Alright

I made this record

I made this record when I was sleep

Let's

Kick it back to my old days

Way before the time I invented Ashonti

Way before the time my mama sent me on my way

Way before the time they birthed a crazy demon named Da'vai

(Aye)

My mind sizzling, sauté

If he ever disrespect

Then kill that **** in broad day

Thats just my hot take

Snatch ya food off ya hot plate

Mind state

Piece of mind

Body bags and yellow tape

So hol up let me

Break it down

"Everybody quiet on set"

Get your ticket now

Want to see a clown tap step

For the peckerwoods

That got the Sambo by the neck

Give em gold chain

Gon give em check

**** It's i x v

The Mystery

Fuck being Ashonti

I'm from Cincinnati

Where **** driving caddies & impalas

Thinking they gangsta

Paranoia embodied with trauma

Spirits cry for they mama

Shots heard all around world

Go

Bang in the east

Bang in the west

Bang in the Northside

Y'all know the rest

**** moving down south

Living dangerous

Gon get em out the way

Gotta get it off my chest

Go

Bang in the east

Bang in the west

Bang in the Northside

Y'all know the rest

**** moving down south

Acting dangerous

But when we really get to stepping

Birds flying from the nest

Oh

I said I'm

I said I'm

Doubling down, I'm smoking a pound

And ate a edible, feeling incredible

My girl booty big, call her Mrs. Incredible

Bout to stretch it out, and eat that pussy like cantaloup

"Hey Ash, how you doing?"

Man im feeling impeccable

The way this **** hating, I ain't thinking they hetero

I'm tryna do better bro

Way they moving is terrible

God flow with the pen

How I'm living in variables

And when it's all said and done

**** know I'm the one

Already won

If I'm laughing and rhyming like Big Pun

And Karma's a bitch, she swim in the sun

As the earth opens up, swallows the rich

And we all dropping our guns

And the front

No La Di Da Di

Ashonti prolly gon catch him a body

And Pop him another **** that prolly living in poverty, prophecy, prodigies give no apologies imma be properly pushing p until my inner me proud of me

(Shots heard around the world, Go)

Bang in the east

Bang in the west

Bang in the Northside

Y'all know the rest

**** moving down south

Living dangerous

Gon get em out the way

Gotta get it off my chest

Go

Bang in the east

Bang in the west

Bang in the Northside

Y'all know the rest

**** moving down south

Acting dangerous

But when we really get to stepping

Birds flying from the nest

Oh

Lay em, Down

Kill Em Dead

Black or Brown

They Seeing Red

Gun Em Down

Til The End

Tell a Friend

Of a Friend

Why You Crying?

What's Said Was Said

What's Done Is Done

The Dead Is

Dead

I resurrected the conversation that you evaded

Avoided confrontation, but fuck it, I gotta say it

Your shady nature attributed got me agitated

Protected by the culture

Your absence is celebrated

A father you not, look around, have you really made it?

Said it's your what?

Fuck it man here

Happy belated

Don't you debate it

You angry and arrogant

Drop the mystique

Feelings are weak

Fuck turning the other cheek, I'm not Martin Luther

I'm more alined with Malcolm X

I'm likely to shoot ya

I'm starring at your grave

But still I rebuke ya

A knife in my back

But I'm brother's keeper?

Treading on womb water

But ya calling me bitter

Holding these grudges really done made that ****

Telling me family love me

But they calling me sinner

Just ask

"Is the blood of the covenant deeper?"

****
