[Intro]

Yo, listen close

DC, who do you see when you see me?


[Hook]

Listen close

Please listen, I've been on a mission since he told my soul "go fishing"

Better listen close

Please listen

I came here to give you God and rhythm

Better listen


[Verse 1]

Listen close

I provide perspective

Living water be the beverage

Filling you with freedom

Feel it when you need it most

Look, some will not respect it

What was you expecting

This is eagle talk

Chickens only see the floor

It's a minor

They put us down we only take it higher

I look around and see my people

I thank the Lord for who he blessed me with

But still so many sleeping, on that sedative

That's not my concern though

I came hear to give em vibes

My only concern is to those who he gave me, right?

Gotta keep my vision tight

So I keep the circle tight too

Life is sweet with my homies

I don't mean type two

To my people in the streets

To the pent house earners

Are you living free

Or is your heart still burdened?

Are you living for approval from whole nother person?

Or do you wanna hear "well done my good and faithful servant"?

Woah


[Verse 2]

Imma have to show em how it goes

The beat switch like the British weather going cold

Take a snapchat break

And they say you're going ghost

I say put me in a Rolls Royce...

Then I'll know

This is poetry

Hear the flow it speaks

Hear it tell you bout the view I'm seeing from the window seat

I can see a lot of obstacles

So I skip on beats

Weaving in and out pockets

Like Messi dribbling the ball at feet


[Verse 3]

In the city streets

Come and see it's peak

Come and see the reason cops and coloured people having beef

Fresh meat

Still blood in it

How long will it take till they discover it?

A family had to change their whole life plan because of it

Ever since the medic told the walkie talkie

"Man down"

Dad's gone

Son you better be a better man now

Mamma never planned for this

There's no going back from this

Politicians washing their hands of the politics

Modern day Pilate's

Modern day Pharisees

Boasting of their ignorant innocence

Sin city casualties still bleed

Do you feel me?

I'm just tryna figure why there's still greed

Till I realised

Snakes still swing on good trees

We are no different to Adam and Eve

We can be tempted by a smooth voice in the leaves

I just pray

I just pray we cut it at the weeds

At the weeds yeah


[Outro]

I just pray we cut it at the weeds

We're living in a 21st century penitentiary

Lord please let my people go free
