Believe In Me
S.H.O.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleep is the cousin of death I get tired
Yet a creep still In love with the Stress it build knowledge
Lovin all these lessons teach
Cookin up a recipe
Playin with fire Japanese KOBE
This burning desire I would have to be KOBE
Concerned with the styling
Used to laugh at me phony
I return attire they clap for me it’s Oski been through a lot muthafucker
You don’t know me
Harry swann that’s my guy
Carry on you telling lies
Every song I used to cry
Wet paper and all Nigga
Through the pain I would write
Rough days of my life
Pray to God look to sky’s
At new psalm testify
Gotta thank my brothers who Explained eventually it light
King of Bragadicous
Dopeness in the vocals Overdosing From the keys Of words
Niggaz wish they wrote this
The closest to be legendary never Secondary get it from my ancestors All hereditary
A plus vocabulary teachers couldn’t Grade it Smoking this purple haze
While I’m playing purple haze
Classic killa cam during my High School faze
Cheffing for these kids with some Soul Isaac Hayes
This is instant replay phrases moving Crowds
Spit that 12 play in 93 ways
No minors allowed
Seems like they ain’t ready
Sharp as a machete
Stans are like Oh my God like I killed Kenny
Legends from the heavens throw ice To the nicest
Rookies recite this leave their face all Priceless
A rap god performer no need no Corny hype men
This is no hype man
I got em all excited
You making moves
But man I’m moving
No way can let Fear intimidate my Future
Could sabotage my dreams
To become useless
The fruit of my moms labor
Nigga I’m juicing
Root to the core navel
Witnessing movement
The truth way born stable
A kiss for the soothin
Mom you’re a angel
Remember your tooling
Now I’m hot like Barbados
Hittin with music like
Rihanna cake pour it up
Pon da replay umbrella
Let me dumb it down getting money With champagne songs run it back Rain no shelter
To be honest fate on us
Can’t harm the dj just come better




That’s 100 pal and you a simple Dummy
Switching lanes cars crash blame the Passengers

Wrote down the song and I’m counting my flows,
I had to stay 10 toes and i counting my wrongs and they ain’t believe in me,
Them niggas slept on me, In the stu i sleeped in it, They went to sleep on me
I ain’t have help
I went to jail
I ain’t have bail
I was by myself
Momma had my hand, there’s only so much you can do to help
You know my brother’s shitted in me when i wasn’t there

[Lil Zay Osama]
They put them cuffs on me i had funds on the way
I had a son, I ain’t believe i had another son on the way
K s-h-o-t b-day brought back up i looked dumb in the face
Me and bae bae couldn’t beat that case i rabbit rolled wit the state
I ain’t have money I ain’t have cars i ain’t have clothes yea
Fucked up on the block i ain’t have hoes
