Roar in Peace

I swear they shouldn't of let the beast out
Yeah they growling
But none of em' got they teeth out
They clout chasing but none of em' got they reach out
I might dip off go stay at Brian new beach house
Cause I see lies
In all the phrases they speak out
Used to be prosperous all ya actions is bleak now
They tryna win so they all running to me now
I need a percentage off the top like it's a freestyle
My niggas eating
We the belly of the beast now
Was on survivor but we made it to the feast now
These playas weak they played the game but want some cheats now
I'll take ya numbers off the board like it's a rebound
Let me introduce myself
My name Pharaoh Santana
The don dada, just Santana for short
My papa was a playa balling all on the court,
And my mama was a mermaid
Who swam up on the shores
Was in the bay making a killing but she was yearning for more
So she moved to LA
And started opening doors
He was just a dude from Compton
Who was rapping on beats
Who climed the ladder
Made it up
Whoever thought they would meet?
They formed a union
One transfusion and along
Came me
My mama gave birth to a dragon
I was born with my wings
Yeah I was born to go fly
Guess that's what I'm so fly
Couldn't teach you how to train me
I was born to surprise
Can feel the fire in my flesh
I got the flame in my eyes
It's exploding in my soul
Like when the planets collide
I guess,
When I got older had to learn to impress
Cause they said no World Peace
Unless you pass AR TEST
I think art tells the best story
That's why there's ink in my flesh
That's why I rap on these tracks
Until I run out of breath
Until I fall in exhaustion
Until my thoughts is forgotten
Ima grind till my coffin
Is dropped down to the bottom
But can I roar in peace?
Can I just write this poetry?
Nah I ain't tryna buy what's sold to me
Feel like my shadow want control of me

So can this dragon roar in peace?
Can I just write this poetry?
Nah I ain't tryna buy what's sold to me
Feel like me shadow want control of me
It's crazy how I went
From sitting in my room playing Spyro
To dropping moonlight
In the summer
And watching the numbers go viral
But that was nothing I need bigger
Never been one for rivals
Just wanna grow
Yeah that's my oath
Like my hand up on the Bible
Used to play twisted metal
And play Luther on vinyl
That feeling sunk into my skin
And put a glow through my vitals
This Life a system, make predictions
And you'll see it's a cycle
Like when you figure out a team
Down 3-1 in the finals
Still gon' strategize a win
Cause you was born for survival
But Great power
Comes to champions
Be careful with titles
I'll put my city on my back
And carry them forty miles
Or fourty thousand like I'm Moses
Me and my niggas real tribal
They tried to lock the gates to heaven but we breaking threw em'
I've learned it's the conscious
Not the body that really makes us human
You can't run from your past
No matter how elusive
I never run from the choir
I always face the music
So can I roar in peace?
Can I just write my poetry?
Nah I ain't tryna buy what's sold to me
Feel like my shadow want control of me
I said can this dragon roar in peace?
Can I just write my poetry?
Nah I ain't tryna buy what's sold to me
Feel like me shadow want control of me
