The Shepherd

Even the broke clock, right, twice a day

Broke-ass **** always got a lot to say

Used to do it free, but nowadays, we gettin' paper

Independent **** ballin' like I'm on a major

Even the broke clock, right, twice a day

Overcomin' every obstacle in my way, ma

Gratitude shown for them blessings God gave us

Gotta thank mama, 'cause our sacrifices made us

The coupe roof disappearin', in the whip I'm sittin' in

Foreign engineerin', steerin', Russian-born immigrant

Q said I'm off the lot, shit, could've bought a Benz

Hell, could've bought a crib, only got what life deliver

I just wanna ball and chill, never stress about a bill

I know this was meant for me, this what I was sent to be

Family start to treat me different when they see me on TV

Spoke at Brown's College, and I ain't even have my GED

Told me if I trust Him, then release and let Him guide my feet

Gave me everything that I was promised, plus a lot of peace

But I ain't got no minor mind, I'm on a major, and I'm on the blockin' sheet

Sat me down in isolation, 'cause He knew that I would be

The one that used my voice to speak, teach the ones that I can reach

I don't waste time, 'cause it ain't cheap, gotta pay the fee

You don't work, then you don't eat, unless you gon' become a leech

All them nights I was starvin' turned me to a fuckin' beast

**** choose to hate, I got the same 24 as me

Even the broke clock, right, twice a day

Broke-ass **** always got a lot to say

Used to do it free, but nowadays, we gettin' paid for

Independent ****, ballin' on the floor

Feelin' like I'm on a major

Even the broke clock, right, twice a day

Overcomin' every obstacle in my way

Gratitude shown for them blessings God gave us

Gotta thank mama, 'cause our sacrifices made us

And we're gonna make it through this

And we're gonna make it through this

And we're gonna make it through this

And we're gonna make it through this
