Swing Low

Lyrics

[Verse] The star spangled banner ain't shinin' no more Like the pistol the cop was holdin' outside my car door And we all know if I was cornered at the corner store I'd be standin' with hands up before they knock me to the floor Now I ain't never had to deal with the press before If they pressed to keep us suppressed then what am I pressed for I got people trynna dead me for what I would die for Taking away from the fact that I can still give more I said the star spangled banner ain't shinin' no more If they can enslave you mentally they can enslave plenty more And many black men don't even make it to see 24 But I'm hittin' like Ali swingin' on Foreman yeah you know [Hook] I'm starting to think that this is just how life goes Adolescent fantasies had to turn 'em all to real life goals And hoes stay trynna stop me now like they really not on go Thinkin' everything gucci now that we finally back on road My old heads taught me All these joints be trappin' Pistols cappin' niggas Speak your peace but if you show that piece you better pull the trigger People only see what they can get so see the bigger picture Go and give me five, after that just save some more you might get richer Aye [Verse] Prior to this I was seen as a nigga who never could have what he lost Never ashamed of the progress I gained now they -ooping my name like a toss Up in the air like I'm Jordan with two Kenny jets on the wing no exhaust Waiting been waiting so patiently Worked for the man and now I am the boss I am the first not the last and I promise that I'm a go finish the task of becoming the greatest out People won't hear me out til I go ghost like 180 on dash Startin' to think that this how life goes for the kid Wait 'til a nigga Smalls go and get BIG aye [Tezo] Militant minded, there is nobody else like us see my future bright as ever you would think that I'm a psychic I see, heart in all this Loving has been departed I'll put a bullseye on your head I'll hit the center of the target And, if we talking about perfect then I'm the farthest and the darkest but out all these little niggas in this shit I work the hardest Say, wisdom been obtained so therefore I do it smartest I don't gotta talk, I let my wraps tell ya why I'm not an average artist I've been starving stomach looking like Marvin These words only cut so deep but overtime they get the carving Baby girl I'm on a mission I can't give my one hundred percent attention If you ain't getting me paid, why would I put you in my business That and, feelings is really not a good mixture Trynna put you on, but now I'm done putting up with you I don't understand the concept of you arguing with me Fucking with everybody else when I'm all that you need can you see, uh [Hook] I'm starting to think that this is just how life goes Adolescent fantasies had to turn 'em all to real life goals And hoes stay trynna stop me now like they really not on go Thinkin' everything gucci now that we finally back on road My old heads taught me All these joints be trappin' Pistols cappin' niggas Speak your peace but if you show that piece you better pull the trigger People only see what they can get so see the bigger picture Go and give me five, after that just save some more you might get richer Aye [Verse] I done came through nicks and crannies I done walked some hidden valleys I done had some people spoon feed knowledge throwing pitch forks at me Puff they passin' on my mattress Blowin' up you blow like ashes All the hits I make are Cassius All the hits I make are Cassius
