[Intro] (Thank you, Reese) Yeah Real shit Yeah [Verse 1] In the kitchen on the stove, let me cook Rest in peace Bill Withers, nigga, fuck a hook You wanna hide something from us, put it in a book But now we got 'em shook, we ain't dumb as we look They took the education out the prison and the weights 'Cause when you liberate, you don't make the same mistake Gave the government they crack back, I'm done with the bait My niggas moving weight, Js fighting over shake Uncle tried to stop drinking, now he living with the shakes Fighting off my tears, trying to keep a poker face My nigga hit a blunt, he ain't know that shit was laced He done lost his fucking mind, now he got a murder case And Hope's son died, can't imagine how he feel On the front porch in Philly with a face full of tears When he broke the news to me, swear to God, I got chills What the fuck I'm 'posed to tell him knowing mine at the crib? (I love you, daddy) Say some bullshit like, "Everything gon' be fine now" Knowing that it ain't, that's why I'm riding with my nine out I can see the hate clear as day, let me find out They running out of plays, now they tryna call a timeout Corona taking over, planting fear up in our mind now Niggas act retarded 'til somebody blow they mind out Really from that gutter, niggas hate the day I climbed out I was being patient, God told me it's my time now Yeah [Interlude] Where are you, daddy? I'm in the studio right now Real shit I don't— I don't even need no hook for this shit, you know what I'm saying? This shit just pain, you know? (Real shit) Exhibit Q shit Yeah Ayy Yeah [Verse 2] Never thought that I'd apply for nine-to-fives, man No, it ain't easy to replace me if I died I don't side with no religion that be god-fearing Like, who gon' save us if we all villains? But still filling the cup Got mine spilling, they don't tell you enough My hand good, I been calling some bluffs I brought a set of some gloves But they still know that it's love Crazy times It's hard enough convincing the judge and paying fines But I got me and mines, I get overly protective I never count on 12, they may kill who they should help Need that same six feet from them too Tell the truth and bring proof Ain't my brother 'less we from the same roof I see youths in this separation Give you time to reminisce on why you dedicated I'm finding ways to change my life inside this meditation I found a stage to make a way up out my situation Therefore, I could never hate Just thanking God for all his grace I try to keep that in your face We been booming out of state With everything, I got to give it, when you did it, maybe then you can relate You need patience, you need faith Find your pace and make a space Just try and make it home safe Even if you came late, ayy Shit, you still got invited It be timing, you need that to find [Bridge] Life just ain't that long (You know tomorrow ain't never promised) I live so irresponsibly (It's like I just gotta do better) I'd be blessed to make it home (Shit, I hope I get there) Still pray before I fall asleep (Every night) Oh, yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Uh) [Outro] Congratulations on your new album, I love you, daddy I love you too
