Barring the Likeness

Lyrics

[Chorus] Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous [Verse 1] There was a time when I wasn't doing it right Glued to the night moving to fight On it truly in your sight A bitch came off his sage for the bite Remorse is true, lost a few Price of the game Warcries, .45's, lives in the drain [Chorus] Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous [Verse 2] Did dirt that won't wash away Most say your soul pay when your carcass lay Discerning man in burning land where monsters play As a cub full of love, now my heart decay Base hard, now I face God to pray Outrun a case, our mistakes hard to say Ancient book, Got 'em shook 'till modern day Feel threat, pirouette, keep squads at bay The hovering love scent helps us do a crime Did thing like ring, protect self all times Lost my innocence On a porch in tenements Dingy stingy My thoughts was generous The pen is rich Defend longtime friends No shorts for nemesis Lawyers is snakes Courts is venomous A sketch is spun for the precious young Adjust they mind, tell them justice blind, deaf and dumb Blessings come, school daughters protect your son Wisdom spread, give 'em bread, I was never left a crumb [Chorus] Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous [Verse 3] Don't gauge success by the movement of wealth Fuck bank B, thank me by improving yourself Had plenty fights, many nights Ruger with stealth On wicked blocks, lickin' shots, removing your health Was living differently 'till had epiphany One fast death One last breath Still a victory From entrance my sense is razor sharp I rise and shine, wisest mind, bravest heart My behavior tho' boom boom ravenous spark Waved the dart at your favorite part Effortless till specialist raised my chart Foul child with wild style, can't cage the art [Chorus] Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous [Verse 4] A crazy strip based me quick Still official, bear with you, each page a brick Heat lift you, peace be with you, gauge the grip Chicks diss you 'till chips get you amazing dip In God we trust for jars of dust Laws we crush, for cars we lust Case the purchase, cracks to flip Lazy workers caught the whip During time I was trying to emerge in the slum You could find me bagging Adam's murderous son Grind to fame Automatics, no time to aim Almost fucked my life up trying to abstain [Chorus] Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous Barring the likeness It's hard to live righteous [Verse 1] There was a time when I wasn't doing it right Glued to the night moving to fight On it truly in your sight A bitch came off his sage for the bite Remorse is true, lost a few Price of the game Warcries, .45's, lives in the drain [Outro] "... The only thing that mattered was the attack, attack, attack at all cost. And the attacker was the great warrior of the night in the shining armor and so on. Defensive moves were considered cowardly..."
