[length: 04:02]
[00:23.33]It’s like you’re testing me now
[00:26.53]This my testimony, look I got that recipe now
[00:28.71]Keep that good book on the dash with that weaponry out
[00:31.69]Ain’t no mo’ rules in this game plus no referees out
[00:34.87]All that stressing, it taught me lessons
[00:37.06]Caught blessings, went back to stressin’
[00:38.34]And that moment when death is present
[00:41.01]Had me praying and asking questions
[00:42.37]I had no answers so I had to bottle up that aggression
[00:43.72]Load up them hollows and I had to follow in my direction
[00:46.63]Don’t know where I’m headed
[00:48.55]I can’t look back though, there’s nothing there
[00:50.15]But backstabbers, snakes that slither, decisions when nothing’s fair
[00:53.02]Keeping my faith in all, even if they come take it all
[00:56.35]Stand on my ground, I was born to fight so I’m taking off
[00:59.28]Me and my champs on a mission, work with the baddest intention
[01:03.73]Sharp as a scalpel incision
[01:05.16]Gotta survive these condition, vengeance is like a tradition
[01:08.56]If you practice what you’re preaching might just get what you wish
[01:10.80]Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that
[01:15.03]Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that
[01:22.56]I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire
[01:26.57]I’m looking at these tennis shoes over the wire
[01:32.46]But no change coming
[01:36.17]Now we have to get whatever we after
[01:39.01]See past the regular shit that we master
[01:41.57]Learn to survive through love and Jezebels and street pastors
[01:44.74]Live as free as we can cause Hell on Earth is being recaptured
[01:47.90]I’m caught in this ghetto rapture, spirit detached
[01:50.58]I’m smoking backwoods looking for greener pastures
[01:53.86]Hashtag we bastards, from money change to snowflakes
[01:56.72]The body found, a cold case, we making it out from no place
[02:00.21]Now can you walk in these shoes with no lace?
[02:02.65]Or push that S5-50 on shoes with no plates? I don’t think so
[02:06.01]Shit is insufficient when you think slow
[02:09.57]That’s why I keep one foot in the game like a flamingo
[02:11.72]But here’s the thing though, picking my spots yelling, “bingo”
[02:15.47]Post it with the work, 501’s with the peacoat
[02:17.88]This ain’t no New Jack City and I ain’t Nino
[02:21.09]Wondering if change gone come, but we gone see though
[02:24.07]Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that
[02:28.51]Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that
[02:33.14]I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire
[02:37.92]I’m looking at these tennis shoes over the wire
[02:44.32]But no change coming
[02:46.28]Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that
[02:52.90]Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that
[02:59.36]I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire
[03:02.55]I’m looking at these tennis shoes over the wire
[03:08.96]But no change coming
