Eden

[Chorus: The Delfonics]
You're the same old girl
That lived across the street
And you're the same old girl, yeah
That I was dying to meet
Well, now you're running around

[Verse One: Six The Don]
(Uh-Uh)
P.S.A. for the evening
Preaching from the cement
Perched outside of Eden
Down the block from heathens
Mingle with the demons
Make a movie like I’m Steven
Spielberg
Keep a steel bird
That’s for the schemers
Snakes slither
Through the streets
A nigga sleeps in
Big Apple bleeding
My kids thеy barely teething
A nigga heart freezing
To feed them
I seek thе freedom
If there’s some green greed
In this garden
I got to see it
Word to Pope Pius
I can’t be driving no Prius
For them Benz on BB’s
For sheezy
I’m with the BS
Girls dressed in cheetah print
Meet with us to deceive us
You’d give a rib to see her
Deliver my ass from Eva
Fuck your union
They’ll drive a wedge in between it
Man they don’t give a shit
As long as your car is keyless
Temptation it be fierce
But only God I fear
Reclining in a lear
My vision is crystal clear
(Uh)
We need a resolution like Aaliyah
Indeed the revolution could be here
I dream of a solution with my peers
Devil whispers in their ear
Guaranteed to leave them seared
(Uh)
The loss of innocence
Forbidden fruit
That’s the fall of the ignorant
You’re free to choose
All the pure Cain I was
Able to move
Doesn’t ever add up
To the wealth I’ve accrued
(Uh)
Sins of a father
That’s
Passed through the roots
So I
Changed my moves
Can’t be
Acting no fool
Got to
Rewrite the rules
Got to
Follow the moons
It’s the fall for most
But me
I kept it cool

[Chorus: ATM, The Delfonics]
You're the same old girl
That lived across the street
(This the garden)
And you're the same old girl, yeah
That I was dying to meet
(This where the snakes dwell)
Well, now you're running around

[Verse Two: ATM]
As the world turns
And the paradise burns
The slurs can be heard
At the footsteps of the church
That’s dirt
But what’s a church
If not the congregation?
If not the spoken word
Them things that build nations
If not embodied truth
Truth is your only savior
In The Garden, where in the dark
They hide the slave ships
I fear no man
In the celestial city
Swinging my gonads
And God got my whole back
So know that
Nigga I rest my case with you
I’m seeing through, everyone
What stands up to truth?
Lucifer son of the morning
Fuck is you?
Them lies just won’t do
Disguised as false truths
I done mowed through this garden
With lack of better tools
I done plucked through lotuses
Stole a heart or two
I ate the forbidden fruit
Cause who follows rules?
Even when I make them
I break them, so no excuse
I rise just to fall again
My ugly truth
Knock me down nine times
I get up ten
As Kings do
My Queens jewels
Supreme Being
With Supreme McGriff views
Nigga vision all skewed
I Madison Squared the Garden
The Mecca
Hallelu-jah demons clashing with mine
Truth marches with my troops
See the divine
Flows in my bloodline
Meet the Tribe of the Gods
Still tied to the mob
Brick laying, boot strapped
Created my own job
Planted a field of dreams
So my kids can run around
Yeah
We building paradise boys
And you in line to be Chief
So keep ya poise

[Outro: ATM]

We gon’ brush everything off
(Uh)
As long as you know who you are
You know whose you are
You know where you're going
And you remember where you from
We gon’ be ok
(Uh)
