Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel it
Soul music
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Said I don't know, why do I live my life this way?
Why do I live my life this way?
Yo, said the apex rise on the empire's eyes
Can I testify I'm the best to fly?
Live your life and I'm gon' live mine
[Verse 3]
Tell me what the fuck an angel does
We're seeing kids who ain't aged enough
Getting high off angel dust
From NY to Los Angeles
There ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Looking where they card you at and they party at
Cardiac arrest can feel risky
Real pissy, I chase cheese and real pussy, yeah
Cats used to yawn on his rap, now look at 'em
Shit ain't been the same
Since them **** started booking 'em
Pull up with your pen up, looking sharper than the bulletin
With pinstripes and hollow tip bullets in it
He's something that you'd invest in
Catch him live on late night, but he ain't interesting
Pop up and poop out something like intestine
No corrections 'cause the mic been checkin'
The only time he be asking is when he sexing
My team like Teenage Mutants and X-men
Fire spark when I step in
He the Human Torch
Inhaling fumes of all sorts of course
Steez taught me how to store it in my ball shorts
So when we stop by the D, we never get caught
I say it again, we face L's but never lost
Either be a warlord for 6 fees short
Each day in this living Hell feel remorse
But he had a million dollar smile way before he flossed
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Said I don't know, why do I live my life this way?
Why do I live my life this way?
'Cause the apex rise on the empire's eyes
Can I testify I'm the best to fly?
Live your life and I'm gon' live mine
[Verse 5]
Yo, I'm tryna Oprah win-win
With a L in my hand
Remotely passed off like the generous man
And they wonder what it cost to put a pen in my hand
But don't understand
They the only one who gets the benefit, damn
Sometimes I just sit and prey
They couldn't walk this way in my J's
They wouldn't feel despair, but disarray
Like their souls disappear
Son got hot flows, get dropped like disarray
Couldn't close my ghost souls, eyes closed
Covered with Ray-Bans, I can't let my eyes close, and I know
Even through shades of black
I see brighter days looking back, in fact
So I relax my mind, see what these tracks can find
A gold mine will make me rich in both dimes in mine
Gotta make it all mine, if you don't mind
'Cause sometimes
[Verse 6]
I just sit and prey
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Sometimes I just sit and prey
They like, sit and prey
They like, sit and prey
'Cause the apex rise on the empire's eyes
Can I testify I'm the best to fly?
Live your life (Right) and I'm gon' live mine (Check, check)
[Verse 7]
Right on the block where they sit and prey
Lives the vicious ways where they spit and spray
Vicious trays coming for the ice you kept in yesterday
It's nothing but the history
Protectin' you from being history
And then the next day your face is just a mystery
For **** who really ain't feeling me
Are all my fucking enemies
Even the lightest hour requires heavy artillery
Accelerate without the brakes of a break
And still I'm not eating up to now
And there's a lot on my plate
All in a day's work of God and His grace
You wanna eat? Then tell God to say grace
And avoid the heat getting the boil to surface
A soft **** caught between these rocks and a hard place
Because the Mafia is on the lookout for the Scarface
But the ill-minded child is ill-minded, child
Got a round of styles
Killing ****'s mentals like a round of shells
Very well-rounded, round it well
To the highest number
Praying that 2047 ain't the highest number
[Verse 8]
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Sometimes I just sit and prey
Said I don't know, why do I live my life this way?
Why do I live my life this way?
'Cause the apex rise on the empire's eyes
Can I testify I'm the best to fly?
Live your life and I'm gon' live mine
[Verse 9]
Get off my cheeks, let me do my thing
Interrupt the wavelength
Live and let live
[Verse 10]
And people talk smart, got the balls to say
They apex and standing for this way
But got nothing to show or give
I ain't judging
