Reportin' live from the front lines
Young'ns comitting gun crimes
Duckin', dodgin' the one times
People going through tough times
Niggas sittin' in kitchens cooking up hard product
Others posted on corners pushing that narcotic
See large pockets lead to large profits
The only way to get you up to that penthouse far from these dark projects
We'd rather be hard knocks in hard tops pushing hard rock
'Cause minimum wage ain't fillin' my plate
Have you ever stretched an eighth for a week?
'Cause your bi-weekly pay on the creep?
I stress yall to please pray for the weak
'Cause niggas catchin' fades for their sneaks
Man, to say the least
I'm just tryna slay the beast that's plaguing our culture
Excessive kills, lack of skills, the pills and the vultures
We already in hell, man you can smell the sulfur
Yall ain't woke y'all still broke on your mama sofa
'Ye the new Omerosa, yea he preachin' devoutly
With Trump under his shoulder, wow speaking of lousy
After y'all hear this verse y'all probably speak about me
Dont know my name? Ask Ski about me (Maverick!)
I pray peace for ya
I pray peace for you
(Protect yo' life!) (Peace)
I pray peace for ya
I pray peace for you
For all of you
I promise, I give you my word
It's only gonna be more work
(More work, more work, more work)
I'm blowin' sage in my Bible page
Reflecting on my ways and how we're living in these final days
Exhaling stresses, counting my blessings as the vinyls plays
Penning my pain tryna level up to my final stage
I'm Mariano throwing the last pitch
Coming in clutch for the bucks like it's my last ditch
Loved ones dodgin' the cuffs to get the cash quick
Won't judge, came from the mud, ain't never had shit
Like, how could one say he above all that?
But then listen to trap music, say he love all that
Play GTA as the plug, selling drugs, all that
Pure ignorance masked as love, pull the plug on that
I encourage my niggas to make wise decisions
They say sky's the limit?
That's a lie though innit?
Let's chart a course for infinity and beyond
And we won't stop 'til we on
I pray peace for ya
I pray peace for you
(Protect yo' life!) (Peace)
I pray peace for ya
I pray peace for you
For all of you
I promise, I give you my word
It's only gonna be more work
(More work, more work, more work)
I pray peace for ya
I pray peace for you
(Protect yo' life!) (Peace)
I pray peace for ya
I pray peace for you
For all of you
I promise, I give you my word
It's only gonna be more work
(More work, more work, more work)
