Sunrize
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 a truce, so we all in boots
Black Champion hoodie, 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 touch 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, fuck Michael
I couldn't afford a sneaker, I bought a beeper
666 was the code to use when you call a reaper
Kids skippin' class, you making threats to your daughter's teacher
Nigga that'll a clutch on his Jesus piece and ignore the 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 can see his cell
The fans, they could see themselves, let Randy just read the braille
Yeah, some revel and see me well
This world is full of snakes and devils, so we rebel
Meanwhile, your favorite rapper just scheduled a BBL
No teeter tell, we gon' mind our business so we excel
Look, we gon' mind our business so we excel
Twenty-three hour lock up, one hour praying for mail
Unless my daughters playing, I'm never paintin' my nails
If heaven up on the roof, then I guess the basement was hell, oh well
I'm such a artist, these pictures, I paint 'em well
Reminiscing on hustlin' so proud when I made a sale
Ironically, the people that feel me don't play with braille
The economy is so fucked up, niggas riskin' 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
Bury the oldest child and she ain't been takin' it well
They got her takin' in drugs
You pass your heart around, it feel like they taking your love
Seen blood stain up the mud
DNA mixed with dirt, first class flight up above, nigga
Smokin' on the Strand that got my fingers stuck
Back and forth, thinkin' how Venus helped get Serena tough
It's hard to raise a big dog if you don't feed the pups
I'm E.T. with the glow, I light up everything I touch
Racketeer influence, corrupted organizations
Duckin' the 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 carin'
Stingy, never was sharin'
Ramadan mubarak, as-salāmu alaykum
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 droves 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 Allah had returned for the destruction of the governments
For we the lost children of Israel, descendants of the covenant
Here he go again with some Muslim raps 'bout the mothership
And how the Christ with the permission of the Mahdi is who govern it
I'm eyeball deep in this holy war and I'm lovin' it
Still ain't got nothing for Delilahs but hard dick and Doublemint
Still got nothin' but love for the jealous haters who covet it
Still gotta sit with Big John and negotiate this publishing
Wildin' out with Rory, stumblin' drunk in Dublin
Holdin' the game for ransom, the God, that's my brethren
