False Idols

I been contemplating for a while now thinking bout how God
Threw me in the middle of the fire
I was a wild child, with a foul mouth
Outside with my guys if my momma find out
I'll die from her ass whooping 'cause I skipped class, but
The teacher say she get paid either way, whether not we pass
I had some lessons learned vicariously, I'm on the Ave
Pen and a pad, takin these notes till i graduated
To flipping them grams, feeling like damn

Who was I suppose to follow
We ain't never had no leaders
Preacher say read the Bible
He don't even believe in Jesus
Worshipping false idols
Cuz that was all that I learned
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
No credit score, no FICO

So much hypocrisy in our democracy
When looking deep into it the core of our beliefs
Are we really free?

In second grade, there was a day, this kid told me my kicks was fake
I felt a way, cuz they was Payless, my momma was just tryna make it
Made a promise to myself, that as long as God provide the health
I hope the end is worth the means it seems to justify
I just defied the odds, ya'll breaking even no surprise
Exclamation on my pride that's just what I emphasize
Dedication to the grind, that's how I stay alive

Who was I suppose to follow
We ain't never had no leaders
Preacher say read the Bible
He don't even believe in Jesus
Worshipping false idols
Cuz that was all that I learned
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
No credit score, no FICO
Who was I suppose to follow
We ain't never had no leaders
Preacher say read the Bible
He don't even believe in Jesus
We caught up in a cycle
They coming at ya vitals
Life is a thriller, Michael
Don't fall asleep, ya eye closed
