Be Still

I wake up every morning feeling like slapping a nigga

Squeeze trigger, stay scheming then I realize I'm still dreaming

Oops, psych! believing in believers ability to still scream for a nigga till you get nosebleeds

I be so scuffed up from kicking them rocks

And if you're so tough come run up and get clocked

Tick tock tock tock

If you got them slippery socks

Yo i'mma give it all that i got

To make a nigga slide in the vault

Then bake a nigga dash in some salt

I bring a nigga home and pole vault

Then blame a nigga like it's your fault

(you're fault!)

I never understood and i will never understand

The tolerance for ho-ishness that some of you people have

Me? You, yeah you

I'm talking to the middle man

Like how you're content with giving someone else the upper hand

Walking around your cubicle, your tie with your coffee mug

Syphoning the hard earned work from the thugs and hustlers, cuz

Takin a chill pill before i whip my sword out like uma in kill bill

Makin niggas gasp like Emmitt Till

And i'mma keep on giving you the gospel like God's will, Peace! Be Still

This is God's will peace be still

Can I fall in love before the world ends?

Can my record get a few major spins? I'm saying

I don't wanna think about tomorrow because i'm still hustling

Until then, i guess it's just me, you, theses food stamps and cravings

No raisins in the sun, just Funyins and a Sunkist, we up in the club making it mist

Like a missed alcohol (though i see it every night)

And that tylenol i take everyday period like midil

Bye y'all, i'm moving on to other things by y'all

But not quite bilateral, more like three floors up and down the hall

Let the bygones be bygones, and try to keep the peace like Obama and Biden

All my friends are talented, all my friends got mad skills

All my girlfriends wear heels, all my niggas drug deal

We're tight (psych!)
