All praises, but some days I think my demons winning
I say a prayer for forgiveness and my future sinning
It’s been a minute, I apologize for preaching
But I know somebody listening I’m just trying to reach em
I grew up with heathens we learn Ephesians at First Baptist
Bible School, before them older dude started trapping
I started rapping and had dreams of being platinum plus
Came a long way from laughing on back of the bus
Should be happy for us we the ones who made it
I know some boys who crashed hard and their stars faded
God dealt these cards I played em, never had to bluff
Paid dues ignored fools who be acting tough
I know life gets hard, and it feels like God but he ain’t listening
You gotta keep the faith in your heart
Cause even when the skies get dark your soul glistening
You gotta keep your head up
I know sometimes you get fed up
You gotta keep your head up
I know sometimes you get fed up
I pledge allegiance to the righteous
Sinners praying Christians judging while I write this
Earth is where all the hype is, It's really hell here
They Pro-Life but don’t be worried about your welfare
Naw this ain’t political, I’m just being cynical
We know the love ain’t conditional
Swear they being being biblical but worshiping false prophets
Like scriptures, my negro spirituals paint pictures
This the return of the real I’ve been this I’ll you wasn’t listening
This the Spirit of Shakur pay attention
I know life gets hard, and it feels like God but he ain’t listening
You gotta keep the faith in your heart
Cause even when the skies get dark your soul glistening
You gotta keep your head up
I know sometimes you get fed up
You gotta keep your head up
I know sometimes you get fed up

Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool
This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool
Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool
40 Acres and mule, still never paid them dues
Knee in the neck, can’t get no respect they ain't never had them views
Act like my skin is my sin, then try to pretend like everything cool
The power been trippin, never had freedom, only permission, I’m breaking them rules
My black life matter for a hashtag, they still wanna put him in a body bag
What the hell he think he doing with his black ass
Trying educate these people over trap claps
And that's fat facts
The spirit of Pac in my veins, we finally breaking them chains
But I still see racist faces, on top of self hate can’t escape the matrix
And we all plead the 5th, Then we call it myth
Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this shit
How we all plead the 5th, and then call it myth
Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool
This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool
Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool
I’m black and I’m proud, but that don't make me better than the next man
I’m black and I’m proud, but that don’t make anybody else less than
I’ll say it out loud, but they still don’t hear me
They just wanna make the gun go pow, my skin tone make them fear me
Land of the free, home of the brave, my people were slaves when that song was written
Keep that on the hush, back of the bus, think about us you might feel something different
They don't want to listen, these people been trippin
They’d rather be living like Jim Crow alive
I’m under suspicion, but still on my mission thinking about how many didn't survive
And we all plead the 5th, Then we call it myth
Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this shit
How we all plead the 5th, and then call it myth
Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool
This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool
Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool

Fake Ones

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
Hear a lot of people talking but they ain't God
Lost my religion and my vision got 20 20
Now I’m skating on faith, like Lil Penny
Did it the Hardaway, should have went the smarter way
Dreams still in motion never got a way
Now my team in motion like a fast break
Came a hella long way, no more last place
Had to re-adjust my focus hop back in the booth
Man I do this when I wanna you know i'm the truth
Kinfolk what it do, they be like where you been
You was gone a long time they let some suckers in
Well it’s is again, we up again, I don't even know why we discussing them
Levitated finally made it to a better me
Big homie say shine gone let em see
See they be talking down when you be coming up
Soon as you making they be running up
Acting like they day ones that they day ones
But all i see is fake ones a bunch fake ones
And you can play dumb but I came to win
Me and my la familia and a bunch of friends
I'm just trying to see it all before the world ends
Homie we just trying to ball while the world spins
Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture
My intentions to get richer off this grind and this ambition
Competition in the mirror, vision getting clearer
On a mission and my destination way beyond your conversation
Running from my expiration trying to catch my fate
I've been no showing on destiny I hope I'm not too late
And its hard to say my grace with this temptation on my plate
Feast or famine, understand that dammit all we got is faith
Love or hate it we gone celebrate this melanated pride
Basically I’m saying either way we bout to slide
You can ride or collide with, America’s a mosh pit
And it’s all for the profit
The blind lead the blind, the rich rob the poor
The politicians crooked but its worse than before
Everybody keeping score, buy ain't nobody winning
We just want war I think it’s over in a minute
See they be talking down when you be coming up
Soon as you making they be running up
Acting like they day ones that they day ones
But all i see is fake ones a bunch fake ones
And you can play dumb but I came to win
Me and my la familia and a bunch of friends
I'm just trying to see it all before the world ends
Homie we just trying to ball while the world spins
Come with me, Run quick see
What do we have here now
Come with me, Run quick see
What do we have here now

Nightcap

Fell off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Feel off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Blessing, Blessing, Blessings see them all around
Blessing, Blessing, Blessing please keep falling down
Trying to clear my conscience, stressing over nonsense
Halo on my head, but on my back it feels like monsters
Me against myself or is it me again the world
Check my mental health I swear these bars are black pearls
Shining in the darkness, reflecting off the moon light
Trying to catch a wave, cowabunga to this new life
Fell off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Feel off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Praying for some better days the world is going crazy
Wifey bout to have another baby
People acting shady don’t wanna see the truth
Rather plant a lie but don’t wanna reap the fruit
Run, Pass, Shoot, but they don’t wanna see you flexing
Hide behind the troops and try to misconstrue the message
Sign a new deal, a few guaranteed mil
As long as you don’t kneel while you people getting killed
Fell off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Feel off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Daddy put me out I had just turned 19
Academic probation paper chasing smoking sweets
Had a homie serving fiends baggy jeans tall tee
He told me make a promise don’t get caught up in these streets
Starting rapping over beats and Bailey put me in the game
Shout out Big Clay and Nathan Mackey on gang
Lessons that I learned still embedded in my brain
So I’m praying for some change, while I’m praying for some change
Fell off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that
Feel off for a minute but I’m right back
Faded off this life this a nightcap
Drowning in this pain no life jacket
No umbrella for the rain mayne it’s like that

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
This the life and grind, you know i keep my dreams in motion
Heart like Conan, Never been afraid of no man
Still swing my swords on tracks, Barbarian flow when I rap
Use to want to put my area code on the map
Now I'm trying to make them feel these bars up on Mars
Man I’m talking way way way way up
Been down I’m stay up
Like No-dose, Oh no he still still in it
Leak that trill gotta deal with it
I let my soul glow, told kinfolk back in 04
I'm run with it, done done did it
Still going in having fun with it
But I'm serious, Act like y'all ain't hearing this
Flow so mean it’s furious
But I’m nice though, Like Michael
Jordan, Jackson, always bout that action
Taylor boy on the track bout to dash on em
Like Kerley boy, you heard me boy mash on em
Finish line all y'all coming after me
Make em say ugh like Master P

Fall down 7 stand up 8
Yeah it’s all good but I’m trying to be great
Dream big, work hard never quit, have faith
Boys talk down but won’t say it to my face
Praying for my downfall I'm keep them waiting
Tell them keep on hating man that’s just motivation
Praying for my downfall I'm keep them waiting
Tell them keep on hating man that’s just motivation
It’s a celebration pour libations make a toast
I’m just doin' me but some of y'all be doing the most
7-4 born and raised it’s engraved on my heart
Taylormade always reppin I know how to play my part
On your mark, get set, lets go, came a long way on this journey/
Life and grind all the time dreams in motion higher learning/

Visions from the most high
Had a dream I could fly
Woke up said might as well try
Swing down sweet chariot let us ride
Visions from the most high
Had a dream I could fly
Woke up said might as well try
Swing down sweet chariot let us ride
This my Funkadelic flow from the mothership it’s cosmic
Probably way beyond your logic
The truth is out the closet, these bars are heaven sent
Don’t matter how you feel cause it’s really irrelevant
No sign of intelligence, the elephant in the room
My power my melanin, I just might fly to the moon
And assume we’ll be leaving here soon
Spaceship zoom, either that or the tomb
Visions from the most high
Had a dream I could fly
Woke up said might as well try
Swing down sweet chariot let us ride
Visions from the most high
Had a dream I could fly
Woke up said might as well try
Swing down sweet chariot let us ride
