Lord please forgive me
See we been living life like a juvenile
Pants hanging down
Bangin anger sound
With a ruthless style
Slingin pounds around town
Plus my dudes is foul
Hood **** can make a good man flip
Lose his smile
Got dreams of steamin exotic Cush cruising the Nile
Live lavishly now back to reality
That street savagery
Mentality a war torn tapestry of violence
Thugs take drugs to smother the pain suffer in silence
Insane
First thing we was taught
boy stop ya crying
hush yo mouth shut yo lips
Anger Defiance
Forced to picking up the iron
at a young age
Before they knew their ABCs
Young geez knew every gun gauge
Was that part of the plan
Teach us how to shoot back
You knew the government was hell bent to force blacks to use crack
True facts
Knew cops would have authority abuse that
Swine damn near emptied the clip all off in dudes back
Chorus
you can look but dont stare just here to warn you
STAY WOKE STAY WOKE
get booked in war its all fair
just here to warn you
STAY WOKE STAY WOKE
if he a crook then he dont care
just here to warn you
STAY WOKE STAY WOKE
thinking we shook
please dont dare just here to warn you
STAY WOKE STAY WOKE
Verse 2
News flash another
Unarmed brother just got shot down
One reason we huddle up
puff Loud chug the Cirroc down
The question be-to poverty
Why thugs hug the block down
Dont they know statistics only show death or lockdown
The answer is
To us being broke is sorta cancerous
Rather die with very little than nothin at all
Why is that a riddle
See its nothin to yall
Poor is poor
That invisible door
More and more get locked behind
So more and more ignore the law
War for crumbs and pop the nine
Grind harder today swear to grind harder tomorrow
Some say the bigger the bite the harder to swallow
The time is now why waste it to wallow in sorrow
Cant envy man stick to the plan and the God that you follow
Nigga stand tall or sit the **** down
Get out a winners way
Self righteous clowns back back a pace
Let the sinners pray
Time to eat watch how we feast from every dinner tray
Chorus
Verse 3
Ol dad told me to think but never really drew out an example
A child lost forced to exhaust life harshest samples
Now momma screamin Im a handful never pleased
Uneasy bout the things that I seem to clamp to
Holdin hammers and making grams move
Fools get trampled
A day in the shoes of a vandal caught up in scandal
Summertime was cold cause many frigid hearts roamed the pavement
Neanderthals from mental enslavement
Concrete cavemen
Nightmares darker than Ravens aint no sunshine
Coppers they clockin ya sons grind
Making them 1s climb
The guns chime off like church bells
The stench of death the youngsters first smell
Hood life the worst hell
Reveal the thirst swell
Hustle
Watch the merch sell
Flip quicker than flapjacks
And always stay with that black strap where you trap at
Remember even fake thugs get scared enough to clap back
He creepin
You get caught sleepin
Blood leakin out ya SnapBack
Chorus
end
