DEVOTION

(Bill Russell Speaking)
The winning is only important
If you beat the best
My friend
Wilt Norman Chamberlain
Was far away
The best player I've ever played against

Even tho' me and Satan sometimes
Face to Face
That's okay cause I'm gon' still sing
Amazing grace
Glory be to God like them old folks say
That's on God and oh my God
I feel amazing today
Even tho' I'm flying by the seat 'uh my pants
Like them old folks say
That's okay cause I get money I get paid this way
I get K's like the Klan
I'm the man
Go and tell Earth Wind and Fire
Ima' missing member
This ain't 'bout remembering September
Bitch I'm talk'n 'bout Devotion
You know this
How you think I came up wit all this amazing flow shit
I brought sand to the beach and water to the ocean
Niggas hate on me and they despise me cause I'm chosen
I know God gotta have a plan 'fa us
We shoulda seen the Pen
Like ink do
We was out here trip'n
Making noise like sum' Locusts
Clean Getaways but we was dirty pistol totin'
Yea, we done sum dirt but we been done dirty in worse ways
Smooth criminal
Go ask Annie if she
Okay
Yea
Go ask Annie nigga yea
Alotta niggas seen me down bad
Paying pennies to my plan
To proud to ask for hand outs Ima man
Why would I
Bring myself
To do that
When them niggas never offered they hand
Sum 'uh them niggas helped me
Helped me just enough to say they helped me
But they know that they ain't help
Like they would if it was them who needed help
Too many promises that wun' kept
To much love I can see that wasn't felt
But still my cards was my cards was my cards
And I never wished my cards was the cards that they was dealt
Glad to say I'm made that way
Proud to say I was raised that way
Humble enough to happily watch you grow while I melt
Strong enough to go down lonely roads by myself
Enough gangsta' in me
I gotta' enough gangsta' in me
For me to be okay wit this lil blood that's on my hands
I keep Jesus wit me, He put enough wisdom in me
For me to wash this blood off 'uh my hands

He was headed towards the promise land
He had plans to be a great man
Then reality had set in
Now he just a'notha black shape of a man
Living in a white mans world
Damn
Shackles on his waist
Blue bird first case
Going
Strait
To jail
He believed he can fly
Just like MJ
Took off from the free throw line

(Bill Russell Speaking)
Best player I've ever played against

Now it's J-pay for his birthday
Court dates and collect calls
Face to Face wit Satan
Still singing amazing Grace
Glory be to God like dem old folks say
I feel Amazing today
Even tho' I'm flyin' by the seat 'uh my pants
Like them old folks say
That's okay cause I get money
I get paid this way
I get K's like the clan
