Knighthood
Ka Lyrics

Snow, milk, and honey, Some kill for money
People kill for money even in places that appear pure and wholesome

Get better tools, then whatever moved filled your tummy
Improving the means to acquire food led to all types of schemes and ruthless tactics

Cops was dusk, we known to barter
The police were inclined towards shady deals and corrupt actions

You know the saga, block was tough, home was harder
The struggle began in the streets and continued even in one's own home

Spill 'amens' they be back within a week spitting heat
Even if enemies were taken care of, they were known to return quickly to cause more trouble

Grind in a gritty world, mind of a city squirrel
People hustled and scraped in a harsh urban environment, always on the lookout for opportunity

Need a pearl, tired [?] pretty girl
A desire for something rare and valuable like a pearl, coupled with men who prey on vulnerable women

Keep that hidden [?], School girls in the two door, it's the pigeon coop
Protecting oneself in a dangerous environment while young women get trapped in risky situations

Spend ten [?], nether in the trap
People spending money to avoid getting caught in dangerous situations or going to jail

Sins of the flesh, another feather in my cap
Committing various physical transgressions adds to one's reputation, as if they were achievements

Back in the night air, where they don't fight fair
Returning to an environment where people fight using underhanded or unfair tactics

Dreams of that cream command a nightmare
The pursuit of financial gain comes with its own set of problems and challenges

I'm detesting and I love it
Despite the negative aspects of the environment, the rapper finds a certain appeal to it

More funds for guns, but vests ain't in the budget
People prioritize buying weapons over protecting themselves, even if it seems illogical

Niggas around here they only press for your nugget
Threats or attacks are made on people for their valuable possessions or money

One of they privates come arrest you in public
Police officers operating in a corrupt manner, abusing the power of their position

I'm too raw for some, suggest that you cut it
The rapper's unfiltered and honest depiction of the environment may not sit well with some listeners

Y'all ain't making no noise, the quiet kept me inspired
Others in the same field are not making waves, but the rapper is motivated by silence

On that slum strip, money come quick
An impoverished area where money can be made quickly, often through nefarious means

Jackals have to attack, you keep the gun grip
People have to be prepared to defend themselves from violent attackers

Born a young bum, trying to become dip
Growing up surrounded by poverty and hardship, trying to rise above it all

We in the rubble where brother guzzle, none sip
Living in a place of ruins where people drink heavily, contrasted by those who drink less or not at all

Sip fuller on the bridge of sugar get your hun hit
Drinking more fully on a bridge made of sugar will result in being hit with a harsh reality

We're rashes no compassion not one bit
People living in this environment are impulsive, lacking in mercy or empathy

The streets ain't paved with gold
Contrary to the saying, the streets are not a place of prosperity

No bargain, you be out here starving trying to save your soul
There are no simple solutions, just trying to survive and hold onto one's values and identity

Wanna get paid then engage the hole
To make money, one must take risks by entering undesirable or dangerous situations

Hot headed your ways is cold
People behaving recklessly or impulsively, leading to negative outcomes for themselves or others

Hate fly if you, trying to die when you're crazy [?]
One attracts danger and risk by acting erratically

That get you spun and blam, before you become a man
Behaving rashly can cause one's life to spiral out of control, before they are even fully mature or developed

Repeal a line to heal ya mind, y'all brung disease
The rapper speaks truth to combat mental illness brought upon by negative influences

Blocks cooking, when cops ain't looking, we slung the freeze
Taking advantage of situations where law enforcement is absent or not paying attention to sell drugs for profit

Nights is wicked, days is evil
Neither day nor night are safe or comfortable in this environment

Now I'm peddling that medicine named placebo
The rapper is selling something that does not actually have any effects, only the perception of such

I upped the dosage, nose is tough, ferocious
Increasing the amount sold, working hard, and being determined in opposition to competitors

You can't see [?], adjust your focus
People have to change their perspective and awareness to see the dangers or opportunities in a situation

I shower high power like I touched a voltage
The rapper is coming at the audience with an explosive force and magnetism

Park, find your girls secret garden, crush the roses
Unexpectedly discovering something private and personal, and then destroying or exposing it

Want beef? Place a order
Initiating conflict or aggression by directing a challenge at someone

I used to step with the 2 5 in the deck of the tape recorder
The artist had a weapon on hand while working on and recording music

On the scene like a ace reporter
The rapper approaches their work with a determined and investigative mindset

Type boldface and like [?] raise the [?]
Being unafraid and forthright in one's speech, something akin to raising one's flag or banner

Supreme oxy, queens watch me like boulevard
Oxycodone is a popular drug and people are intrigued and fascinated by the rapper's success and presence in their community

While I'm logging, dodging bullets for the Pulitzer
The artist is in peril, narrowly escaping dangers and obstacles while producing powerful work

No lines are empty, 'cause time's against me
The passage of time forces the rapper to move quickly and efficiently, not wasting a single opportunity

[?] Most handsome, finest MC
The artist exudes confidence and charisma, labeling himself as the most talented and attractive in his field

A king class act from getting degraded
The rapper is able to rise above the harsh circumstances and maintain a sense of dignity and self-respect

Drop jewels for years, still jaded
The artist has been sharing valuable insights for some time, but the hardness of the environment is taking its toll

I recall a [?]
The rapper remembers something significant or powerful, but chooses not to share it

To be, to be totally truthful... I really don't know...
An ambiguous and uncertain conclusion, reflecting the complicated and challenging nature of the subject matter
