Pearly Gates

[Intro]

(Ah-ha!)

It's like

Life is crazy

[Verse]

Ain't no benefits when you part-time

We did enough dumb shit

From here on out, we on smart time

The love and hate joint is different from the chalk lines

'Cause real niggas are built off hard times

The odds were against us

So either I'ma be a point guard or

I'ma sell hard 'til they pinch us

Senseless, they couldn't box us in so they fenced us

Now we pullin' off the lot with the Tempesta

Some niggas traded, other niggas faded

Some are still around, if you don't see 'em, then they hated

That's usually how it go though, the journey is for the chosen

Throughout it all, all I can do is remain golden

Right and left wrist and my neck will remain frozen

Word to Nip, ten toes down and we ain't foldin'

Can't say you're doin' your thing when you ain't holdin'

Movin' that water in the spring but it ain't Poland

Alkaline, yeah, I'm out for mine

I share thoughts with my son, he got a alpha mind

Long as he think out of the box and stay out the lines

He get a nice piece of change and a house of mines

Yeah, it's just work to me, that call is action

All these Bergdorf bags and all this Saks and

All this money I'm makin' and all this taxin'

You get the picture, I just gotta finish the caption

So Raspy so you don't gotta keep askin'

One head shot, so you don't gotta keep blastin'

Before you pick up speed, you gotta get traction

To see yourself bleed is a different reaction

What you want and what you need is a different attraction

End of the day, long as you gettin' your back-end

Before we split the profit, we puttin' it back in

In the name of Ignatius Maurice Jackson

[Outro]

Yeah

Icepick Jay forever

We love you

We miss you

We gon' keep this shit solid

Your kids are straight

Everything is intact

Believe that

On everything I love

Uh, in the book of Ephesians, chapter six, verse ten

The apostle Paul says

"Be strong in the Lord in his mighty power

Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firmly

Against all strategies of the devil

Put on salvation as your helmet

And take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God

Pray in the spirit at all times and on every occasion"

So Raspy
