[Intro]
Yo Cease'?
Turn the lights down dude
Grab me a drink too
Hope you enjoy the journey so far
Okay, look
[Verse]
I see the pain in my mama eyes
Traumatized, living for the moment like I'm 'bout to die
Lock and load with my head to the sky
I feel the fuel ignitin' through the spirit inside
I've been broke for a couple years
Never stole in a hundred tears
Let them know that there's trouble near
A quiet man, calculating silly schemes
Pay attention, this is what a soldier really need
I need Christ, need life, need a couple stacks
Need to tell a story
A legacy, I'ma build that
I need a bad bitch, who gon' satisfy my thirst
But at first, I need a hundred grand just to make it work
Passion, this passion is persistent
I spend time in a zone, patiently listening
I grew cold when my father died in '09
Now my soul dark but I'm searching for a hope sign
For a hope sign
Light a candle, oh my
Treasure these words, yes this passion is a gold mine
I'ma hold mine, beautiful is poetry
Beautiful is potent see
Beautiful is music, when music is supposed to be
Post to be, the poster minds of a tragic life
Best believe cause a legend is what I'm close to being
Yes, I said a legend's what I'm close to being
But you don't hear me though
I see the signs, military mind state
Lyrically I rhyme great but missing is the shine, wait
Take a second, pay attention here's the crime wave
Fuck it with these bars, I'ma grind 'til my time late
Yes, this The Devil'z Playground
Bitches on their knees, I suggest they stay down
Baby up and left, I guess it's hard to stay down
Y'all been sleeping for a couple, think it's time you wake now
Huh, I think it's time you wake now
Grab a glass, share a toast with a great now
Working very hard, I hope my mama stay proud
Still looking for a place I can put my weight down
This is business but the business is crooked too
So tell me if they placed you in my shoes what you would do
Would you cruise in the streets in Mini Coupes?
Couple dudes gripping on them tools like foolish crooks
The show goes on, this a soldier's song
Been walking with this pain, now my shoulder's numb
Matter fact, I think my heart still numb
And as long as you keep winning, watch them hoes keep coming
I never lie Black, I just tell the truth
Crucify through the beat
Throw a bush, through the booth
I'm living proof of a legend
I know God got me, cause my move's a blessing
I move with intention
I choose independence
And everytime I write, I'm a slave to the music
Oh God, I'm a slave to the music
I try to break the chain but my show stay lucid
Make music 'til the music make money
I make music cause there's nothing left to take from me
Not saying I'm the best but I got the best running
Not saying please invest but don't wait 'til I'm winning
That's a bitch move
This is what a king do
This is how a king move, producing what they sing to
Usually just breathe through these pages on my verse book
Small circle, no squares, no ackles
The game dirty, don't blink cause they'll hurt you
And real talk, they underestimate my words too
Dear Lord, please show me what I must do
Baby I'm sorry but I gotta grow to trust you
Underrated is an understatement
I'm underpaid, underplayed, this is fuckin' tragic
I gotta pray for a way for a fuckin' classic!
Cause every day is a blessing, every song is magic
"P put the pen down"
Fuck that for real, I'd rather put the bread down
Been through too much shit, you see my head down?
That's cause my head bowed, I know God got a n***a back for real
[Outro]
(The show must go on)
(The show must go on)

(The show must go on)
(The show must go on)
