BRIMSTONE

I have it plotted out just like a broke nigga gotta
On my stop I tell mama la parada
Samad cook it up yer

I know what I can be
I do, I do
Selling out ain't it for me, so
Ride through, ride through
I know what I can be
I do, I do
Society is misery, brimstone and watu, watu

Ooh, I've been on my grind
Had to take it one day at a time
Remember nights I would pray for a guide
Stomach empty, but I'm hungry for a life better
Something's gotta change
Pray to God that I find a way
Sacrifice is the price to pay
Although it ain't in my sight, there's a life better

Rough and rugged
My car broke down I need a ride Im thinking fuck it
I'll call up my boy and cash app him a little something
Account at negative 15, I need to budget
Now I'm scrapping for change I know the boy just got to bus it
Appointment on 67th, I maybe late
I live on 10th, I hop on the 88
A dollar fifty all in quarters I give to the lady straight and then take a seat
My last quarters in the pocket to repeat
Just know the kid set
Relax, take a look up out the window and get impressed
Looking at the world surprised hunger hasn't set in yet
Need breakfast, I get paid next week, I'll buy food with credit and use the debit to relinquish the debt
I have it plotted out just like a broke nigga gotta
On my stop I tell mama la parada
And walk right off the bus like it's the usual
Don't know what it is but something in the struggle make it beautiful

Ooh, I've been on my grind
Had to take it one day at a time
Remember nights I would pray for a guide
Stomach empty, but I'm hungry for a life better
Something's gotta change
Pray to God that I find a way
Sacrifice is the price to pay
Although it ain't in my sight, there's a life better

I know what I can be
I do, I do
Selling out ain't it for me, so
Ride through, ride through
I know what I can be
I do, I do
Society is misery, brimstone and watu, watu

I remember working retail
Living check to check, check engine light on
I was getting snaked like I live with pythons
And the only avenue I had to vent was my songs
I was taking Ls like I robbed a dispensary
A lot of friends turned to distant memories
Only had a couple niggas that was defending me
They the same ones still wishing the best for me
Like Shakur Stevenson, I got my team in my corner
Undefeatable is how I feel when I start recording
The famous proverb is time will tell
I was told that I could do it so I might as well

Don't know where the time went
Wish I could rewind this on some Nas shit
Struggle with my life but trust the process
Too much on my mental so I chill and the bump the homie that's a vibe check
This classic that we got's a lot to digest
Praying on our downfall, promise you'll see God next
Moving as a team so we conquer ain't no contest
Almost lost my way but I got it I know I'm blessed
Cuz my brothers show me love and give me guidance

Ooh, I've been on my grind
Had to take it one day at a time
Remember nights I would pray for a guide
Stomach empty, but I'm hungry for a life better
Something's gotta change
Pray to God that I find a way
Sacrifice is the price to pay
Although it ain't in my sight, there's a life better
Society is misery, brimstone and watu, watu
