You know I come from a city of sorrow
Ugly Introduction
Red Snow
Heart aches, heartbreaks, headaches
Growin' up it wasn't no joke
'Member all we had was dope (all we had was hope)
No detergent, wasn't no soap
I caught on to my environment, I had to, I had to grow
Thought she asked if could [?], but she really want some smoke
I've been stepped on
Pushed over, pissed at
Shot
I've been bitch slapped, only by the police with my handcuffs
I've been spit at, smell the piff' all on me, know you got it
Where that shit at?
In the back seat of the Crown, thinkin' 'bout my homie Kobe
Why you walk off from the crowd?
Know you let me down
'Member mornings, I'd call you 'til you pour me up
Even though I'm broke as fuck, bro know you never let me down
Why you let me down? (why you let me down?)
See me countin' all these racks, you lookin' at me now?
See me fuckin' off at Sack's, in and out Maybachs
Most of all ain't like these actors, lying in all they raps
Ooh I'm nothing like these rappers, lining all the acts
I spit all the facts
I put some ice on my wrist, everywhere I pop out it's dancing
I hit the crowd with some shit, soon as I walk out they standin'
I had to be patient for this
I'm the man now, was the man then
I have my way with a bitch
I'm the man now, was the man then
I put some ice on my wrist, everywhere I pop out is dancin'
I hit the crowd with some shit, soon as I walk out they standin'
I had to be patient for this
I'm the man now, was the man then
I have my way with a bitch
I'm the man now, was the man then
I'm that nigga' now
Don't roll no Swishers now
I'ma spend at least 250 when I'm gettin' high
'Member drinkin' up six ounces just to get me by
I stopped sippin' on the deuce, that shit wasn't gettin' me high
Now I'm riding to the clip, jumpin' on G5's
'Member puttin' on the 15, rollin' up three fives
'Member doing shows and features, splittin' it with my guys
Stickin' to the "G" code, didn't see nothin' wrong in my eyes
I looked the devil right in the eyes and saw my niggas' die
Can't get caught at the light, I wrote that song and I cried
I ain't emotional, you know me, that's another joint for Kobe
Smokin' 50 grams of OG, 420 just for brody
I'ma wish you happy b-day, tell the world to smoke the dodi
Look like everyday our birthday, Dolce, Louie, 'Sace, Balmain
Bitches wanna' tag alongside, your little hoe got all the jaw game
She want me to fuck it raw gang
I ain't trying fuck at all, gang
I put some ice on my wrist, everywhere I pop out is dancing
I hit the crowd with some shit, soon as I walk out they standin'
I had to be patient for this
I'm the man now, was the man then
I have my way with a bitch
I'm the man now, was the man then
I put some ice on my wrist, everywhere I pop out is dancing
I hit the crowd with some shit, soon as I walk out they standin'
I had to be patient for this
I'm the man now, was the man then
I have my way with a bitch
I'm the man now, was the man then

Man, I still really miss Prince. I always imagined I'd be able to grow older and still listen to him live and see his performances. Sadly it was all cut short 4/21/16. I'll never forget the disbelief I had when told by many he had passed, simply couldn't believe it and to this day wish it weren't true. Prince was an icon and a masterful musician ahead of his time. I've always seen him separate far from the media conglomerates of today and his sound has always shown that. No one could ever replace him and that's all right, his messages never die.
"All that glitters, aint gold!"
Break boundaries and don't cater to the *flow*, YOU are the Flow, so make it till you break it. 💜Love from, Minnesota.

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4)
But behold, we will watch them fall
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright, (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
[(Just how old)]
And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here
There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
(Just how old)
(Just how old)
(Just how old)
@SunofZMusic
Prince in the only artist to have uptempo songs that are so damn emotional. He was One of One.
@heatherhatley3363
The seven archons of the demiurge - we are all singing while we watch them fall. Love trumps all ❤️
