Worldly Ways

[Sample:] Why don't you put some fuckin drums in the music? [Hook: X2] Shit I ain't gon' lie I write my thoughts down and make those rhyme You don't like that real shit that real shit Then pay no mind [Verse 1:] I'm what it is Combined with what it could be On the edge take a flight if you push me In the end where the fight over good things Prefer death over life as a pussy Throw em on they heads More than they know That mean I'm only mine and it tortures they soul Had to leave to Portland to grow Saw the same caught a plane And landed just short of my goals It ain't no performin at shows Looking forward to hoes backstage Wit a quarter to blow More like me and shorty don't go It's important to know Your favorite artists are corporately owned Bet they ignored us at first Shot us down And companies wanna come and jump in now Benefit from our circumstances Market us Turn around and put us on trial Fuck them cut it out They hustlin us they runnin out Rap makes cash for they campaign ads They run at us We run our mouth They run the biz We run it round Run the game They run the town We run in place So i make my own lane If they get in my way Imma run them down Run them down [Hook:] So please forgive me for my worldly ways I do my dirt to dig myself up out this early grave And brush my shoulders off Like please no i prefer to stay I light it up and see myself inside that burning flame So please forgive me for my worldly ways [Bridge:] "The past can be renounced but not destroyed" I brush my shoulders off "it rebuilds itself almost unconsciously" Light it up "I remember their sin no more" Burning flame [Verse 2:] My lifetime is war-torn Scars show Fine wine (import one?) I was told A wise man Explores (nourish?) All right fine Throw a lifeline Why should my grind support yours "why don't you put some fuckin' drums in the music" All right fine Why shouldn't my grind support yours We need Somethin to believe in Hustle for a reason Don't repeat the cycle that we stuck in on the street No it ain't enough until enough of us are dreamin Don't support mine Unless it's somethin you believe in Don't support his Unless it's somethin you believe in Only rock for it If you love it Then you mean it Just hustle where i lead em Business of women I don't fuck em and just leave em Believe me Leadin ain't easy You gon get more shit then you give And take on others weaknesses Believe me I seen it I'm exactly where I need to be Peep it Where you find me you can leave me Searching for peace Kinda like graffiti Where they (pollyin?) and beefin' Hollerin' and screamin' Y'all seem to remind me Of them politicians schemin All that bitching on the scene So I'm piloting the region (fly it in the wing?) Wit a drone spot (pilot?) When it's flyin over eden Pardon what I mean Is the garden that I be in With my partner Trimmin' in the mornin' Guard it in the evenin' Think about the karma that I'm bringing outta An audience can see That I'm heartless on a beat Not even part of it is beatin Marketing an artist Harboring a demon A monster with a conscience So I'm constantly thinkin' [Hook:] [Hook 2:] So please forgive em for they worldly ways They grab that shovel Do that dirt and dig that early grave They brush they shoulders off But it seems that all the dirt has stayed They think they hot don't they Now watch em burn in flames
