Convictions

They say money's the root of all evil
Somehow it became the roots to my people
Niggas dying 5 hundred deaths across a thousand miles
When I die
Shit I hope I get a sequel
I hit the blunt and let burn
This life ain't all it's worth
Stomach in knots
I need to better plot
Just to reap the rewards that I have earned
Mercy me mercy me
Say the world is yours
But I battle anxiety
Fear of internal wars
Few come a lot go
When it rains it pours
And in the pouring rain
You see you crave attention more
Looking at God like let's compromise
To find a peace of mind
Through these open eyes
Trying to vocalize the truth
And find the perfect picture
Is what finally lead the world to its dark demise

We don't know what this life will bring
But we hope that we will learn some things
We don't know what we're doing here
But we hope we leave a souvenir

Trapped in your mind are all the answers
If we unlocked that door
We'll find what matters
In a white mans world
A niggas always wrong
But a black man found the cure for cancer
Remember
Always stay on your toes
They yell freeze after the bullet bounced through your dome
Look at the culture that don't want peace from us
Guess nowadays a gun looks like a phone
Let me breath
Let me breath
That's what your mind says
Lord don't let them take my life
That's what your heart says
If we listen to consensus
When Obama got elected
You would see the biggest difference in the crime rates
We pass the test of time
Even with them feeding us their line
But they want us to conform
To a way that is their norm
Just because they hate our state of minds

We don't know what this life will bring
But we hope that we will learn some things
We don't know what we're doing here
But we hope we leave a souvenir

Uh
Yea
Yea
Damn
