[Intro: Lancey Foux & Kanye West]
Every knee shall bow ('Cause I tried to tell them, tried to tell them, tried to tell them, tried to tell them, tried— woah)
Every knee shall bow (Just can't handle it, you see what I'm sayin'?)
(And she can't handle anything goin' wrong, see what I'm sayin'? T-T-double O-L, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Lancey Foux]
When the curtain comes down and all the smoke clear
Will you still stand strong? Will you fold down, fearin'?
Will you still look tough, huh, if you take away the gear?
Huh, will your name live long? (Woah-woah), will it die right here? (Right here)
[Chorus: Lancey Foux]
Everyday, I try
Everyday, they lie (Woah)
Everyday, I try (I tried to tell them, tried to tell them, tried to tell them)
Every day's a vow
[Verse 1: Lancey Foux]
But they don't really care how it goes on the road, uh
Or goes in the game, huh-huh
Niggas out of guard, huh, trapped in the pain
Everything real when the hood hit the booth and explain (Yeah-yeah)
The money that you made, fast cars with beef on the mains (Yeah)
The hood love a storyline, you turn to a character, the main (Huh-huh)
Protagonist, you're havin' it, the whole of the borough know your name, huh
Your gang lit the sandpit, you still with them niggas from the day (From the day)
The rap shit that got big, you still got some money out the way (Woah-woah)
More funds, more guns, in your eyes, everything is great
In the video with the members, posted up where it ain't safe
Everybody say they got you 4L, you just gotta say it
[Bridge: Lancey Foux]
If I translate it, it means, "I got you, as long as you pay"
If I translate it, "If I go to jail, make sure you pay"
If I translate it, "If I die, just pay for the grave"
If I translate it, "Just pay for my life, I'll keep you safe"
[Verse 2: Lancey Foux]
If we do a crime, will you say my name? (Woah-woah-woah)
Fast-foward (Fast forward)
You did a crime and he pointed the blame (Pointed the blame)
Shit got risky, you flew out of state and you tried to change, yeah-yeah (Huh)
Flew out the way to the sun 'cause you couldn't stand in the rain, yeah-yeah
Losing focus, hocus pocus, bad boy, now you're bogus
Wanna say R.I.P.'s and free's in your song, but you niggas ain't spoken
Wanna get back to the music, but it's not happenin', you got no emotion
Can't go back to the hood, you finessed everyone, all the friendship's broken
Can't say we had bread gone, can't tell your lady you love and adore
Still got a watch or two and a car and rent, so it's good for the show
Financial secret, but trust me, man, the government knows
Livin' in lust over love, baby momma come after the hoes (Phew)
[Refrain: Lancey Foux]
Everyday, you try
To pray to God, but you got no hope
Everyday, you try
Gettin' it back, but you lost yourself
[Pre-Chorus: Lancey Foux]
When the curtain comes down and all the smoke clear
Will you still stand strong? Will you fold down, fearin'?
Will you still look tough, huh, if you take away the gear?
Huh, will your name live long? (Woah-woah) Will it die right here? (Die right here)
[Chorus: Lancey Foux]
Everyday, I try (I'm tryna tell 'em how it goes, I'm tryna tell 'em how it goes)
Everyday, they lie (It's all just a lie on the low)
Everyday, I try (I tried to tell them how it goes)
Every day's a vow (And they don't get it, they don't get it, they don't get it)
[Outro: Lancey Foux & Kanye West]
Every knee shall bow (When the curtain comes down and all the smoke clear)
(Will you still be here?)
Every knee shall bow
