Wolf in Sheep's Clothes

Can't count on weather
Can't count on people
But I can count this money
Root of all evil
They never love you back, yeah
You know how the streets go
The devil is alive
It's the wolf in sheep's clothes
Can't count on weather
Can't count on people
But I can count this money
Root of all evil
They never love you back, yeah
You know how the streets go
The devil is alive
It's the wolf in sheep's clothes

Getting woken up at 5 a.m
Warm blanket on my skin
Mama do what she gotta do
No other option
My father left the crib, so
Ain't no babysitter
Single mother working full time
Take me to work with her
Lay me on the conference room floor so I can sleep
Gave me a pillow and a blanket
Told me "baby count your sheep"
Maybe that's why till this day
I can never fall sleep
They murdered my cousin Israel
Papito, Rest In Peace
When my grandfather died
My mother cried to me
Said she felt all alone...
I had a lot of vices, I ain't like where it took me
If I turned my life around, would they do me like I'm Tookie?
Met an angel who can keep me off of the depressants
I still got some demons, hoping she don't second guess this
I'm always on the run, I'm always on the move
And if I ever fall in love, I bet that bitch be the truth
Like what

Can't count on weather
Can't count on people
But I can count this money
Root of all evil
They never love you back, yeah
You know how the streets go
The devil is alive
It's the wolf in sheep's clothes
Can't count on weather
Can't count on people
But I can count this money
Root of all evil
They never love you back, yeah
You know how the streets go
The devil is alive
It's the wolf in sheep's clothes

I pray to God that he lay his hand upon us
Been alone for too long staring at 4 corners
My family never really had the best luck
I did my homework with no lights for a month
We ain't have much, and we barely had each other
Music my peace of my mind and I doubt I'll find another
Started to feel like I would never find a way
Find an escape, feeling like I'm dying every day
Made that move to NY, hoping time would fly by, I'm tired
Went to school for music, thought I'd set the world on fire
Hurricane Sandy hit the coast, I'm far from home
Once again I'm in the dark, once again I'm all alone
Dropped Fuck ICE and i finally spoke about it
I put on for my dawgs and my people who felt silent
May we all live long and our parent living lavish
For you I would die, I bleed on this canvas

Can't count on weather
Can't count on people
But I can count this money
Root of all evil
They never love you back, yeah
You know how the streets go
The devil is alive
It's the wolf in sheep's clothes
Can't count on weather
Can't count on people
But I can count this money
Root of all evil
They never love you back, yeah
You know how the streets go
The devil is alive
It's the wolf in sheep's clothes
