Some lead, some follow
Some deal, some feel, some hollow
Some motive cold and solo, some sealed in tribal
Some kneel, some real, some heal, some hobble
Those that broadcast; don't air still, some share meals, some gobble
If I greet and say peace you know you safe here
You safe here
When we depart with all my heart I tell you take care
Take care
Gruesome me; used to be if we had rift, you felt the wrath
Now I'm too sophist', still don't miss with shooting gift to help your path
On your road to triumph, you know the science, I dealt in math
These God sessions answer hard lessons; brethren seldom ask
My misses gave butterfly kisses, she know I felt the lash
The land is tense, I stand for sense, never knelt for cash
Solid vow, I got it now, bow to who held it last
Was done well and young fell if he dispel the past
They tried to hush me cause gave dusty a smarter new glisten
From a priceless mold, I might be old but I harvest nutrition
You know the beast controls, so peace to those Gods that do listen
If you scout them, each album imparts a new mission
From child was already handling, images very damaging
On corners politicking, police break us up like gerrymandering
Once learned the land was never ran, never ran again
No lessons clandestine all these ancestors I'm channeling
Billion good deeds, eclipsed by a moment of weakness
Got my yield in the field, you was at home in the bleachers
From a savage site, had to fight just for owning some sneakers
Where every link is grim its sink or swim, we got thrown to the deepest
You ain't living premier if you living in fear
No verdicts, not guilty since block filthy, no innocence here
Since seared by sin, all I ever been is sincere
If you hear I'm on the premises, every premise severe
Though my rank capped at captain, I did it admirably
Cause of my race, took hits from the start, it never staggered me
Knew I was black back then, so at ten I had tenacity
No tracks are vacuous, my pact is to do it masterfully
When them planes crashed, Ka did his task in the catastrophe
I dug and I held when them towers fell, how dare you try to hassle me? (How dare you?)
Some bruised thugs choose love, some stewing hate
Some stuck with tough luck, some ****ed up, some doing great
Some phony only show to throw shades, some illuminate
Some dived and dipped back, get trapped, some do escape
If I greet and say peace you know you safe here
You safe here
When we depart with all my heart I tell you take care
Take care
