Heavy metals on my sword, we settle arduous disputes right this moment
The ghetto Hollywood divorce, say hi there to your future destiny
The tradition bred with carnivores, you let ’em snack, they eat your face
The signatures is being solid
They marvel why I am not enthused to drop
The extra seen you get, the extra your religious is tried
It is cynical to say I do know these artists petrified
The top lead to jail by Jezebel or drugged up filled with lies
Vital, I do know my bodily is examined on a regular basis
I am pitiful, sunken place quickly as I am questionin’ in my delight
I am seeing ghosts, blackin’ out, relapse
And one-third of the time, I spare no feeling that ain’t mine

I imply, a ni**a marvel what Lecrae would do
Terrace Martin mentioned I am mentally with layers, true
I flood the market with my finest regards, I paid your dues
And so it is up, should you ain’t one in every of ours, it is dangerous information
My ni**a Jay Estrada mentioned I gotta burn it right down to construct it up
That affirmation actual as fuck, it ain’t too many actual as us
Lockin’ in to what I belief
Wanting outdoors, the youngsters reside tomorrow ’trigger right this moment the occasion simply died
