Gabe the Kid - Creed Lyrics

Stack of notepads like I'm revising for a test
But life ain't passed yet until I take my last breath
See a lot of guys live like there's no heart in their chest
As long as I can say I did my best
Auntie made sure I knew my Genesis while she's living on benefits
Fighting for, man I'll never rest until heaven fits
Poetic justice through all my years
Ink blotted with many tears
Praying to God I see another year
Gabe the Kid hope you make it big
Don't forget to live
Do the most move it coast to coast
Give your boys a toast
Give it back, give the kids something
Don't leave them with nothing
Stop the frontin' keep to prayer
And don't concede to haters
Simple phrases
Keep me from going places that I shouldn't go
The Kid's got a curfew though
Past and present moving mutual
Had to go down hard roads to get to bigger doors

To see the picture I had to step out the frame
Pounding the pad but wasn't playing the game
Through the tears and the fears I hold my face
Mum said don't forget where you were raised up
To see the picture I had to step out the frame
Pounding the pad but wasn't playing the game
Through the tears and the fears I hold my face
Mum said don't forget where you were raised up

It's the creed
Count your blessings learn your lessons keep your head up
Don't ever let it in don't let it up
Understand it's the creed
Justify, live your live, crucify all the lies
Understand it's do or die
Understand it's the creed
Love more, hate less, be blessed
Cause boy you way too young to be stressed
Understand it's the creed
Find your purpose, times are hard, read your verses
One day I swear it's all gonna be worth it
It's the creed

Hm, bring it back

Four wings, some chips, and a 279
Laughing game, get rushed, the boys take their time
Penny up, pat ball, blackjack
Some boys never slacked in tryna get the stacks
Lot of ambition interpreted into vision
Some of them dishing hustles, and some of them just dishing
Lightskin, got called coconut, buttercup
Cause I hung with all crews like Christ on the up and up
And I rock some red hot J's, and the Chilli Peppers
Wasn't black enough in their eyes, I must have missed the message
Linked the boys in the park, numbing out to Linkin Park
Take two on my character, just like it was Noah's Ark
Some people saw Gabriel, some people saw Gabe
It's survival of the likeables, not tryna catch a fade out here
Cause these streets aren't out safe out here
Needing some holy water to wipe away my tears

I've seen a lot come and a lot to go
I've got more to come and a lot to go
Through the tears and the fears I hold my face up
And now I don't forget where I was raised up
I've seen a lot come and a lot to go
I've got more to come and a lot to go
Through the tears and the fears I hold my face up
And now I don't forget where I was raised up

It's the creed
Count your blessings learn your lessons keep your head up
Don't ever let it in don't let it up
Understand it's the creed
Justify, live your live, crucify all the lies
Understand it's do or die
Understand it's the creed
Love more, hate less, be blessed
Cause boy you way too young to be stressed
Understand it's the creed
Find your purpose, times are hard, read your verses
One day I swear it's all gonna be worth it
It's the creed
