Hell For It

Holy spirit

When I look

I cannot see

Reflection in the mirror

Broke bread with the Judas

And I think I see it clearer

These niggas want what’s mine

But I be damn if I’m a give up

Stuck up in the hood

Praying rap would get me out

Momma ‘bout to lose her house

Gotta figure this shit out

Use to catch the bus to 12th

Just to hustle for some Prada

In the kitchen with my uncle

Beat the pot like a piñata

Baraka wit the product

Use to hide it in my closet

Type of shit

That have a fiend

Crawling on his carpet

Walking over carcasses

Of artists in my garden

Nice with the bars

Even the beat begs my pardon

Got me mistaken

Muslim salami bacon

Always on the defense

So it’s no offense taken

I’m smoking on them raisins

From the bay they taste amazing

Cajun kicking flavor

All the time

Not on occasion

Would be amazed

All the time I heard I wouldn’t make it

I was writing shit that was so damn amazing

When half these little niggas was still watching

That’s so raven

I was out there hustling

Scraping up and saving

Just to catch a 12 hour bus to NY

Sleeping on the floor in studios

Asking God why

But never got deterred

From the voice I heard inside

Tell myself everyday

The greatest that’s alive

And I'm a give em hell for it

Until it's heaven on earth

My nigga

I'm a give em hell for it

For whatever it’s worth

My nigga

I'm a give em hell for it

Unless death come first

My nigga

I’m a give em hell for it

For whatever it’s worth

My nigga

I'm a give em hell

Cause we living in that

Actavis double cups was addicted to that

Had them demons on my back

Was escaping through that

Blamed everybody but myself

Apologies for that

So they hold a nigga back

For the way that I act

People scared of doing business

Thinking I smoke crack

I react immature

To anyone talking smack

Cause where I'm from respect

The only thing that you have

Grew up virtually poor

Realities unmasked

So my task

Is inspire your future with my past

I lived through that shit

So you don’t have to go through it

Stepping stones in my life

Hot coals

Walk with me

Listen when I speak

Every time talk with me

Couple screws loose

You don't wanna start

With me

Got it from Motown

Feel David Ruffin pain

Wanna cry right now

So I’m wishing that it rain

Cause I’m knowing I’m the best

They compare skills to sales

Tell myself everyday

Know this shit ain’t real

Radio don’t make you ill

They get a hit a they feel they self

Respect for lyricism

In this game ain’t none left

Have a bitch like Iggy

Think she sicker than me

And that’s so fucked up

That’s just how this shit be

I just wanna make music

Fuck being a celebrity

Cause these songs that I write

Leave behind my legacy

And I'm a give em hell for it

Until it's heaven on earth

My nigga

I'm a give em hell for it

For whatever it’s worth

My nigga

I'm a give em hell for it

Unless death come first

My nigga

I'm a give em hell for it

For whatever it’s worth

My nigga

I'm a give em hell

I'm a give em hell
