[ Featuring Ransom ]
Yeah, came a long way from that corner stoop
Some sunflower seeds, a bag of chips and a quart of juice
Was too knuckle-headed to call it true
So we all in boots, black champion hoodies
Stacks hand me that fully-proof
Damn, the mistakes you make when you full of youth
But time gives you wisdom, like pain you feel when you pull your tooth
What makes you kill when you pull and shoot?
Can't take the guilt, so you put to use any bull excuse
I know I'm just like you, a tough, spiteful
I hurt my mama just like you
I sat in front your honor and lied, cause I'm just like you
You know, tough, prideful, full of revenge
A rough cycle make you clutch Bibles
Man, f*ck Michael
I couldn't afford a sneaker, I bought a beeper
666 was the code to use when you call a reaper
Kids skipping class, you making threats to your daughter's teacher
Nigga that had a clutch on his Jesus piece and ignored a preacher
Yeah, no more saying that we in hell
My man just came home, got his hands on his CDL
Took pictures of inside so his family could see his cell
To fans they could see themselves,
Let Randy just read the Braille
Yeah, some revelers see me well
This world is full of snakes and devils, so we rebel
Meanwhile, your favorite rapper just scheduled a BBL
No tea to tell, we gon' mind our business so we excel
We gon' mind our business so we excel 23-hour lockup, one hour praying for mail
Unless my daughter's playing, I'm never painting my nails
If heaven up on the roof, then I guess the basement was hell
Oh well, I'm such an artist, these pictures I paint them well
Reminiscing on hustling, so proud when I made a sale
Ironically, the people that feel me don't play with Braille
The economy is so f*cked up, niggas risking they self
Feel like witchcraft is present, nobody breaking that spell
Don't come around me joking cause I ain't no Dave Chappelle
Trying to inquire, enough product to break a scale
In the ocean, I never seen sharks lay up with whales
Burried her oldest child and she ain't been taking it well
They got her taking in drugs, you pass your heart around
They feel like they taking your love, seen blood stain up the mud
DNA mixed with dirt, first class, flight up above, nigga
Smoking on the strand, I got my fingers stuck
Back and forth, thinking how Venus helped get Serena tough
It's hard to raise a big dog if you don't feed the pups
I'm ET with the glow, I light up everything I touch
Racketeer influence, corrupted organizations
Ducking a Rico charge with no statute of limitations
I deserve a statue, my face on the front of pages
Before I heard of a Mason, it was McGruff and Mason
It was Lamont and Cameron, the attitude that came with white girl
Never was Karen, Stingy never was Sharon
Ramadan Mubarak, salaam alaikum habibi
It's good to see your face again on the battlefield
Sometimes this life feel like a ferris wheel
A gentleman salute to those who tarry still
Witness the testimony of those in the throes of the fire
Burning hearts of desire, reaching for something higher
Fallen angels living on the wire
In the army of the Lord, singing songs of the Messiah
I was raised in an old church where the preacher preached judgment
The nation of Islam taught that Mystery Babylon was America
And the law had returned for the destruction of the governments
For we the lost children of Israel, descendants of the covenant
Here you go again with some Muslim raps about the mothership
And how the Christ with the permission of the Mahdi is who govern it
I'm eyeball deep in this holy wall and I'm loving it
Still ain't got nothing for Delilus but a hard dick and double mint
Still got nothing but love for the jealous haters who covered it
Still got to sit with Big John and negotiate this publishing
While I'm out with Rory, stumbling, drunk and doubling
Holding the game for ransom, the God that's my brethren
