Pray for me, need y`all to just pray for me
Pray for me, somebody just pray for me
Somebody pray for me, need y`all to just pray for me
Somebody pray for me, need y`all to just pray for me
Now if it goes to the wire
I will never fall, I got the soul of a fighter
Walk barefoot over the coals through the fire
I thought the toll would be lighter
Make sure that blunt is rolled a little tighter
I tell `em I`m just looking for some piece of mind
But they say I`m only working with a piece of mine
If I`m a do it it be on my own accord, no crutch
Swear to god I`ve never called upon the lord so much
Play the corner of the club, laughing at the wanna-bes
It`s ironic cause they everything I wanna be
Would light a ton of reef
But that`s gon` unleash
Everything I`m trying to hide underneath
Then I`d lose all I`ve earned
And if there`s two things that I`ve learned
Is I`m the only thing at stake
And when you the only thing real
Really you the only thing fake
It must be time to escape from that
And f**k rhymes, might be time to escape from rap
Why should I be the only ni**a to escape from the act?
So I lie since everybody just escapes from facts
Yo that sucka s**t ni**as be on I can`t dig it
Joe – won`t lose even if you plan to rig it
Yeah, nothing to prove, with no fear of how I`m depicted
I`m here, won`t move, I don`t care to be evicted
You don`t like how I move?
Well I ain`t gonna keep still
Any ni**a want me killed
Wanna leave me in the streets peeled
Well if it happens it happens, I believe in free will
Just know that ain`t how we built
I`ll call ni**as that`ll dead you for a cheap thrill
When the clips empty, they gonna try to refill
And I`m a be the dude to try and stop `em like, "please chill."
Y`all know all I`m about
They keep putting up roadblocks
I keep finding alternate routes
Now success seems likely everybody wanna try me
I`m all for it, can`t trip me up
I won`t fall for it
I`m just a man without a care
Neighbor to heartache, roommate with despair
Reminded my past is darker
Cause when A.M. died I was staring at Travis Barker
Wishing it was something I could say to make him cheer up
And so I prayed – he teared up
I ain`t wanna see him go through that
The same s**t that I feel, never showed you that
Cause it`s none of nobody`s business
And it just makes you look weaker
Every joke is just smoke
Look deeper, nevermind, don`t bother
Some of y`all smarter
Enough ain`t got sense that if you try harder
You`ll get a glimpse of everything that I harbor
We all ain`t got the strength to be a martyr
So to everyone who ever loved me:
I apologize and I`m sorry
Wholeheartedly, can`t change it`s just part of me
Not music, s**t`s art to me
Too f**ked up to drive, here`s the car keys
I don`t care where we go, get it far from me
Choices I don`t wanna make
I know I have to
Worlds going faster
So my ride or die chose the latter
I`m looking for a rush out of habit
Truth is, there is such thing as too much for a addict
Ain`t the ni**a I`m belittled as, riddle that, ni**a come from middle class
If you speak to me, show a little class
Dropped out of school, a ni**a couldn`t sit through class
Learned to fall asleep through the sound of a pistol`s blast
I come from where dad taught mom to get high
She`s strong so we still got by
When I picked up the drug why the f**k was they surprised?
If it wasn`t for your genes I wouldn`t lust the supply
I come from a whole hood, telling me that I`m next
Handed me a mag, must`ve known that I was Complex
They say that you a wild individual
You just not getting my style, you too typical
Now everybody got a word for me
S**t y`all deem important ain`t pertinent to me
Put your opinion with a feather, balance that
Grab medicine, when the success and the talent match
Now pray for them
