I'm only, "The Hook"

Im carrying weight upfront
So try to take a deep look
If Love was my angle
You'd be hanging
Off this deep hook

Yaah that straight shit right there
Gotta ears ringing
Where else you get these squares
Except on my knees prayin.

WHO forigives. he forgets
who forgive be for gets
You just have to tell him
Your on WHO 's asking?

Dont peace your steals
dis play out live on "wheels"
Never's is ever a gunna do

Rest your skills this not your deal
Remember WHO you talkin to.
Will your role 2 be 4 belonging
2 WHO, you asking to?

It's my Cross not my burden
I'm not caring it for yoiur oggle,
quit or wearing it
round my neck for your check
I don't carry if's
Want to share IT with you
