PERFECT 9.

Lyrics

[Intro] Ayo- ayo, yes [?], can you bring me that [?], too Church on the move man, the tide done for sure came in Lot of us is thinking annoying shit Ay, man [Verse] Look, I was on that LAX tour in the Jay Rock van We jugged out Warner Brothers [?], way back when With the homies, so deep, one of us would have to sleep on the floor We did the game with less but we needed more, yo Me and Kenny was Johnny hypemen Sagging round the country to gather experience Met a brother with a lot of charisma Malcolm X chain, and fuzzy braids, I ain't even gotta say his name Just go and scroll through the hall of fame, ay Opening up for the big homie Game, I remember it like it was only yesterday Man, what a time to be alive Squad [?] up in the club, side by side A lot of kush, a lot of drink, a lot of fun, a lot of pranks The west was won once again, tough as it was, I ain't want it to end There was a particular incident I never forget, outside his RV puffing Newports He walked up like "Soul, on your set, you gotta quit it with them white man cigarettes" I chuckled a little bit, but he was serious "My n*gga, don't forget the mission that we on I really be listening to the shit you be kickin' You represent Long Term, that's a marathon So don't get it twisted, we on the same shit Might take 'em a minute, but they'll get it Look, stay on your path, cuz I know your sight ain't great, but they gon' see the vision 'Cause they need to, I believe in it, my n*gga Come fuck with us, soon as you finished with that cancer stick" I flicked it, then followed him on the bus, yah And with my third eye wide shut, I heard a familiar voice, like "Fuck where your hoes at, where your goals at? Where your backbone, n*gga, where your code at? Where your ground zero, real bros at? Where the privacy you tellin' them [?] at? Where your heart, n*gga? Where your soul at? We got old-school ways, you was never shown that Ain't no guarantees, you already know that N*ggas dying every day, just to reincarnate" I'm really on that [Outro] So if- so if that's the case, that means we never really- We never truly- we never truly die You know, the soul is forever, you know what I mean? You know, I spent a lot- I spent a lot of time in the rabbit hole, you know Juice, you know Go and, "Do What Thou Wilt", and shit, you know what I'm saying, I took that shit all the way to Cairo, you know what I mean? I ain't- I ain't on no, uh- you know, n*ggas calling me a satanist and shit, you know what I mean, and a- and a cultist, you know- I'm almost serving in God's army or something like that, you know what I'm saying? Like God ain't got me. Us, you know? For real And uh, that was a true story, really, um That was my first time meeting Hussle man You know, I call him, uh- I call him [?], you know what I mean, but uh The synchronicity with like, Long Term and, uh, Marathon Like he had all this shit all- already mapped out He had done his homework, all that, and, you know, shit was-shit was dope I asked my old lady, I said "Have- have I- have I ever said anything profound?" This' many years later, you know, obviously And uh, she said "No", I said "Damn, uh, well- Has anybody ever, like- has a rapper or artist said anything profound to you?" She said, uh, "Yeah", she said [?], she said, uh, "The highest human act is to inspire" Word, word
