Be

Tell me you ain't never lost before
I can see you lying through your teeth
Tell me how they got money for war
But n**** still sleeping in the street
I done did a lot of shit before
But baby those were all lessons for me
I'm not one for settling no scores
But this shot ain't one the buzzer beat
N*** I ain't perfect I wont lie
But I got a heart worthy of praise
I know n***** hate the fact that I'm
Not a n*** comfortable in place
I'm not one for stagnation, oh no
I get restless sleeping in one space
Can't stay for extended time cause I
Know some n*** trying to take my place

I can be so wrong
I can so loud
I can be left, right
Sometimes I'm up down
I'm never too clear
I can be headstrong
I can evoke fear
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate it
Life can be so hard
Shit got me jaded
Mama I made it

I ain't ever been too pressed on first impression
Cause I know that once you show me who you are I'll get the message I
Like to think that I'm not striving for perfection
I got so many perceptions of the person I've developed my
Intuition not too far from superstition
I can read through your intentions
I don't fuck with all these middle men
Hope my lover has a mind just like my mother
And is down just like my brother
So I know that I'm not settling
Is your homie really down or he just say he is
I don't play about my loved ones I'll go spray his ends
Just to leave a message n***** fuck you thought this was
Fuck you up and leave you stuck little n**** just because
I don't beef
Don't have my business in the streets
And when I play I play for keeps
A Shepard guiding all the sheep to elevate their minds
And reach their highest self but I don't speak about my life cause n***** leech
I give my word, but I don't preach

This heart is chilling
The pain sustained is all revealing
Itself to me to set me free but I don't bother feeling
I live for life cause I know that we not too far from ending
I stay present, her time's a present
Mind, soul, body healing
I give over what I'm supposed to make my offerings
To ancestors and God's cause I know they work through all measures
Sacrifice so I can live life as I'm meant to be
I won't wander
I'll play my part until it's lights out for me
Silly n*** now how you figure you'd get off on me
No I don't speak it, I just peep shit
Oh you've lost to me
No I don't creep shit, I just see shit
The right time and place
Summoned to East-wick best believe
I'll come and take my place
No I don't hide, boy I'm divine
So I will show my face
When I pull my 9 and caps start flying
I'll show up with some haste
I would be lying if I told you
I don't face no hate
That I don't give in I always win
I think I rest my case
