The Message

[Produced by J. LBS & Sounwave] [Verse 1] It's like you're testing me now This my testimony, look I got that recipe now Keep that good book on the dash with that weaponry out Ain't no mo' rules in this game plus no referees out All that stressing, it taught me lessons Caught blessings, went back to stressin' And that moment when death is present Had me praying and asking questions I had no answers so I had to bottle up that aggression Load up them hollows and I had to follow in my direction Don't know where I'm headed I can't look back though, there's nothing there But backstabbers, snakes that slither, decisions when nothing's fair Keeping my faith in all, even if they come take it all Stand on my ground, I was born to fight so I'm taking off Me and my champs on a mission, work with the baddest intention Sharp as a scalpel incision Gotta survive these conditions, vengeance is like a tradition If you practice what you're preaching might just get what you wish [Hook: Vic Smitty] Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire I'm looking at these tennis shoes over the wire I know change coming [Verse 2] Now we have to get whatever we after See past the regular shit that we master Learn to survive through love and Jezebels and street pastors Live as free as we can cause Hell on Earth is being recaptured I'm caught in this ghetto rapture, spirit detached I'm smoking backwoods looking for greener pastures Hashtag we bastards, from money change to snowflakes The body found, a cold case, we making it out from no place Now can you walk in these shoes with no lace? Or push that S5-50 on shoes with no plates? I don't think so Shit is insufficient when you think slow That's why I keep one foot in the game like a flamingo But here's the thing though, picking my spots yelling, “bingo" Post it with the work, 501's with the peacoat This ain't no New Jack City and I ain't Nino Wondering if change gone come, but we gone see though [Hook: Vic Smitty] Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire I'm looking at these tennis shoes over the wire I know change coming Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire I'm looking at these tennis shoes over the wire I know change coming
