Respect (feat. The Whitfields)

Respect to all my real heads
Who hustle till the morn' till it's time to go to bed legally
For all those who hop up out of bed
And provide for their fam and put roofs over their head legally
Respect to all my real heads
Who hustle till the morn' till it's time to go to bed legally
For all those who hop up out of bed
And provide for their fam and put roofs over their head legally

Came in through the door unnoticed
With all love showin' no negative motives
I'm here to give direction to the hopeless
And lead the people like the prophet named Moses
Bliv Mash used to go by Bliv Gnosis
From narcotic element, lyrical overdosage
And if you don't notice, you need to take focus
I don't really care if I blow up like explosives
Chain of events, set it in motion
I wanna be there when the gates of heaven open
And have the Lord say, job well done
I ain't tryna burn up like the rays of the sun
I drank the wine then I saw the spirits
Had me stumblin' in front of the wine and spirits
I had to change it up, had to be coherent
So when I deliver the message, make sure you hear it

I once was blind, but now I see
in the nick of time, he saved me
Respect to all my real heads
Who hustle till the morn' till it's time to go to bed legally
For all those who hop up out of bed
And provide for their fam and put roofs over their head legally

Bliv Mash, how you think I got the name?
I used to smash, trash, bash almost everything
Was on the come up, grimey things to rock chains
Then I had an epiphany and my life changed
To live righteous, it ain't always easy
Seen my friends get locked up for livin' greezy
When them shots rang out and they almost hit me
Made me reevaluate my life really quickly
Real killers in these streets, boy listen up
Just because I pray, don't mean my team won't mix it up
There's a difference, defending yourself and attacking
Every action has a reaction
Take rap seriously, this is my passion
When I'm stressed, some hot bars become the aspirin
Before fights break out and guns start clappin
Bring back positive vibes, let's make it happen

I once was blind, but now I see
in the nick of time, he saved me
Respect to all my real heads
Who hustle till the morn' till it's time to go to bed legally
For all those who hop up out of bed
And provide for their fam and put roofs over their head legally

Legally
The Whitfields, sing it Mom
Legally
He saved me, saved me
Legally
Just in time
Salute to the Lord
Legally
He saved me, saved me
