Shipwrecked (feat. The Mind)

Witnessed the end of our fair lady

Million pieces lost at sea

Ruined is the crew

That's setting sail with me

Oh, Lord, we're sinking, God knows we fall

Set sail for Heaven, praying my soul won't get lost

Pray God accepts me, I know I'm wrong

But we've been shipwrecked since we were born

It was 91st and Langley, we were six deep

Stepping up the stairs, black Buick with a slick creep

Moving down the block, we had froze

Felt the tension in my toes, man, who is that, I don't know

Driving slow, man, he probably throwed

See, we was thrown off, it was New Years Eve

I still remember when my baby lungs blew them trees

I still felt like a saint when I drew that breeze

On no corners was I hanging, never banging but I knew them G's

It's been tragic, since Boy Meets World it's been savage

But the goal was never really the beef, it's been cabbage

We kill for it, when we die we can't have it

But we can't kill the habit holding on to this boat till we shipwrecked

So we swim upon the shore, I die on sand before the dawn

I watch my **** die afraid, what could I fear

They say the waves will wash our sin

That we were black because our skin

I know we gazed upon the promise, I'm not sure

Oh, we got a supernatural love

Oh, we got a supernatural love

I've been in these waters like the Titanic

Waves crashed down, you'd have thought a **** drowned

But I'm staring at the sky, like, why panic

Don't you know who I pray to, we've been looking like prey

I just caught this shit at the prelude

Peace, I've been keeping it

Step into the wools, forever a black sheep to the herd

How you not heard 'bout this ****

You think you feeling the flow, it's somewhere in the ceiling I'm not hot

Trust I'll be bringing it, **** get it like Popeye

I've been trying to give them what's good

But don't call it food for thought, shit tastes like a hot fry

Shit had a **** so thirsty I couldn't see straight

It was like I was cockeyed

Fam, tell 'em what you seen on the south side, tell 'em

Tell 'em where you've been, ****, tell 'em where you're going

Cold park whenever I was outside

Somebody shooting, ****, even when it's snowing

In the cold you could see the people thirsty

Well, I got a little water right here, you heard me

All you gotta do is take a sip

And I don't want your souls and I do not want your gold

I just do it for the free, my ****, don't trip

Don't trip, I do it for the free, my ****, don't trip

Don't trip, I do it for the free my, ****, don't trip

Ten thousand tiny soldiers marching right through my heart

Couldn't keep me at bay
