House
EarthGang Lyrics

I pray someday you'll, find what you need in this lifetime
I hope that one day you will discover what you truly need in your life

I know the way, I know the way
I am aware of the path to finding what you need

So hard to see through the pipeline
It is difficult to see past the limitations and expectations of society

Let it be, just let it be
Allow things to unfold naturally and accept them as they are

Yo, ex the excess, keep the essence keep on stepping
Eliminate unnecessary distractions and focus on what truly matters

Down the street from them greek picnics, we was nestling
We found comfort and belonging in the simple pleasures of life

Chocolate babies, incubating, box of blessings
We, as African Americans, are nurturing and developing our unique gifts and talents

Lead the way, tucked into mamas arms til' prepubescent
I relied on my mother's guidance and protection until I reached adolescence

If I was in it for the money, hell I done packed up for the evening
If I was only motivated by financial gain, I would have given up a long time ago

I'd have lasted bout a summer
My success would have been fleeting and short-lived

Lord, I done held out for my season
I persevered and waited for the right time to shine

I'd have missed what I had coming
I would have overlooked the opportunities and blessings that were meant for me

I'd have pissed what I could stomach
I would have wasted and squandered the things that I could have embraced

I done palmed out my daddy's Bible
I held onto the teachings and values passed down by my father

And sold grand daddy's people, but
I may have lost touch with my ancestral heritage

I ain't got no dollars today, but
I may not have much money at this moment

I'm sure I can blessed you though
But I can still offer you my blessings and support

Leap of faith, from Z to A, pray for me
I am taking a leap of faith, from the bottom to the top, please keep me in your prayers

My efforts meet my hope
I work hard to match my aspirations

I just need change for the better
I desire positive transformation and growth

I just got drugs for the low
I recently acquired drugs at a discounted price

I just got out of some trouble
I recently resolved some issues or conflicts

Can't get drug into some more, so
I cannot allow myself to get involved in further trouble

You can tinker, check the starter
You can tinker and inspect the beginning

Carborator, switch to premium
Car engine parts and switch to higher quality fuel

Chopper pray up, chop your weave
Weaponized helicopter prays for your safety and cuts through fake external appearances

But it don't work if you don't believe
However, none of it will work unless you have faith in it

Crack the water, drop your seed
Break through the obstacles and plant your potential

Blessed when son called your daddy home
Feeling fortunate when your child calls you 'daddy'

Can't no love 'cause you won't receive
You can't experience love if you refuse to accept it

Can't have nothing 'til you let it go
You cannot possess anything until you release your attachment to it

They lied to me
People deceived me

Yeah, they told me I could fly, yeah
They falsely claimed that I could achieve anything I wanted

Straight up past the sky, yeah
Even surpassing the limits of what is possible

Wasn't talking my pigment
They weren't referring to my skin color

Wasn't talking my partners
They weren't referring to my friends or associates

Wasn't talking my niggas
They weren't referring to people like me

That truth as loud as nine choppas
The reality of the situation is as clear and unmistakable as the sound of gunfire

Now it's rich or die tryin'
Now the only options seem to be wealth or death

Now we live in pine boxes
Now we are confined to coffins

Aye, fuck that though, I'm still shining
But despite everything, I still radiate brightness and positivity

Out the barrel, ho, I'm still climbing, still slipping
I am still ascending and progressing, despite facing obstacles and setbacks

Waitress hit me with the Mike Jones, I'm still tipping
The waitress recognized me and gave me good service, so I still leave a generous tip

She working seven days a week, lil' mama still stripping
She works tirelessly, even on all seven days of the week, to make a living as a stripper

Still stressing, still getting it how she live, no wheels
She is still under pressure and finding ways to survive without owning a car

No they won't call that legendary
Despite her resilience, society does not recognize her as someone worthy of admiration or praise

That's why I could never do it so casually
That is why I could never approach life's challenges with a carefree attitude

Any moment I could be another casualty
At any given moment, I could become another unfortunate victim

In the Gucci store, they ask 'Just browsing?'
When I visit a high-end store like Gucci, the staff assumes I can't afford to make a purchase

I told the bitch purchasing actually
I confidently informed the saleswoman that I will indeed make a purchase

I take three laps 'round the store and get back to me
I take a leisurely stroll around the store and then decide what I want to buy

I might've calmed down by then, but maybe not, ya'll made me hot
By the time I'm ready to make a decision, my emotions might have cooled off, but the mistreatment I received from others has angered and fueled me

Twelve hundred for the sweater, I'm in the mother fucking Marriot
I am willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a luxurious sweater, indicating my financial status and extravagant lifestyle

Eating carriot, gang bang, maintain, corporate do the same thing
I indulge in decadent and expensive dining experiences, while the corporate world engages in their own luxurious activities

With the same they just carry that, so I just carry that
They carry their status and influence, while I also carry my own pride and confidence

Three K for the 14K, low-key, never carry knots
I spend three thousand dollars on a fourteen-karat gold necklace, discreetly and without any financial burdens

Better know I got the rope though
You should understand that I have the means and connections to navigate any challenging situation

Spread love by the beaucoup, recouped by the boat load
I express and share love abundantly, and I receive great returns or profits

And the quotient is quotes that will give you close ups on the action
And the result is a collection of quotes that will provide you with detailed insights into the experiences and events

Sometimes, sometimes when the weather real shitty
Sometimes, when the weather is really bad

And the wind shield wipers and the music on the same beat as I ride through the city
And the rhythm of the windshield wipers matches the beat of the music as I drive through the city

Peep the ghost of my nigga posted up on the same street that he died in the city
I see the memory of my friend standing on the same street where he lost his life in the city

Made my mind go a mile a minute, everyone in a million is a dime a dozen
This sight causes my thoughts to race, realizing that unique individuals are rare and valuable in a crowd of ordinary people

Cryin' and puffin', kinda busting, now it's all or nothing
I shed tears and use marijuana to cope with the intense emotions, feeling like I have to go all-in or risk losing everything

Tough decisions, nip it in the bud
I face difficult choices and try to resolve them quickly and decisively

Grew up in the city with all my cousins
I grew up in the city alongside my extended family

Hard to find a nigga that's not my blood
It is challenging to find someone who is not related to me

We was thinking out the box so whatever
We were unconventional in our thinking, so we were open to any possibilities

Now them hoes that was tryna dog us, tryna faux with us
Now the women who previously disrespected or dismissed us are trying to imitate and be close to us

Where was you when smoking at the parking lot
Where were you when we used to hang out and smoke in the parking lot

Freestyling on the Marta bus, I got a brand new hand full of angels this year
Improvising rap verses on the public transportation system, now I have a group of supportive and uplifting individuals in my life

Ain't no big deal, the game don't sit still
It's not a significant issue or concern, as the music industry is constantly changing and evolving

Even though Atlanta tough, make it happen
Even though Atlanta is a competitive and challenging city, I strive to achieve success

Even though I'm going at it with a passion
Despite facing obstacles, I approach my pursuits with enthusiasm and determination

No sleep, but I fill up the mattress
I may not get much sleep, but I make up for it by being productive and successful

Pull up on your bitch when she sick of your crab shit
I come to your partner when she is tired of dealing with your disrespectful behavior

She get dug out like batting practice
I engage in sexual activities with her, comparing it to the practice swings in baseball

Fuck satisfaction, I really hope you get what you need
I prioritize your wellbeing and hope that you attain what is necessary for your happiness and fulfillment

Get what you need
Obtain what is essential for your wellbeing
