[Verse]
Here come the bass, All of them strings
Look at them breathe, The way that they sing
Follow the soul, Where does it lead
Maybe a stray, Maybe it's close
I know everything, Fuck I don't know
All I know is that we put here to grow
And all I know is that I started to flow
The minute that Biggie started Kick In The Door
Now they're go them drums
Notice the way they drop on the 1
I grew in the sun without throwin' no shade
Built for this shit man I know what it take
The big homie Tay, and big homiе Rock
And Big Homie Dre
It wasn't no gang
But I know that they camе from a whole different place
And not only race but they fuck with the way that I say what I say
And now there go them Horns
Throwin' em' up
Wanna be strong but wanna be loved
I wouldn't be Calm if wasn't for Storms
The Thunder and Lightning that live in my bones
You Quake in the Wake of a trembling thought
Watching for signs, I'm dotting them I's
I'm crossing my T's while I'm making my mark
Never asked for your help, but I'm begging your pardon
I'm late to your party, Caught up on reasons why I even started
Thinking bout people who couldn't afford to believe
But they offered a promise
Who clearly are martyred
But Dearly Departed
We live in their honor
It's been a minute
It's been a while
I'm all you got
Hop off the phone
He told me to chill
Everyone died
Even the dog
And even his Pa
And even his own
No matter how cold I believe we could thaw
No matter how old I believe we could draw
A picture, a portrait or so
Looked in the mirror and told him myself
Apologize I couldn't formally help
I ain't forming a Guild
I am more like a Quilt
With the weaver each memory sewn into Silk
But what happens when homies get pushed to the side
What happens when Neighborhoods don't got a chance
Jamar if you heard this then hit up my line
I ain't seen you since Saints started taking your land
And to the mama belong to your grams
Everyone talking bout Gentrification
Without seeing Exemplification
Fuckers done tore down like three Generations
Made it a Benz Dealership
Who the fuck you think we dealing with
Boy it's Corporate Interest we competing with
Pray I don't become no Greedy Motherfucker on some Gatekeeper shit
Heard it's contagious, Whole lotta Gang Shit
Keep turning these pages
What more can I say
