Valley Of Death

If I could leave this place

With a smile on my face

The meek shall inherit the Earth

I'd give up everything

That's what the Bible says

Just to make you happy

But we both know, oh

This ain't how life goes

I need it

We could build our own world

But the streets keep calling me

Walk like a giant, talk like a tyrant

Faith of a mustard seed, destined for a triumph

David or Goliath, hate me or admire

Kush burns slow as I chase my desires

Embrace my empire, Batty Boy, eat fire

Guns like choirs, when they sing, keep quiet

Will I get to heaven? Turn to Psalm 27

Lord knows when I see this monkey, I'ma be the devil

Beat him 'cause I'm clever, beat him at whatever

You never was a G, ****, Unit mean together

New York unified, down south, love that

When we got to shine, motherfuckers, where the love at?

Real **** getting money, better log on

Think the game dead now? Imagine when your dog gone

Imagine when it's all gone

When your phone off, there's only one to call on

If I could leave this place

I mean, if I died today

With a smile on my face

I could honestly say

I'd give up everything

Thank You, Lord

Just to make you happy

Thank You, Lord

But we both know, oh

Thank You, Lord

This ain't how life goes

We could build our own world

But the streets keep calling me

I'm bigger than a title, bigger than a name

You could label me the biggest label in the game

Put food on the table, fed the whole city

Tell me who be the fool if the Feds come get me

Steady years are better when you're called a trend setter

The world so cold, hope you got a little sweater

Caught a little case, but he had a little cheddar

Play it out the fifteen, poured his life in a letter

Very first line, he called Trick Daddy stupid

Say he got AIDS, telling people that it's Lupus

Not the one just to jump to conclusions

I'm getting money, small talk can be a nuisance

Broke chains, reminiscing to them nooses

Sitting on deuces, new Land Cruisers

Who the fuck you calling losers?

You **** losing, look like you could use us

If I could leave this place

When I bought my first Run DMC vinyl

With a smile on my face

And my first 2 Live Crew cassette

I'd give up everything

Just to make you happy

But we both know, oh

I woulda cried if I knew I would be where I'm at today

This ain't how life goes

We could build our own world

Took me forty minutes to walk there to buy it

But the streets keep calling me

Call your boy a C.O., but if I really was

When all these **** undercover fucking **** up

Keep it trilla, ****, never had a gun and badge

Kept a nice watch, smoking on a hunnid sacks

Back in the day, I sold crack for some nice kicks

Skipping school, I saw my friend stabbed with an ice pick

Young ****, fifteen, with three seeds

From that very day, I carried on the three C's

Can't criticize **** tryna get jobs

Better get smart, young brother, live yours

Only live once and I got two kids

And for me to feed them, I got two gigs

I shovel shit, I'd C.O.

So we can bow our head and pray over the meatloaf

I'm looking at the big picture

Keep a bitch with you, tryna get a bit richer

If I could leave this place

With a smile on my face

I remember praying for

I'd give up everything

For me just to get the

Just to make you happy

The opportunity to, to have a record deal

But we both know, oh

This ain't how life goes

And now I sign artists

We could build our own world

But the streets keep calling me

Thank you, Lord
