Pharaohs
Sippin'
I'm leaning
These drugs fight my demons
The devil work double time, damn
Itchin',
I'm fiendin'
For fame & what's coming
Put bands all up in my hand
Swear I can handle it mama
Like the first time I rode a pedal bike
The first time I metaphor-ed a mic
Metaphoric Mike Jordan
Back when Gil Zero was important
I'm pouring malt liquor on the curb
For niggas that got what they didn't deserve
Swerved & crash
You ain't Dame Dash
You can't make it back,
You can't make it last
I'm pouring hard liquor on the curb
For niggas with dreams deferred
Whose bright futures
Only furnished free-falls
Cause FAFSA never financed shit
Crack rock in an ankle sock
Looking at the cop
Like where the fuck you find this
Cause pharaohs were never supposed to find bricks
And when you have nothing
How do you define risks
Wrist, wrist, wrist, wrist
My mama gon be pissed
But it was either
Be piss poor, pissed off, or make more
So I made my decisions
I just pray the Lord forgiving
Honestly admitting
I had righteous intentions
Robin Hood convictions
Trapped up in the system
Cause the school systems ain't listen
Pharaohs were never supposed to find prisons
They'd rather me
Leap ledge
Than leap ahead
Heath Ledge
The situation
Cause I was born black
So you can hear the complications in their conversations
Condemnation dripping off lips like condensation
I'm leaning
These drugs fight my demons
The devil work double time, damn
Itchin',
I'm fiendin'
For fame & what's coming
Put bands all up in my hand
Swear I can handle it mama
Like the first time I rode a pedal bike
The first time I metaphor-ed a mic
Metaphoric Mike Jordan
Back when Gil Zero was important
I'm pouring malt liquor on the curb
For niggas that got what they didn't deserve
Swerved & crash
You ain't Dame Dash
You can't make it back,
You can't make it last
I'm pouring hard liquor on the curb
For niggas with dreams deferred
Whose bright futures
Only furnished free-falls
Cause FAFSA never financed shit
Crack rock in an ankle sock
Looking at the cop
Like where the fuck you find this
Cause pharaohs were never supposed to find bricks
And when you have nothing
How do you define risks
Wrist, wrist, wrist, wrist
My mama gon be pissed
But it was either
Be piss poor, pissed off, or make more
So I made my decisions
I just pray the Lord forgiving
Honestly admitting

Trapped up in the system
Cause the school systems ain't listen

Heath Ledge
The situation
Cause I was born black
So you can hear the complications in their conversations
Condemnation dripping off lips like condensation
