Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, uh uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh uh, couldn't make this shit up
Nah, uh, uh, uhh woy
Woy, woy

I couldn't make this shit up
Annoyed, remember all the joy and the big-ups
The noise? Nah, niggas isn't choice
They be pick-ups
And boy scouts, hear it in they voice
It be hiccups coin drowned
Hear a distant voice from the picture
I think they fear me
They should join their militia
There be points now
Lately boy, my joints getting bigger
It be doinks now
Hades and them oinks getting quicker
I avoid crowds
How come it's my heart that be broke up?
Enough criеs
How come every doll I want is stuck up?
Lovе crime, so much that I guard I stutter
Sunshine tucked beneath them stars
It be cluttered with tough times
And scars from another that was once mine
Really do these bars to recover
Not for punchlines
Poppa said it's harsh how they done us
We lust life but God'll stay
Along 'fore they crush us it's one dice
You gotta use some charm and some structure
And sometimes you gotta use the
Arm of your brother dumb pride
I learned to be the calm in the thunder
And sunrise

I thought to fly away
My rappin' saved my life today
I used to ride away to pastures
Full of tides of grey you and I the same
You matching with the sides of hate
When try and think
I used to watch they backs instead of violate
Need to fly away
Uh, I think rap just saved my life today

Hello my son, how are you? Hope you alright?
God will be with you, God will on your sleep
The mercy and the shall follow you
All the places that you go
All the things you want to do
Whatever you lay your hands on
Shall be prosper in the name of Jesus
You shall not die i shall not die
We shall have a glorious and happiest life
Christine shall she will receive peace
Whatever we lay our hands on
You and your sisters shall be prosper
In the name of Jesus
Hallelujah shall be our song
Joy shall be our song
In the name of Jesus, I pray
Sleep well my love my darling sweetheart

Every creative instinct that we had
She was there to nurture it
She was there to guide us
She was there to tell us listen to everybody
No one music is greater than the other
Nobody has a technique
Everybody has a message
When you write a song
Make sure you can pick that song
And the tune 200 years later
Don't talk about anything that is
Talk about something that always happens
That always happens
You can take a photograph of my mother




Let them know who brought me
Who brought this about let them know
