Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shabb] I went through nightmares, and scary episodes I spent the light years smokin' dope at home Reflectin' light, mirrors on broken stove I was right there when they— I was right there when they buried bro Slime world forever, keep it dirty nose When I leave the globe, picture me in all designer clothes Picture me laying down with a line of hoes Screamin', "Adiós," they gon' forever rep my name in the body, oh Twelve lookin' at me like I hold a John Gotti [robe/rope?][0:46?] Grindin' for this paper like— runnin' with no cardio Got my hands on a few bricks like Spider-Man My shooters ask twice like Pfizer plan Been a student of this game, I kept a rising hand Never left school without my vitamins We did it by our own bloodshed and tears I was all alone, I was never scared We was roamin' in the darkness, lookin' for a flare This shit hard to get over, like an older fear Nigga took a hit in his girlfriend Cartiers Drop 50 like I'm in my Vince Carter years I'm Tracy on L.A. game, all backboards, I bring my A-game I bring my A-game, just to prove a point [Verse 2: Navy Blue] Whichever way the scales shift, the cripple's where the tail ends Lift the veil and get the fuck out, if it isn't now, then where, when? Karma is a well, you fucked around and fell in, you held the hand and heard the death whisper The loneliness atone, but when it roam, you gotta wrong right Nigga try and bargain with his own life It get risky, tryna roll the dice, take a chance On my Nicolas Anelka, out in France, I'm on my Zinedine Niggas turn to me when they need answers I grieve my baba on some Black Panther Every night, I find a light that casts a shadow on my grandeur Bodies swingin' in the gallows, walk on water when it's shallow Who will lead and who will follow, like, Moses with the cattle, niggas slither, I could hear 'em rattle, uh Tony Parker how I'm sortin' these assists And when they hit, it'll bang instead of flames from my wits Nigga, if they ever pitch, I'm gon' be swingin' for the stars Stacking brick after brick after brick, until the wall built Fall ill and recover, nigga, we've suffered, all in Can't fall in, I can't repeat nothin' Fall ill, recover, nigga, we suffered, all in I can't fall in, I can't repeat nothin' [Outro] Lord, if you can, save me from that man Don't let him make a pulp out of me But, the Lord, he was not quick The Lord raised up a stick and beat the living hell out of me And I didn't understand Why God don't protect a man from police brutality Being poor and Black, I have no weapon to strike back So who but the Lord can protect me? We'll see
