[Intro: Spiga]
How sweet it is, yo

[Verse 1: Spiga]
Who want it
Raw? Never beat around the bush or [?]. On rap
Wires, known to jux, start a nigga with ease. You cock
And squeeze or copping pleas? Which is it? But circumstances
Are different, whether you set it or they pay you a visit
It’s time for war—set aside fear and doubt. You now tamper
With forces of nature that you know nothing about, and what’s
Worse: at the point where hope is lost, she’d been taught that chasing
Paper’s such a sport. We changed the name of our resort
To Sodom and Gomorrah. Feel sorry for ya, but you can tour
The world at the low-low price of your soul, and if
You act now, while supplies last, the lone with eternal
Torment and flames, you get a free cup of gas
Flame on—it’s getting hot now. Don’t stop now. Started
Painting the scene with pain—now it’s all pop now
I got ya, seen you coming in visions. Listen, I came to build
So kindly step down and take position—you’re dismissed. Now
That’s sweet

[Verse 2: Spiga]
Pick
Your heart up, dropped it back between getting paper and women
From your lip to cutting whips from the beginning, knew you wasn’t ‘bout
Nothing but chicken. At the shores of the jaw, been smelling like
Sin and acting like you need a reason to start swimming
You’re full of it, nigga. Get in—there’s room for everybody in your party
It’s better to be baptized by the Father than the shottie
Repent before it’s too late, follow the straight and narrow
For the ones holding you back, a face is lurking in shadows
Too late—it happened. Retreat. You need to make peace. I see
Demons stay in your food, and you’ve been eating for weeks. Every
Step and breath you take is documented, photocopied, and copy-
-written ‘til the lobby of the Garden probably’ll witness
Your sloppy spitting, every hot you’re licking, stocking from women
But I ain’t hating, I’m simply not forgetting. My only
Desire’s to be forgiven before I go, but I’m only human
So don’t push me or I’ll make sure you go either with me or before
You’re so sweet

[Verse 3: Spiga]
It don’t get much realer than this—see what you missed? Like
Love’s first kiss, you’re still waiting for it to happen, or, worse
You left it back aways and trying to capture back
What you lost, left your hearts off, drawing a blank. You need
A hug, fam? Most of us do, none of us will, most
Of us lie, some of die, some of us killed, all of
Us bleed, some of us need a little more peace. The rest’ll
Piece together what’s left of their pride and feed The Beast. Wise
Up and rise to the next chapter, but when you call
Police, be sure to tell ‘em that they should bring you a pastor
Matter of fact, bring in your pack ‘cause you ain’t the only one Death is
Coming after—it’s just that he coming for you faster
Don’t worry, I put in a good word, you hood nerd. Listen to verb
Dinner is served, and you the main course, kissing the bird
I see you blushing, I ain’t got to reach you for nothing to get you
Jumping. Figured God put me here to push your buttons before
He coming. Ain’t you sweet?
