Transparency II

Check
Straight through this bitch
One take
1, 2, 1, 2
Look

What I'm sposed to do when I'm feeling I'm down and out
With people counting down on me being down for the count
When people hangin round with you never round when it counts
When people thats surrounding you suffocating and drown
Is that what they really mean when they say they gone hold you down
I got alot of shit that I juggle around in circuit
Lately I just give it to God and look how its working
You got too many clowns in yo circle its like a circus
Gotta watch out for serpents, they lurking under the surface
See, I gotta watch cause I never like cuttin grass
Honor roll nigga, was never caught cuttin class
Really I was scared of my momma gettin that call
Shit, really I was scared of my daddy whoopin my ass
Momma started watching my story she gettin worried
Say she never raised me to be like that and its scary
Momma gotta know she was never the only one
I would grow up wit niggas that rode around wit a gun
See their good days was never having to use it
My good days was fuckin around wit cupid
Their bad days was seeing mom on the block
My bad days was daddy punchin the clock
Barely coming to games, that nigga was rarely off
Now that I'm getting older I'm understanding the cost
See, way back then I only knew what I thought
I could never forget that feeling after a loss
I guess that's where perfectionism would start
I would take every loss as a dagger right to the heart
The obsession wit never losing was way bigger than winning
And never lookin stupid was way bigger than sinning
That and a mix of pride is why niggas be spending
All the rest of they blinks in clinks steady repenting
Ion got all the answers but got a bunch of the questions
Growin up I would have interrogations with reverends
Asking em whats the meaning of this and that in this section
I'm asking "why would God just take a rest on the 7th?"
"All of this yo creation, then how would you never check it?"
She was prolly elated and never thought we would wreck it
Made Adam and Eve and left em alone a second
They ate from the tree and she made em regret it
Kicked em right outta eden for eating and disrespecting
It got so bad you sent us your only son
Hell of a sacrifice man that was ya only one
Hanging there on the cross he asked
"What have you done? God why thou forsaken me?" looking into the sun
Even the son of God would question God on occasion
See I always wondered why God would let us choose
Believing in you is winning, then why would you let us lose
If God made the earth, why man make all the rules
Drownin all of our sins in gin, xans and juice
If we was made yo image then why all of these flaws
It only make sense that we serve an imperfect G-
