Crime Pays

Pray the lords see my heart see my patience!
I done came across a lotta limitations
All these other n they just imitatin'
When your dreams come true who you gonna thank?
Always told me stay humble stay grounded
Never fold never forget why you started
Used to pray n like you
Never see the light or day
And if you put me on delay
You deserve a grave
You was messin' with a wave
I was tryin' to save
As soon as the crowd goes away then you get exposed!
You not the person that you came across or claim to be!
I pay homage to the people that inspire me
Throw dirt on the names of my enemies
I was taught you don't need a gun to kill a n
Use your mind analyse on his weakness
This is defence!
On some street shit
You thinks it's peaceful
Shit is lethal
And I don't expect you n to relate to Anythin'
I gotta say as a concept
But I know I paid the price for my content
And I know what it takes to make a dream work
They say it's team work
But they never Tell you money makes the dream work
And I'm sure as hell gettin' what I deserve
I done came out from a place
Where age 21 where you don't got a gun or a job then your dreams dead
Men I used to do it for the street cred but my n did for survival
For survival
Pray the lords see my heart see my patience!
I done came across a lotta limitations
All these other n they just imitatin'
When your dreams come true who you gonna thank?
Always told me stay humble stay grounded
Never fold never forget why you started
Avoid any n who worship and idolise you
Jealousy envy and greed
Coming in a form of let me advise you!
I seen to many n loose it over a situation
That could have been easily solved over a conversation
I Look back and to talk to my n about the
Consequences that lead to our failures and demolitions?
We just came to a conclusion that nothing was the same!
And I feel like certain things could work out
In the future if the was at least a little demonstration
Currency rand a piece of my soul is worth a fortune
Never fold you n impose
I'm like a ballerina
The way I stay on my toes
Trying to show that even from concrete
A flower grows
Even though I was down and below
I still stayed on my goals
My highs and my lows
My friends and my foes!
You don't wanna know
I was crying my self to sleep on the floor
Now I stay in a estate house with a sliding door
Tell the judge my n is pissed poor
That's the only reason
They was breaking the law
Living in a city where crime pays
Them hard days got me
Picking for coins in them arcades
My n a gambler
My n a staber
Marginalised set aside economy hates us
Trying to show the image like when you viewing a status
What they teachin' in history should be Burnin' the pages
My N by time u reach 21
You stuck in the matrix
Pray the lords see my heart see my patience
I done came across a lotta limitations
All these other n they just imitatin'
When your dreams come true who you gonna thank
Always told me stay humble stay grounded
Never fold never forget why you started
