Elohim

Hustling was my crutch
Had me disabled
Future was unstable
Powder on the table
We used to steal cable
My family enabled
We took the unpaved route
I'm wondering if they knew
Doing the same thing
Expecting change
That's insane
To drive the range
I was deranged out of my brain
I poisoned veins to sustain
Had to be vain
I refused to be broke
I need a break through
Memories vivid
As some niggas held triggers
Point blank to my face
Asking where's the safe
As
Biggie
Smalls
Played
For my downfall, they prayed
I swear that was the fall from grace
And that day
I didn't fold, didn't shake
Didn't bend, didn't break
Most would defecate
I stared death in the face
On the floor as we laid
Zip tied and taped
Who sent these jack boys
To our place
To think
Niggas will kill their own cousins
For the purses
These urges
I never read the bible
Or been to churches
No service
I'm surfing these crime waves
In surges
Submerged and yet I surfaced
Knowing I got a purpose
But when your circumstance
A circus
My best friend murdered
Someone at seventeen
That changed his trajectory
Sent to prison as a teen
How's he supposed to be
A man
But that's not what he sees
It took seeds
To really make him plant his feet
Tears roll when we speak
Simply, for the fact he's free
And at peace
He choose to leave
Up out the ghetto
To me that's most thorough
Niggas dying under street signs
But ain't never leave the borough
I purify the air though
I'm moving like I'm
Eros
The villains were our hero's
And that'll get us zero
We should idealize our heroines
They named a drug heroin
You think that's a coincidence
Nigga
Zero in
It's in your roots for you to lose
That's the type of shit they stew
See to them it's never old
But to us we never knew
Take an inner city school
Remove a parent from the roof
Starve a childhood of his time
Then feed him lies
Just like it's food
Import a gun, give him a nine
Give him time, make it cool
Let him shoot, send him to jail
And
That's how they recruit
You

Black and brown youth
Slave labor in a prison
That's a business that booms
To understand that
That's to understand truth
They'll give you awards
To go to war
And kill some dudes
You ain't knew
They drop bombs and then food
They probably poison that too
Learn to channel your aggression
As you step out your shoes
Just know that some
Would accept oppression
Even if their ass knew
In plain view it's hard to hide
Shits like the dark side
Of the moon
Think a river, make it a mirror
Then reflect on your moves
The
Elohim
The living
God
Is You
It's true
One time for all my roses
Out the concrete that grew
I'd rather fish for information
Than put hooks in my tunes
Essentially when you're essential
You could do what you do
Independence, that's a blessing
I ain't confined by no rules
We need the contracts new
The shit that
Kanye spewed
You call me crazy
But you paying me
I ain't shining no shoes
Check out my timing with tunes
I hope you're mining these jewels
The
Elohim
The living
God
Is
You
It's true
