I remember when the sky was blue, like ice hue it's cold
Where I stand, from lands you ain't ventured
From klan in driving distance of clan who match color of mine
Red is the weight of the line, yellow the tape it's a crime
You should be careful of the corners you wait
In the end know the devil and the savior is fate
Via pen tell you all about the plight and strife
'Bout the pain and loss
But you know and you see it
Do I really have to say it?
♪
Come from ends where the money ain't the worst but the depression high
Location and stimuli make the human thrive
But what exactly is the aim when you speak that phrase
Chase cash and stash, hit the rainbow dash
See you winning and I'm proud, what you do with it now?
Hit the lotto with a frown, numbers won't make it stop
I then traveled your block
Walked a mile in your shoes
Actually until the soles wore skin calloused
Every God know that fame don't disarm malice
Magnifying who you are hope you know self
Everybody know that joy and pain
Sunshine and rain, heat waves and storms
I pray to diety you make it home
Say I love you in person and over mobile phone
'Cause when the credits fall we die alone
Second line carry mine over level we good
Cards laid and plaid come and test your faith
♪
Black
I pray to diety you make it home
Number man tri light flash badge and chrome, they want you gone
It's sad
And that's from my experience and past alone
I can only speak on what my eyes witness
That's why I smile when you see me in the video
Black joy, black man, black boy
Make it out of the river in the expanse
Make it off of the island you got plans
We could get it if you listen, it'll tell you well
Intuition inner vision like it's soad the road
Although treacherous, it'll make you strong
Know it's hard outside like pavement
Man laying the pressure it might kill you if you can't take it
See a demon in the mirror and you can't face it
Seeing God in yourself but you can't face it
See the finish line, but you growing impatient
