Steeple

[Verse]
Big weight, Makaveli play for higher stakes
Fuck your take
I need the lion's share all on my plate
Mask your fate
Soul gold fuck yeah diamond chain
Got a vendetta with the reaper for taking mine away
Manifestations of what they call a mad man
Live to die born to live
Ironic and sad dance
They stole our story
Fed us bullshit as a severance
And crucified us when we defy 'em there's no balance
Simplify us and divide us as we lose our stance
Every time I speak to God I feel like it's my last chance
Dad asking why I got gun
Looking at me crazy
Shit, you would too if you had cops almost shoot at you lately
Put a gun to my fade for being Black on a Friday
Still getting killed cause racism alive say
What constitutes the mass incarceration of the youth
Cause we selling dimes and ounces, what you want a cut too?
While they pushing coke and dope under prescriptions is cool
Funny when the lines crossed you can't tell who's who
Klansmen in white cars with lights flashing red and blue
Cold when they put a price on your hood and make you move
You come back next year got people looking down on you
All these fermented evils, burning on a steeple
Watching greed turn profits/prophets out of people
Mosh pit in my cathedral
Dancing with demons, God
Praying to angels while sinning
Counterproductive odds
Move with a Glock since Dan man got shot
Used to be scared of the cops
But fuck it I'll make one drop
In Maryland watching peasants acting holier than ever
Drinking poison, eating shitty, lies waiting for the better days
Praise goes to a dollar wasted on false intentions
While I copped a .40 clip that drips up out my weapon
Hope I don't gotta use it cause funerals ain't fun
But I'll lay you to rest forever before mine comes
Ain't you tired of feeling numb to all of this fuck shit?
Ain'y you tired of feeling alone up in the function?
Ain't you tired of doing the same shit and getting nothing?
Ain't you tired of your friends turning enemies and fronting?
Shit, I know I am
Can't tell no one your plans
Cause the ones right beside you be the ones after your bands
The ones right beside you be the ones hitting the stands
The ones right beside you would kill you for the same chance
The ones right beside you trying to fuck on your girl
Too smart to play dumb
My heads on a swivel, the world twirls
I woke up trying to stomach all my problems and hurled
Rose up under the liquor
My liver 'bout to give up
Remember me and my brother bagging up tryna make our own luck
My mama cried over this
Some partners died over this
Some serving life over this
Some gave their loves all for this
So don't play games
Don't say names
I got ice in my veins bitch
I don't need a chain
Move smart I'm a scholar
All praises to my momma
Didn't run away from problems
Learned how to move with these monsters
Start it up
