Nigga
I AM
HIM
A GOD
No silver lining
I can't lead myself
I'm out here blinded
Trust it believe it yo heart be the reasoning
Church hold the key to the streets that we're bleeding in
I feel way too gone
No silver lining
I can't lead myself
I'm out here blinded
Trust it believe it yo heart be the reasoning
Church hold the key to the streets that we're bleeding in
I popped a tablet today
And seen the vision float away
Its struggle where we lay and pray at
We hope to make it thru the day
I travel so much I bought an oasis
I found a new heart
No struggle here to chase it dreams in the air just wasting
Scroll thru yo timeline just to taste it lil baby
I'm in the record books baby
Go ain't no height You can't reach
I say more practice than preaching
I seen the laws bend
For a nigga beneath me
While the hood still grieving
We can't stimulate this pain
What's understood don't need explaining
Call the extra
I was late to the plane cuz last night was epic
I met some street niggas and some scammers
What a Baller epidemic
They put me on
Realest niggas I ever met in that time span
Real respect real
Check your temperature
Before your guts spill
Mmm all over the place
A lesson cover all my L's
I might tat up my face
I'm more successful
I got chauffeur drivers
Taking my assets to a marked location
I'm talking legacy I did that
I did that nigga
Switch courses I been elevated
Elevate elevate elevate
Check yo email for that invoice
I'm not free
It pays to be this clean i'm pimpin baby
I feel way too gone
No silver lining
I can't lead myself
I'm out here blinded
Trust it believe it yo heart be the reasoning
Church hold the key to the streets that we're bleeding in
I feel way too gone
No silver lining
I can't lead myself
I'm out here blinded
Trust it believe it yo heart be the reasoning
Church hold the key to the streets that we're bleeding in
I popped a tablet today
And seen the vision float away
Its struggle where we lay and pray at
We hope to make it thru the day
I travel so much I bought an oasis
I found a new heart
No struggle here to chase it dreams in the air just wasting
Scroll thru yo timeline just to taste it lil baby
I'm in the record books baby
Go ain't no height You can't reach
I say more practice than preaching
I seen the laws bend
For a nigga beneath me
While the hood still grieving
We can't stimulate this pain
I am a King
