Poe Mans Dreams (His Vice) [feat. GLC]

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

I used to want to see the penitentiary, way after elementary

Thought it was cool to look the judge in the face when he sentenced me

Since my uncles was institutionalized

My intuition had said I was suited for family ties

My momma is stressin', my daddy tired

I need me a weapon, these **** ride

Every minute, hour, and second, ministers tried to save me

How I'm gon' listen when I don't even hear God?

Heaven or Hell, base it all on my instincts

My hands dirty, you worried 'bout mud in your sink

You like to mistake a street **** for real ****

The same **** that kill with you'll squeal with ya

I deal with ya like my son, stare at the sun

And you'll be lookin' in my eyes, homie

Stand for something or fall for anything

And you working with two left feet at the skating rink

But anyway, this for my ****

Uncles, twenty-three hours sendin' me pictures

I want you to know that I'm so determined to blow

That you hear the music I wrote

Hope it get you off Death Row

You came home to a pocket full of stones

A Metro PC phone, then you went back in

So when I touch the pen, the pen is in my view

I'ma get it right, just so you

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

And I do this for the city

Got some Hennessy and my real **** with me

Fuck the police, they gon' have to come and get me

If it feel good to you, holler if you hear me

You like to mistake a street **** for real ****

The same **** that kill with ya'll squeal with ya

I like to start it out from the bottom and build with ya

Be on my last dollar and split the bill with ya

I'm twenty-three with morals and plans of livin' cordial

Not rich, but wealthy

There's nothin' you can tell me

My killings are not remorseful

The city got my back

And for that I give them my torso

You think about it

And don't call me lyrical

'Cause really I'm just a **** that's evil and spiritual

I know some rappers usin' big words

To make their similes curve

My simplest shit be more pivotal

I penetrate the hearts of good kids and criminals

Worrisome individuals that live life critical

So won't you bear witness while I bare feet?

So you can walk in my shoes and get to know me

But anyway, this for my pops

On his lunch break, eatin' in that parking lot

On 'Wanna Be Heard' probably thought he worked my nerves

But really he was stressin' me gettin' what I deserved

Somebody said my name on the radio

He ain't know I was ready for the world that minute

So the next time he roll up and drop grams in it

He'll probably be out of work, laid back, while he

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

Smoke good, eat good, live good

And I do this for the city

Got some Hennessy and my real **** with me

Fuck the police, they gon' have to come and get me

If it feel good to you, holler if you hear me

Church is definitely on the move

And now we done took it up to the cathedral

'Cause the 'ism' is enormous

You know what I'm talking 'bout?

We out here rotatin' under the five Ps

Proper preparation prevents poor performance

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Doin' my thing

'Cause I'm rotatin' with my speakers thumpin'

From the Windy City streets

All the way out here to the streets of Compton

Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Church is definitely on the move

And we gon' continue to hustle and grow

And develop by far

As I rotate with my true player partner

By the name of Kendrick Lamar

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

This is the 'ism', this is the vision

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Gotta get up off your ass and get it, man

That's the only way your pockets gon' expand

I tell you every day, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Apply yourself to supply your wealth

Only limitations you'll ever have

Are those that you place upon yourself

Church is definitely on the move

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Exercise your 'ism'

And don't depend on no one else

Cathedral, church, 'ism'
