[Verse]
Spent time sittin' in it
Both times I was swimmin'
Keep still, don't budge
My heart still
My life ain't like no movie script, this shit is non-fiction
Practice non-violence that's a bold decision
Cast light my momma know the prism well
My cousin know the prison cell, can't count the lonely moments chewin' fingernails
Lookin' in my hands all these blessings I was dealt
Stone roller sinkin' in it all prevail
Rollin' in the deep them n***as singin' like Adele
Birds soarin' high, what's the password when you get to the gate?
How absurd, called a nurse, flatline
Won't catch me in no hospital bed
I'm that guy, reek of death
When you walk through them stairs they chastise, reprimand you
Blood-stained sand like its Cancun
Sun rays dance on my man's roof
Six braids displaced
Was nothin' 'til I found truth
Huntin' all around you
I know you want a slice
Change, that's a buck 50, young n***a pay the price
Beans over rice can't compare to a black woman plight
But what's the mission at hand?
Mademoiselle get a kiss on the hand
Spirit nimble, roam the middle, I'm still gettin' it in
We the shit, tell a friend or two
We smoking clean herb
You n***as smoking chemicals, and it show
I told my image, I ain't scared of you
Not no more
Like Mother Mary it's a miracle
Pure as snow
And all I carry is not curable
And I hope you n***as know Navy the spiritual
Slay a goat
Walk for miles on these timid toes, ten of 'em
On my own medicine
To the dome, heaven sent
We was stole represent
All I know, search within
I was turning grief into gold
Crew tight-knit
Close like the speech that I hope
Speak from the soul
Duly noted he a poet blessings on me 'til I'm gone
Keep it goin'
Everyday
I give thanks for all I know, bow my head
Say grace we eatin' well
On my own
Throw a stone in the lake, watch it skip
N***a pay the price
[Outro]
I give thanks for all I know, bow my head
Say grace we eatin' well
On my own
Throw a stone in the lake, watch it skip
