Reassurance

Niggas dream of being ballers and shot callers, top-tier performers
They stop stare record us, they clap hands reward us
They chopped arms before us and slit throats for quarters
Sink boats in murky waters dirty from the bloody horrors of past shames of former
My last name's a glass stained from back strains and past pain's misfortune
I lacerate the orders used for my distortion
Their mad face I laugh, they love to hate my craft
Doing the math, raving over proportions of my fees
Pree how I'm soaring overseas to Middle East feasting on the heated shawarma
Harbor hatred in their heart they must love the dance with karma
Didn't have patience at the start, I'm learning as I'm moving forward
Reassurance from Father, Son, the Spirit make four of us
Am I the one that's called to bring an update to our morals
Trust the vision through the glass half-made
Scraping away that last bit of shade thrown my way since childhood games
Attention span was shorter
Bad ass kid who found his peace in the corner
Timeout, strategize before buzzer sound end of quarter
Didn't want your gold stars, never needed your cheers to feel rewarded
Well maybe sort of when I was shorter and saw the black performers with Jordan's on
Raising their cortisol because they were paid by the white man to distort us
The moment we were born was never for us
Their Beamer ride through hoods like tour bus
Because they never get bored of being whores they whored us
Best believe that karma's sure to track them back to their sons and their daughters
Probably got like thirty of them
Mothers out here hurting from them
And they're stacking court orders
Went from whoring to hoarding snacks and packs so they could make the barter
Now introspective
Does it warrant the torment pouring from outstanding warrants
Your clothing turn orange, the coppers they're swarming
Same old story gets boring, I'm ever snoring you all sleep
I'm busy storing the keep
You all drown in shallow, Father got me out here treading the deep
Because I got visions to see, got sermons to preach
Got college degree, got knowledge of the history the centuries
Said I got Spirit in me chanting Bastille asking to storm them
Steal a page from their textbook, their playbook pushing their borders
Testing who's stronger
If I wasn't led by God would ask to chloroform them
Because I'm led by Love
I'll act to reform us, I'll have to transform them
Villainous schemes get thwarted
Devilish things that was scorching will get sorted in public forum
In beautiful fashion it'll be gorgeous
My purpose, my passion is core of my very being
Seen many things
They don't know Love, don't know trust, don't know us
Don't know the meaning of a wedding ring
Perform for flashy and finer things
The people and evil need a divorce
Locate your Source, you still don't know Him
But I'm devoted so I implore us to let nature run its course
Let God show us where to find voice to verify the chorus
In case you all needed reassurance

We all need reassurance sometimes
Reassure me every now and again
We all need some reassurance sometimes
Now tell me are you for me
Or are you against
