Fame & Foes

Life bigger than the block
Bigger than the corner store
Bigger than a glock
Bigger than that joint you roll
Bigger than a thot
Bigger than chasing hos
Bigger than the clout
Bigger than fame and foes

Life bigger than the block
Bigger than the corner store
Bigger than a glock
Bigger than that joint you roll
Bigger than a thot
Bigger than chasing hos
Bigger than the clout
Bigger than fame and foes

Really came from the dirt know the pain and it hurts
Identity crisis trapped in the bottom of bottles
Looking in broken mirror screen seen fraction of my former self
Caught a couple stars falling out the constellations but I didn't make a wish
Just charge it to the game move in silence
Panoramic a pantomime paraphrase a pair of lines paracell the pen gone glide
Smoother than peanut butter never had a silver spoon we grew up in the struggle
Where niggas love a block that don't love em
Damn
The good die young government corrupt
Dead roses in the back seat the back seat
Home of the brave but the land ain't free it ain't free
Paid my dues on the southside warm days cold nights
Not a dollar to my name
Thunderstorm outside I was standing in the rain
Asking God to guide my soul you don't know about the pain
Half the shit I seen in my life will drive a man insane
True story if I wrote it
Yah first you can quote it
Thorough never folded
Lion heart I'm the boldest
Crack the skull of a serpent live by the warriors code
Keep them squares out ya circle like PlayStation controllers
Tunnel vision on the dash board dunking on my dreams if this mic was backboard
Nothing but net 4th quarter off the bench ima earn my respect
Overtime on this grind like the watch on ya wrist
Can never let em box me in I'm to blessed for that
I know its angles all around and they got my back
I know its angles all around and they got my back

Life bigger than the block
Bigger than the corner store
Bigger than a glock
Bigger than that joint you roll
Bigger than a thot
Bigger than chasing hos
Bigger than the clout
Bigger than fame and foes

Back on my 10 fuck how you feel my grandparents worked in a field
Slavery wasn't far away
Know that trauma run through my veins
I can see through the mental chains
Willie lynch and self hate
Hogged tied to section 8
Hell in a cell
We was all miseducated broken lost and devastated
Should have stayed in segregation only caused more separation
They gone color outside the lines and say a nigga just race baiting
And Ima draw em back to the bible Psalms 83 verse 4
Our history book don't lie these devils gone get exposed tried to cut us off
From being a nation think we don't know 40 acres and a mule
Tell em run it back 10 fold
All my life I seen my people struggle nigga that's to long
We was innovators doctors scientist mathematicians
Natural born geniuses with hustle and ambition
Royalty
Nobility
Integrity
Kings and Queens
Israel we fell out grace with the most high Yah
Celebrating heathen practices worshiping false gods
Read the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28
Beginning to end Im talking page to page with no slack of hand
Gotta repent for your sins keep his laws statues and commandments
If you ever want to live again first gotta wake up in the last days
Money cars clothes and hos will never heal the pain
Black on black crime only lead us to the grave
Smoking heavy drinking heavy ruining our brains
I am my brothers keeper put it on the front page
Freedom is a state of mind its time to break the mental chain

Life bigger than the block
Bigger than the corner store
Bigger than a glock
Bigger than that joint you roll
Bigger than a thot
Bigger than chasing hos
Bigger than the clout
Bigger than fame and foes
