Stay Committed

I stayed down, and always repented
For the sins that i just committed.
And if i start something, best believe im gone finish.
I might losing but in the end I'll be winning.
I just gotta stay committed.

You ever ran a mile until ya feet hurt?
Or try a new drug out without doing some research?
And God said "
The meek inherits the Earth",
but at the same time niggas getting buried in church.
We in the same line but I ain't sharing the work,
and i cant serve ya cause u wearing a skirt, cause u a jealous nigga.
That long distance shit never work,
because she tell you that her phone never work, well email a nigga.
And scents are tied to emotions, but what's a simple tide to a ocean?
Somebody tell a nigga.
They say the #9 is the potion,
but not for love so who done gave you that notion?
And so I'm telling niggas.
The situation stickier than Velcro,
in the hood you earn stripes and I ain't talking about shell toes.
If you shoot to kill, gotta keep a steady elbow,
and if the devil ask you for your soul, tell that nigga hell no.

They say pain is harder then pressure,
my dresser is full of them lighters.
A professor up on these beats, I'm teaching survival.
No confession inside the pews, the streets are the bible.
My profession never confused I'm trained with a rifle.

And now I see the light through a different spectrum.
And there ones who stole from me---
I forgive em, They ain't no better.
All the ones that keep it real, end up on a stretcher.
I'm up against all odds, I'm looking for a better...
day.

But the way into a heart just follow the mind,
and way into the dark just follow the blind.
Commercialized art will follow the times,
to the ruins and Noah's ark is definitely mine.

Subliminal thoughts, there is no path to it.
I find a sad movie just to laugh to it.
Life is all science and some math to it.
I gotta clean up my act, I hope a bath do it.
