歌詞

Back drop: Black Spot with the blue tint
Where celestial noble natives don't pay rent
Where earthly scum searching for Avalon
But I'm looking for guidance
Up out of Babylon
But ain't no trophies given
To sprinters and fast runners
Paul and Nipsy was talkin about a marathon
And so was Solomon
And if yeen got no gun by now
You better go and get you one
Black people—y'all better ante
And lift your family up
Cop the AR
Don't get caught with your pants down
Or your fanny up
Naw we can't be "up" face down in tar
It's terrifying for those who been through it
But it's pitiful when you get used to it
Fighting for dignity amid degradation
Hope you feel me through the music
Hoping that I ooze through it
I know that life ain't promised me
But one day I know I'll be free
I reach for heaven as I
Watch all these levels incline
Move up, and sever these ties
With wicked treasures in life
Er-er-early morning
Patio infested with roaches
But they don't crawl
Seeking out the Son of God
As blue jays chirp a song
Looking for a portal
that changes financial state
Wait—if I gave none to my partners
Would that make me wrong?
Cuz I'm the one who's been in the gym
Working on my jumpshot
Searching for Polaris
And That's the North Star
But when they get wind
That we win
The thoughts become "How dare (Us)?"
So they morph a bum plot
But that won't go far
We be better than par
So a "Karen" and/or "Daren"
Won't stand chance to scare us
We have many scar
Tissue won't stop them tears from flowin
We know to keep on goin
Even when them devils try to tear us apart
That's just a two-for-one bargain
My mind they try to log in
And figure out my jargon—stop
Combat em with the strength of a Spartan
Movin ahead on this journey
Between watchin 'Martin', yah
I know that life ain't promised me
But one day I know I'll be free
I reach for heaven as I
Watch all these levels incline
Move up, and sever these ties
With wicked treasures in life
Ooo—it's an amazing looking star
I find myself gazing from afar
I search the heavens, way high
Until the Son breaks the sky
And if they ever ask why
That's where my treasures will lie
I know that life ain't promised me
But one day I know I'll be free
I reach for heaven as I
Watch all these levels incline
Move up, and sever these ties
With wicked treasures in life
