Believe

[Verse 1]

I remember bein' broke

Talkin' 'bout we gon' get this money, gon' get this money

Went from ball playin' to the mall slanging

CD's of niggas tryna scrape a hundred

Now it's a hundred when I get a steak

Need a reservation just to get a plate

With a hoodie, Louis bucket, and slides

Motherfuck a button-up and a tie

Black power and I'm swangin it wide

Foreign dripping with a bitch on the side

Beastmode, Marshawn with it

Had to step on my haters just to get by

I just touched down

Whippin' on the corner with a bag in the trunk

For all my niggas never having enough

Like what the fuck is ever having enough?

We gon' keep keep baggin' it up

We gon' keep keep cashin' it up

I need this here for the inner city

I need Wakanda in Mississippi

I need to plot it and plan it

A way we could manage to stay out the penitentiary

I need a chopper for all of my partners

Just in case the government try to get me

This is bigger than the color green

This is Denzel in the last scene

Of a Spike Lee joint, Malcolm X story

Necessary by any means

This is a mil' on the wheel

I am a four, never pour, never sip

I got a dream

Something like ML the King

Talkin' 'bout every day of the week

[Chorus]

I'm tryin' so hard to believe

I'm tryin' so hard to believe

Kids dyin' but we actin' like it's a breeze

Struggling, shakin' disease

We can't stay down on our knees

That's what we good at though, believing

That's what we good at though, believing

Believing, believing

[Verse 2]

That what I been saying ain't over they heads (Believe)

People don't only give flowers to dead

All the police ain't been tryin' to kill us (Believe)

All the medicine is bound to heal us

It was really help they tried to give us (Believe)

All this drankin' ain't gon' fail my liver

I'ma live to be a father figure (Believe)

Better than my father ever figured

All these rappers really rappin' 'bout it

Really saving people, really giving back (Believe)

All the pastors in the churches talking to the Lord

Tell Him where we at (Believe)

And the water ain't pure and ain't good for the drinking

Don't fix me a plate if you know I can't eat it

Seeing people dead on TV and social networks just fuck with my thinking

Scared I'll die young with no children to hold (Believe)

No one to leave what I owe

Scared I'll grow old, I might lose who I knew (Believe)

I might forget who I know

I'm a product of believe, believe (Believe)

I'm living what I was told

What happened to Nip, I just can't believe (Believe)

It takes a believer to know
