Intro:
- "I'm here because you're my friend." (laugh)
- " (laugh) A king has no friends, A king has only... followers and foe"
V1:
Grew up putting nothing but the mob in it
Learned quickly that I need to put God in it
To the best of my ability
Exchange game while the brains got agility
Can't settle for the retail
Resist the devil, putting angels in the details
Throwing smoke in the wind
I'll exhale all my sins, let it float with my lost friends
Hook:
Lost friends... float with my lost friends
I'll exhale all my sins, throwing smoke in the wind
Let it float with my lost friеnds
Lost Friends... Float with my lost friends
Throwing smoke in thе wind, I'll exhale all my sins
Let it float with my lost friends
These type of bars release dopamine
In laymen's terms: "it's that dope I mean"
Memoirs from a purple heart
Type of scars from a human being
Blood stripes on my linens
I maxed out on my ribbons
Yet as a vet I'm feeling short changed
Expert shooter when it came to the down range

Message Over to you Now

I spit bars
Bars around the window
Bars around the front door
Coming from the ghetto
Back when my poppa used to pull me by my ear drum
Just hearing my name in his accent let me fear some (maaark)
Bamboo whippings, microwave chickens
Always had a vision, of obtaining my millions
By the grace of Christ, I live right
Forgive me for my sins committed just last night
Seems to always make a way, despite my dismal dismay
Most will hesitate to meditate when I rather pray
Behind lyrics that's: prison.... (bars)
You can feel it just like the scars
When it comes to taking advice
I think twice
Put my faith and trust in Christ... and that's life
Sure as the sun rise, raising like high tides
Gravitational pull movement for black lives
Coptic, I'm baptized, I live and relate
Oppression for years has been heavy in weight
Watching the streets burn or go out in faith
Avoiding the crooked path and keeping it straight
Hook:
"Message over to you now"
Just trying to give you that good word
"Message over to you now"
We see enough negativity as it is, know what I mean?
This ain't your Oskie Woskie, Whippa snappa typa...
"Message over to you now"
V2:
Former slave owner statue, take that down!
Throw him in the river where he once had bound
Africans and sold us into slavery
Centuries prior how ironically
We...
In 2020 got a black infantry
Looking like the panthers
Repeat history
All we want is peace and understanding
Karens and Kevin's going viral for how they're acting
Trying to justify their hate
Wearing red hats: Keep America Great
Never was it, nor is it now
Still waiting on Breonna's killers to stand trial
Hook:
"Message over to you now"
Just trying to give you that good word
"Message over to you now"
We see enough negativity as it is, know what I mean?
This ain't your Oskie Woskie, Whippa snappa typa...
"Message over to you now"

Wisdom is Wealth

Open up the blinds, thankin' God for my livin’
Forgive me for my sinning preconceived or unwilling
Blessings to the children, committed, with their vision
I remember it was written tackin out Geo Prism
Rapping about a million, somehow immune to the killing (killing, killing)
Searching for some healing, finger tips to the ceiling
Reaching with no limits on how far one can go
Scarface with ambition and a 8-ball of blow
[Chorus]
Some believe in money and how it can give you power
Some believe in Jesus and thank him for every hour
Some believe believe in pleasure, if its only for self
Searching for the riches, when wisdom is wealth
[Verse 2]
If money is a motive, make sure your motive is real (real)
Money is material, something that you can feel (feel)
And still (still)
'ceptible to thiefs that steal (steal)
For real (real)
Acceptable to evil in which that
If money is a motive, make sure your motive is real (real)
Money is material, something that you can feel (feel)
And still (still)
Susceptible to thiefs that steal (steal)
For real (real)
Acceptable to evil in which that kills
"Wisdom, nothing you desire, house of cards, can't compare ’em, with her"
[Chorus]
Some believe in money and how it can give you power
Some believe in Jesus and thank him for every hour
Some believe believe in pleasure, if its only for self
Searching for the riches, when wisdom is wealth
Some believe in money and how it can give you power
Some believe in Jesus and thank him for every hour
Some believe believe in pleasure, if its only for self
Searching for the riches, when wisdom is wealth

Visualize

Visualize
No compromise
Might improvise myself
...Jesus Christ
I apologize
For Sinning life and it’s felt
With
Family ties
I realized
I jeopardized true health, tongue can prophesize
I strategize
And utilize.... true wealth
Verse:
It’s compelling
To selling the game
Content is far from the same
Bars to picture the frame
Accolades giving the fame
Pat on the shoulder
No name
Long as you bringing the flame
Maybe they soak up and claim
Wisdom is pouring as rain
Abel fell victim to Cain
Yet we still speak on his name
Jealousy comes with the reign
Goin again—-st..the grain
Flowing like blood in the vein
Dopamine for —the brain
Dope like it’s off —the Caine
Struggling with the pain
Better off letting it drain..
De-boarding off the plane
Victim to part of the blame
Raised up to stay in your lane
Training no pain.. no gain
Simple no need to explain
This what thoughts have contained
Oppression for decades sustained
Never was bitter, complained
Regretful for choices ashamed
Whatever else it pertained
Regardless I made it, maintained
Thankful for all I’ve attained
Grateful for all I’ve obtained
None of the jungle is tame
Since adam was given as name
