Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
And I could, and I would
I could, I would
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Yes, I bring joy to the hearts of sinners
From start to finish, I shed my light on your dark agendas
But I'm so far from finished, you can't see the end is near when the darkness lingers
My pops almost choked me to death, but I was hardly injured
I still feel it close to my chest, now I'm a heartless drinker
I keep a chain froze on my neck, that's for the harshest winters
I regret holding on to my past, the scars are triggered
Guess I had to catch my breath when it barely slipped through my father's fingers
Ah, now I gotta do it again for them
It's meant for them, disgusted at every time that they mention 'em
The pendulum, it swings in my favor soon as the tension comes
Somebody lent you guns, I post up with twenty extended drums
Looks like you're not paying attention, son
I've done enough work on these streets to wait for my pension funds
And I could, and I would
Yeah, let's go
[Verse 2]
They say revenge is the coldest dinner
Cold as December, my sister's soldiers, the coldest winter
Who told them enter the 36, where there's no surrender?
Don't know what king is, but know a genius, he the oldest member
If we're forgotten, the flow remembered, so we hardly hindered
By your agendas or any weapon that's formed against us
My soul in splendor, beyond the solar, my soul is centered
Armed with Arm and Hammer to clean up rappers, I sold them cleansers
Ain't got no filters, this common sense, it ain't got no census
These words ain't meant to enlighten sentence for your first offenders
If words offend you, I'm sending work that can work against you
Now you're sending shots, we address the message, return to sender
Now it's my turn to end you, turn the burner, get turned to cinders
My people tend to turn illegal to legal tender
No innuendos, spread influence like influenzas
If they cap, defend us, just use the vision, that's two avengers
Who do you vent to when no one cares who the true inventor is?
That new dimension, you test my patience, I lose my temper
And I could, and I would
[Verse 3]
Only the finest
Timeless quotes to live your life by, shit got me motivated
Tattoo my lyrics from my album, just 'cause the bro related
**** hate, I still got my presence, they call me overrated
Cut my 'Gram off for the whole vacation, got no frustration
Anita Baker on repeat, or it's Evelyn King
Like how they fit you for the crown and you never was king?
Never was Jason, never was Freddy, shit, never was Scream
I know what you did last summer, you never was seen
Bahamas get my head right
My demons tell me beat you with this lead pipe
Won't stop, I see a stop sign or a red light
TD Chase or Chevy, don't move heavy, keep your bread right
'96 Impala or a Chevy, shit the feds like
Wheat bread is healthier, growing up, liked my bread white
Credit card burning my pocket soon as they said swipe
Introverted, I get annoyed over shit that you said twice
It's sad, **** wait for you to die to say you dead nice
You nice dead, that's backwards, let's take it back to the bike pegs
The way that Mama scrambled 'em, the way you didn't like eggs
And turkey bacon, giving back to her 'cause I was her creation
Oh, we cold, nervous, waiting, God was teaching, learn from Satan
