Witnessed the end of our fair lady
A million pieces lost at sea
Ruined is the crew
Thats setting sail with me
Oh Lord were sinking, God knows we fall
Set sail for Heaven, pray my soul wont get lost
Pray God accepts me, I know Im wrong
But weve been shipwrecked, since we were born
It was 91st first and Langley, we was 6 Deep
Steppin up the stairs black Buick with a slick creep
Moving down the block we had froze froze
Felt the tension in my toes Man who is that? I dont know
Driving slow, man, he probably throwed
See we was thrown off, it was New Years Eve
I still remember when my baby lungs blew them trees
I still felt like a saint when I drew that breeze
On the corners was I hangin never bangin
But I knew them Gs, its been tragic
Since Boy Meets World been savaged
But the goal was never really the beef, its been cabbage
We kill for it, when we die we cant have it
But we cant kill the habit holdin onto this boat til we shipwreck
So we swim upon the shore, I die on sand before the dawn
I watch my niggas die of afraid what could I fear
They say the waves will wash our sin
That we were black because our skin
I know we gazed upon the promise, but Im not sure
Ive been in these waters like the Titanic
Waves crashed down, you wouldve thought a nigga drowned
But Im staring at the sky like Why panic?
Dont you know who I pray to? Weve been lookin like prey
I just caught this shit at the prelude, peace, I been keepin it
Step into the wools, forever a black sheep to the herd
How you not heard about this nigga?
You think you feelin the flow somewhere in the ceiling, Im not hot
Trust Ill be bringin it, a nigga get it like Pop pop!
Ive been trying to give them whats good
But dont call it food for thought
Shit taste like a hot fry
Shit had a nigga so thirsty
I couldnt see straight it was like I was cock-eyed
Fam, tell them what youve seen on the southside
Tell them, tell them where you been, nigga
Tell them where youre going
Cold park whenever I was outside
Somebody shootin nigga
Even when its snowing, in the cold
You could see the people thirsty
Well, I gotta little water right here
You heard me, all you gotta do is take a sip
And I dont want your souls, and I dont want your gold
I just do it for the Free my nigga dont trip
Dont trip, I do it for the Free, my nigga dont trip
Dont trip, I do it for the Free, my nigga dont trip
Dont trip
Ten thousand tiny soldiers marching right through my heart
Couldnt keep me at bay
