Let Down (Let Nas Down Freestyle)
[Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy]
Salute
Ay yo, welcome to the high life
Fifty thousand feet of me just trying to get my mind right
Trying to move in decency and order in the limelight
I just said the limelight
That just mean they watching and clocking like Walter Cronkite
I just hope the glory that they got to give go above me
Cause I got darkness in my heart, I'm talking very ugly
I can't be fronting now, straight up and down I need grace
Mommy added, let me add sometimes I need space
I'm just a real person — behind a steel curtain
Who had some issues growing up, that stuff be still hurting
I'm just a ghetto boy who made it past 25
My cousin and I both took shots but my cousin died
On the block without no pop to teach me how to survive
About it I make no excuse and vow to never cry
I seen juice and could identify with Pac too, but rather chose to carry myself comparable to Q
Thought if I got killed what my family gon' do
I got dreams, I got dreams, still praying they come true
Wasn't the smartest, coulda did a million things better
Just wanted us to stick together like a chain letter
When me and God came together like the zipper on the the leather
It was official, wasn't no issue with no cheddar
Wasn't no pistol to my head, wasn't no threat of being dead, I'm saying
When the Lord got me it wasn't robbery, I wasn't scared
It did catch me off guard
Especially when I look back and saw how many times I was around hard cooked crack
Hand on that illegal click-clack, that Desert Eagle, get back
Or it just might crack the skull of your cerebral
The evil in this world was created for a purpose
We hate it but we just can't go and ignore His service
It is here to be a clear distinction
Of what it means to be absolutely and completely void of Jesus
Before the righteous God gave us back our real self
We repent and we believe cause we know that we need help
Psalm 119:105 is on our top shelf
But the wicked won't listen to no one else but himself. Crazy
(But the wicked won't listen to no one else but himself)
