The Passage

[Intro: Big Hoodoo]
Let me wing it
This is for everybody that thinks they don't have a chance

[BLAC]
There's something I got to tell ya
Aye na na

[Big Hoodoo]
It's been a long time coming

[BLAC]
B-L-A-C

[Big Hoodoo]
Let me say a prayer

[BLAC]
Big Hoodoo
Listen I'mma tell ya

[Chorus: BLAC]
Everybody lose sometimes
Doesn't mean you're that weird
Yeah
Light the fire that's inside you
Shine up from it did
Yeah
Never give up on yourself (on yourself)
The realest shit I'll ever tell ya
Yeah
All I ever really wanted was to never be a failure
No, no, no, no, no

[Verse 1: Big hoodoo]
Walk a mile in my shoes and see how it feel to lose
Spend a second in my skin and see how it feel to win
If it wasn't for my family then I'd probably be resting in a jail cell in the darkest corners of hell
But I'm underground around the world rocking the crowd
Getting wild. blowing loud, keeping my head in the clouds
It's been a while since I felt like, life when I'm out
But I never gave up on myself, I know that's what counts
Used to sit up on that couch all day, writing and listen to things
Then I would hustle all night, risking my life on these streets
On the block, banging hard like I'm cripping
Pistol gripping so they never catch me slipping, but they did
I was just a kid that didn't really know shit
But I got schooled real quick
As the pages of life turned the chapters get written
Always felt like one day I'd be here to ask you to listen
Cause on this path I was driven

[Chorus: BLAC]
Everybody lose sometimes
Doesn't mean you're that weird
Yeah
Light the fire that's inside you
Shine up from it did
Yeah
Never give up on yourself (on yourself)
The realest shit I'll ever tell ya
Yeah
All I ever really wanted was to never be a failure
No, no, no, no, no

[Verse 2: BLAC]
Gained control of my tantrums
I wish I walked with the panthers
I stay reciting my anthems
The pain in my brain comes from containing the things
These bastards won't give me the answers for
Resort to my meditations cause talk is the lowest form of communication
Fuck it, I'm going beyond an [anomie?]
An acquired taste that is already brewing the perfect storm
Confusion is the illusion that we can never be more
Connections to the outer limits is deep inside of us all
Distracted by every tactic that's entertaining us all
The Lotus flower affect like I'm Percy Jackson
Pre-missing the deep connection
I shock as they shocking
And girls like Shakira Shakira
Yeah they up for seduction
Vanity got these bitches losing they lives over action Jackson's
They one nugget short of a Happy Meal
They losing they mind to the times
Instead of finding 'em
Re-lost in the phase that is placed right in front of 'em

[Chorus: BLAC]
Just because ya lose sometimes
Doesn't mean you're that weird
Yeah
Light the fire that's inside you
Shine up from it did
Yeah
Never give up on yourself (on yourself)
The realest shit I'll ever tell ya
Yeah
All I ever really wanted was to never be a failure
No, no, no, no, no

[Bridge: BLAC]
I told 'em I would never back down (yeah, yeah)
You should see the way they act now
Like they think we made a hit by chance
Nah, I've been going hard from the start
Is all a part of the job
And there ain't no ever turning back now
Because we're loving where we at now

[Verse 3: BLAC]
Time and time again
Time and time again
To them they're not, not matter who you are
We time it all up and
To see a friend
Sometimes jealousy will take a hold of them because they want, see ya dupled but never butts hard on them
So you never really know how close and really true your friend
Until he want to live and rise in every rivers I depend
See the life we are living so I'm bitter sweet
And aren't allowed to be
But now take to eat
And I'll wreck art for the people
And I've still never been cheap enough
I try my best, but when I can it's still a problem
Till I realized that I can do better without him
Everybody looking for a handout in this life
They be scheming every day until they feel that wrong is right
Them not know 'bout nine to five
Them not know 'bout sacrifice
Them not know nothing but winning
All they do is losing life, yeah
Well some things, it's under them for
Them awfully learn quick
Learn to run for them girl, yeah

[Verse 4: Big Hoodoo]
Yeah I give it to 'em like no other
A hard life was my mother and hood niggas my brothers
I got no love for suckers and jealous motherfuckers praying for my downfall
I still got love but I don't never hang around y'all
I learned a while ago, niggas could give a fuck about you
They only around you for the shit that they can get up out you
Claiming they fam but they scram when the chips are down
Say they yo man but act brand new and wanna switch around
Salute my soldiers like the general of the underground
Throw up yo dub cees if you rep the Wicked Clowns
I'd give it to 'em like a sermon when I'm in the booth
Turn on the lights, turn up the mic and I just let loose
From the gutter and the sewer, underneath the hood
An outcast and they label me misunderstood
And people fear what they can't understand
So it was clear they was never gonna give me a chance

[Chorus: BLAC]
Everybody lose sometimes
Doesn't mean you're that weird
Yeah
Light the fire that's inside you
Shine up from it did
Yeah
Never give up on yourself (on yourself)
The realest shit I'll ever tell ya
Yeah
All I ever really wanted was to never be a failure
No, no, no, no, no
Just because you lose sometimes
Doesn't mean you're that weird
Yeah
Light the fire that's inside you
Shine up from it did
Yeah
Never give up on yourself (on yourself)
The realest shit I'll ever tell ya
Yeah
All I ever really wanted was to never be a failure
No, no, no, no, no

[Bridge: BLAC]
Failure
Never know failure
Failure, failure
Never know failure
Never know failure
Never know failure
Never know failure
Never know failure
Na na na na na
Hey
Yeah yeah
Bless up
