lyrics

Jesus gave sight to the blind
This an impossible view
You can't walk in my shoes
Call this therapy

Victim of poverty
Prosperity gospel
Niggas be sticking to robbery
Cost of living colossal
Yo these christians they bother me
Talking about the father
They be giving me problems
Cause I call em on they gossip
I service my community
Got these jakes chasing me
Check your contacts
That's how conversations be
Got the late text
Excited fatherhood facing me
Complicated pregnancy
My baby lost the baby
Joke about taking lives
Til the almighty taking mine
Now I gotta wait in line
Don't look at me my face is fine
Saying lines same time
Questioning faith I find
Is this my fault from crimes
When I was spraying 9s
Forgiveness worth it
If I stay the bitter person
Missing my mom
And all of this shit emerging
Clinching my palms
Give salaams
To the jinn and serpents
Self sabotage
I'm going against my purpose
Full speed into a wall
Going against inertia
Tough to finish these rhymes
My fucking heart is hurting

I been fighting all my life
I just wanna exist
These handcuffs hurt officer
I'm gonna resist
I ain't begging you to keep your knee
From under my ribs
If it's you or me
You ain't going home to none of your kids
I'd rather be a martyr
Than face a bunch of charges
I'll lead a revolution
Fuck your racist son and daughter
14 Nights of nightmares
I ain't sleeping a wink
I bit my tongue in dream
Spitting blood in the sink
Seen my girl die giving birth to my child
She alive when I wake
It still hurt me to smile
I'm thankful for my past
Cause It show me what my purpose is
2020 Put a nigga back up on some murder shit
Performing ain't practical
Covid forming is tactical
Crackas call me radical
While they storming the capital
They got the right idea
You know my fight right here
You my oppressor when I want freedom
The same man that killed Nipsey
Want us to free him
I'll be honest I quit counting the bars
Cause as long as when you hear it
It gon sound like it's raw
Give it a round of applause
Broke hope floats
And you can keep your head up
Or you can drown in the sauce
Ugh my last album my first album in a decade
It raised my salary
Without a single record played
Here on my own accord
I put my life on the line
I need a bonus score
Solid as a stone in sword
Ugh I got receipts can you show me yours?
Nah I don't smoke give my opponents more
Hold up

I got these racists in a telescope
The neighbours think I'm selling dope
They don't know if a nigga famous or living well and broke
I guess I made it to these jealous folks
I guess I made it to these jealous folks
