Y'all know n*ggas who would put metal in ya back like a piggy bank

Just for pennies sake?

No regards

Just deviated gods

Couldn’t penetrate the odds

Then 12 gets involved widdit

Jail be the shift

Live in hell, you embody its appeal

N*ggas probably quick to feel

That’s why the fire so explosive

And we all just posta deal with those irregular emotions

I was 7 trying hard to get to heaven

Seen some heavy shit

Tried not to get buried in it

Severed in the fahrеnheits

Apparently it’s hard to tell

Cuz I bе praying crazy

Grandma marinates my head in oil

Father pours another cup

Bodies laying in the soil

Tryna wake our brothers up

Mothers love is big but that don’t mean

That it could give it all

System doesn’t give a shit

They don’t fuck with you at all

I been through it

All n*ggas know is who it

Seem like if u ain’t moving stupid

So I groove into it

Live in hell, you embody its appeal

N*ggas probably quick to feel

That’s why the fire so explosive

Live in hell, you embody its appeal

N*ggas prolly quick to feel

Y’all know n*ggas be backwards in the brain

Really sick, when they actors like they sane

Cuz it be the same shit

Difference how they frame shit

Came outta left field so im on the same shit

I was 9, living heavy in my mind

Tryna get up out the grime

Lubricate the pad and sink into the lines

Let em’ take me

Teacher said im smart

People really take that shit to heart

Think yourself into exhaustion

Turn it into art

As a world to get lost in

A vessel In the dark

Question shit around me

Clutch the pain as it come

But my brain strong, no one could touch the flames on my tongue

Live in hell, you embody its appeal

N*ggas probably quick to feel

That's why the fire so explosive

13 tryna formulate a dream with a dollar

Felt like I was born to make a scheme

Born to break the cycle for whoever's after me

Started channeling my rage

I knew I didn't have to be a product of my pain

Said that I would paint a masterpiece

Push the button till the world catch up to me

And that's the peace
