Subtle

[Chorus] I'da stayed anonymous if prominent was pure It's about pride, so I'm outside trying to endure I'm outside trying to endure [Verse 1] Paint harsh to aim the brainwash, deepen the condition Knew defeat, want fruit to eat, had to speak it to fruition Blocks ruined, my own pot stewing, sneaking to the kitchen Amid disease, give 'em degrees, til they start leaving tuition Stubborn we did it, wasn't permitted, never needed they permission They slippin', we going fishing, if was eating; ate sufficiеnt Street see you get defeatеd, you get treated as provision Keep fighting, if that you needing it or heed a bit and listen Without pull I had to press though, was being a magician No front street; got dumb heat, see what I was risking? (You see what I was risking?) [Refrain] She lift my spirit subtle, told me "this is why they love you" [Verse 2] Praised as poised, raised our boys to keep eye on the enemy Draw the venetians, bought a few pieces; no required assembly Let the Tec blaze for decades, the fire was penalty They owe a debt that reparations can't entirely remedy [Refrain] She lift my spirit subtle, told me "this is why they love y.." [Verse 3] Way they took my liberty, me not being a bigot is big of me Want this bit of the map, catch shiv' in your back, practicing chivalry Every God'll know, it's hard to show compassion in misery First I'm content with the content, then master delivery [Refrain] She lift my spirit subtle, told me "this is why they love you" [Verse 4] Not a man of jest, I'm more just than chain mail family crest Tried to buy us, but Ka decided my candid's best Talk uniqueness for corporate weakness like every man of flesh Shit was gritty, wasn't sitting pretty, had to stand the test Pass flying colors, few brothers got splashed, lie in gutters Hurt my heart, they took our diamonds, call us spades, tried to club us [Refrain] She lift my spirit subtle, told me "this is why they love you" [Chorus] I'da stayed anonymous if prominent was pure It's about pride, so I'm outside trying to endure I'm outside trying to endure
