[Sample: Michelle Obama]
…summer jobs and more
So you, in this room, know firsthand the impact that we can have when this city truly invests in our children
And that's something I know from my own experience, which is why it was so important for me to be here—
[Chorus: PE$O PETE]
Fully loaded clips
Tightly graspin' grips
Bullets pierce and rip
Ground is full of kids
Morgue fillin' up
Like they double cups
But they don't give a shit
Only thing worse than the grip be the ink
[Verse 1: PE$O PETE]
From my black G3 pen
I'mma be [?]
Tryna speak, I'mma eat beats, then release them
Up in thesе lens, meant thesе lines
And you know when I quit lookin' through ya muhfuckin' eyes and see me for me
Rhymin' up conjuring, I'm a black mage
With the white page, ink stains, let the tears drain
Then rearrange in the sink, what's worth more?
The words from my heart or the warmth from a mink?
Hoe, think!
[Interlude 1: PE$O PETE]
Aye, man
What's the [?], man?
What's the [?], man?
What's the [?], man?
[Verse 2: PE$O PETE]
Thoughts and desires and hopes of success
Bein' squandered, diminished by omens of death
Lady Love by my side, but the day that she leaves
Body and soul gon' be left on these streets
She don't listen
She a [?] spirit
Prayed? I'm prayed, too, she religion
She present in my present, but don't ever wanna chip in
Pool full of tears like liquor, I'mma dip in
Darkness is welcoming, [?] upon [?]
Emotions sheltering, this heat is sweltering
Call me "Insane", what's a pot to a kettle?
Bitch, demons all around, inside, they all wanna settle and—
[Break: PE$O PETE & PE$O PETE (Slopped)]
You know what they tellin' me? (You know what they tellin' me?)
[Verse 3: PE$O PETE]
They sayin', "They be the real me, the sin is appealing"
I stop all that preaching and stop all that pleading
My sight go right through you and stop all the breathing
Coagulate madness straight stop all the bleeding
Cops on the block and they tryna question
I swing out my sword and I'm leavin' 'em headless
Blood on the loose-leaf 'cause blood is the message
Better watch where ya step and talk shit and I correct it
[Interlude 2: PE$O PETE]
Young and breathless
'Cause they were young and restless
And now they restin', uh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
All because of these muhfuckin'
[Chorus: PE$O PETE]
Fully loaded clips
Tightly graspin' grips
These bullets pierce and rip
Ground is full of kids
[Producer Tag: GREAF & Frank Senso]
…achieve some, sense of normalcy and routine
[Outro: PE$O PETE]
Yeah
