Shake 'Em Off (feat. Young Vasi)

My Mama told me head above the water.
You go and test your luck in death before dishonor.
I got to stay alive for my son and daughter.
The Devil is alive and I can take no offer. (Oh No)
But the Devil closer than you know know (Mmm Hmm)
And I'm Shake 'Em Off with the shoulder row. (Oh No)
But the Devil closer than you know know (Mmm Hmm)
And I'm Shake 'Em Off with the shoulder row. (Oh Nah)

Hey little daddy, you're young and you act wild.
Growing up in poverty has made you a stepchild.
Guns made you strong while drugs made you hostile
But I'm a different breed, I know when to buck wild!
Discipline is everything, listen to my speech.
Learn to close your yap when you blend with the sheeps.
Only show your teeth when you ready to eat
and a wolf may cry when the moon face the east.
And a wolf may die if he heads for a peak.
Cause ain't no time out when it comes to the streets!
It ain't a pretty sight when God falls asleep,
nobody hears you when you're wrapped in them sheets.
You can talk all you want, you threat you're deceased,
and you can share the pain when you boiled in the grease.
They said I rap Gangsta but that's my reality,
don't make a threat when your screwface is eyeing me!

My Mama told me head above the water.
You go and test your luck in death before dishonor.
I got to stay alive for my son and daughter.
The Devil is alive and I can take no offer. (Oh No)
But the Devil closer than you know know (Mmm Hmm)
And I'm Shake 'Em Off with the shoulder row. (Oh No)
But the Devil closer than you know know (Mmm Hmm)
And I'm Shake 'Em Off with the shoulder row. (Oh Nah)

The Grim reaper awaits to dig deeper,
chills down the spine like a page from a beeper.
Fear is the virus that evolves from the either.
Swallow you whole when you know you can't beat her.
She told she won when she said you can see her.
Looking in the candle as it melts by the meters.
Time running out as she laughs as she greets you.
Then leaves you in the dark until the loneliness eats you.
Alive, like a plate of an uncooked creature.
Knowledge is the keeper of the one who seeks her.
The more you ignore the more she defeats you.
Beat you till your soul is as pale as a preacher.
When caught in the back of an alley smoking refer.
How you save a fool if you can't save the teacher?
Questions will come and they may just go
Just remember, that fear will always await at the door.(Fear)

They can't keep up the pace is impeccable,
wordplay is sick you need to eat your vegetables
Can't fight the powers when you're wasting your testicles,
The ones that are unseen and the ones that are visual.
Miss rule of their own biblical.
But the ridicule the inner you,
what if God took a rib from a nigga mule,
Would that explains why We work harder than the rest of you,
it's pitiful!
