lyrics

Dearly beloved we are gathered in this place now,
Peace and blessings to you all, you’ve been a great crowd,
Go give em’ treble and don’t never turn the bass down,
And til’ they black we stack our money with the face down,
I been in the jungles ducking suckas with the fake smiles,
Looking like they drawn on, its safe to say they straight clowns,
Nah, we ain’t afraid of pain, boy that’s where your faith’s found,
Why you think the illest part of records be the breakdown?
Especially when I’m chef’ing it, Chizzle beat a break down,
Legends in my circle straight thorough, we don’t play around,
Verses be the gospel, n***** oughta pass a plate around,
Until I reach the Promised Land, I’m trying to find my way around,
A lot of rappers are hot now but they don’t tend to stay around,
I’m just saying, dog, you can’t believe the Gram, dog,
They buying followers, they’re fans are full of spam, dog,
They gon’ have to reckon for that flexing in the dancehall,
Made a whole career of violating man laws,
Not because of who they love, they don’t never stand tall,
Say we in the same lane? I be thinking “Man, naw.”
I know that that’s your folk but keep it woke though, your man’s slaw,
A mustard seed will move a mountain, make a man fall,
The measure of a man is when the money’s low and plans stall,
And in this balance act, I wonder how I’m weighing up,
Spinning on this sphere, trying to figure out which way is up.
