Peasant

Count it back
Been that guy since way back
Off the yak
Off the drugs i'm laid back
All of my foes
Cant hold a candle to one of my team
Let it be known
I was a peasant that came for the king

Who been opposed?
Who wanna pick up the crumbs while I eat?
I strike a pose
I think it belong right aside Mona Lisa
They on tippy-toes
Just to get the view that I get on my feet
The life that I chose
If I died today I'd know peace
I came to impose
It's everyday fuck the police
The way my neck froze
You know that my money increase
I cannot be dozing
I'll do that shit when I decease
I walk in a store
Walk out with a bag that's obese
I'm doing the most
Cause time is of essence to me
I can't be a goat
Cause that is too close to a sheep
We on the East coast
North side gon' stand up for me
Whatever I spoke
Write it down like I was Jesus
If I ever go down
I'm swinging like I'm Lil Mac
Ghost town
When I pull up in that Cadillac
Who you calling your dawg
I don't know you Jack
You just tryna get on a song
I ain't here for that

Count it back
Been that guy since way back
Off the yak
Off the drugs i'm laid back
All of my foes
Cant hold a candle to one of my team
Let it be known
I was a peasant that came for the king
Count it back
Been that guy since way back
Off the yak
Off the drugs I'm laid back
All of my foes
Cant hold a candle to one of my team
Let it be known
I was a peasant that came for the king

20 g's on me, don't care
It's all brown no greens
Follow me, don't cop my flair
I was taught to lead
All this bullshit dealt with ease
I'm the type to breeze
Catch me studying the world
But I ain't Socrates
Solemnly, I'm counting money
Diocese, this my territory
On they knees, they praying for me
But who listening?
Nobody cares
Nobody sees shit, empty stares
Nobody bears the crosses you done carried
They wasn't there
Life was never fair
There is no justice, vengeance rare
I am the turtle, you the hare
There's irony in the air

Count it back
Been that guy since way back
Off the yak
Off the drugs i'm laid back
All of my foes
Cant hold a candle to one of my team
Let it be known
I was a peasant that came for the king
Count it back
Been that guy since way back
Off the yak
Off the drugs i'm laid back
All of my foes
Cant hold a candle to one of my team
Let it be known
I was a peasant that came for the king
