make it too far it hurts less My journey aint earned yet See im still hesitant Im humbling and bubbling like gumbo Niggas wanna know whats goin on wit wu Shit i doHonestly i been in the mirror Its hard to see clearer when your head is in a stirup A fork in the road and all lanes is bad decisions I pick my guilt up I keep it moving wit a changeup I speak different language from what i came wit Ashamed that i aint cherished what i dropped Unh Now niggas paying twice to cop The story of life This a honor u should apologize for not respecting my repetwa  I bless yall still Forgiving will Niggas go left too much some body gotta make it right Ill be that guy Its easy to be that young fly niggaBut what the price of a mind I stole time with a rhyme This was the plot when i just a thoughtA dream to a seedI shouldn't have heard it before i was birthed But God works in mysterious waysIm richer than a six figure making minimum wage Whos really winning the gameYea Now Niggas slip up and tumble but ive come too farCant fight my fear off i gotta keep my love close byThats all i know Thats all i

I got this wrk i gotta move it Shit aint a 9 -5 no more I cant complain im tired of slaving for these white folk I pen my life like a bible I write my destiny I got my jesus piece Before my rent was paid Im taking chances like i planned it Forget my manners when im ranting Cause heavy damage To spoiled bitches thinking im gone pamper I dont cosby em I put that shit in my wrk  No wonder niggas sleeping when they hear at me first Shit got me tripping got me questioning my worth  Dont bump my shit if you aint in yo feelings  This shit heartbroken Worded like it spoken Smoking out the focus Smoking out to focus This remy brought me right back Ratchet grab me a fatty Thickems show me some love I like sumn to tugIf im in the womb When im in the mood I can make the moon blue And paint it red when the clip boom With the mask looking like doom The beat go dummy if i write to em I humble myself when i smoke to em I let em run before i hunt for em This shit is fun for me This shit was cool but now its all gory Like fuck the shit you niggas bopping wit Im balling like iverson Fuck you questioning for i answered already My hand was twitching tripping for a instrumental You niggas freestyling over the stencil It just not sensible to me I keep it pivotal for free This shit gettting taxed soon Unh

about

Nowadays seeing someone die is like checking the weather. Its ugly outside. I feel like we forgetting the worth. Ain't no way to replace that body. We keep it moving like we ain't got a million other things on our heads. Thats why I move the way I move. I got no Ill will for another man. Bless
