[Intro: Foggieraw]

Ladies and gentlemen

You are now rocking with

Foggieraw bae, Ruslan

What it is


[Verse 1: Foggieraw]

Less of a gunner

More of an archer with a bow and arrow

Live from the path that is narrow

I read in Exodus, you never flip on your niggas

And join your nemesis

It doesn't always pay to be the Pharoah

I was born thorough

Taught to eat the beef, to the bone marrow

If it was Power Rangers, I'd be red

You'd be yellow

Did you not get the memo

Well boy, here's the memo

Presto, I know my God came from the heaven to the ghetto


[Verse 2: Ruslan]

Ah, then they renamed it to a project

The riders up are climbing up and looking at my options

Anonymous, the common denominator's a profit

I am not an accommodator for any nonsense

Man can not live off of bread alone

But yet we've gotta eat

Even though our desires

Aren't always what they oughtta be

Still a part of me, the need to provide and survive

My family and tribe is the priority to thrive

As long as I'm alive, so I ain't got no time to be emo

Cause I know the messenger, I know the verses jalapeno


[Verse 3: Foggieraw]

Exquisiteo, a black negro in his black tuxedo

I'm tryna free my, aye

The more the beast knocker, the more I squander

These vowels on your head, like a lyrical barber

Cause it's my parlour, we're doing spiritual cuts

Cutting all the way down, making biblical monks

And, still with my day ones in my mother car

Still whippin' around, I don't be dippin' around

With these Frito-lay rappers, y'all be chippin' around

'03 Kobe, you Jason kidding me now

And I am very tired of babysitting around

But the Lamb is without blemish

And God is what I cherish

Degrees of the line been decreed hellish

Flow mean as Brad Bellick

I do not embellish

We bus like Rome Bettis

Ya bust like millicic

Bust like...

Y'all boys, I don't get it


[Verse 4: Ruslan]

Look, Look, Look, Look, I start to focus

But blurry is peripheral

Wipe the crust off, the feeling is so habitual

Meaning it doesn't require thought to see a visual

Simply react, I tend to think it's more instinctual

See, I can walk and chew gum at the same time too

And you can vote your conscience

Hit you with the Ted Cruz

Pleasedon't put any of your restrictions on what I do

Cause I am not who I was

And every day that holds true

That's the judgement on you

I'm honestly done caring

Best way's to lead by example and start sharing

Results that are apparent

Maybe I fell in error

When did we start judging art based on comparisons huh?

Never the mind, I digress

Sometimes I use this as a way to get things off my chest

Hopefully, you don't mind, cause I don't like surprises

At the same time, I ain't tryna come off pious

I'm a man with a perspective that just wants to be heard

And I tend to get busy with these nouns and these verbs

And I tend to take serious how I'm using these words

So I'm searching my own heart

So I can know what to purge

Look


[Verse 5: Foggieraw]

Need you to know that my God is still wit' it nigga

Need you to know that the spirit is still willing nigga

Nas said it, my God has still writ it nigga

Or wrote it, however you wanna quote it

Wrecked the whole league, nobody could even handle it

My crew pay homages, y'all cover the damages

Sharp is Dwayne Wayne hairline live 06'

We cover main dish


[Verse 6: Ruslan]

Y'all catching the flashback

I'm doing the math that, to show you real quick

I know exactly what to pack in my knapsack

Fits a little extra than what I probably needed

Believe it, immediately I advise that you don't act defeated

You see it, I sowed it, that means I probably reaped it

But God's the one that made it grow

Even if I can't see it

You see it, I saw it, and then I spent the weekend

Tryna figure out how it all works

But I'm still believing

You see it, doesn't matter if I overstand it

In order for it to still be true, so, therefore, I don't panic

My God knows that I am damaged

But the decree has been handed for me to stand were

I'm planted, maybe it's the way he planned it

You see it, I saw it, excuse me for being candid

But there is so much at stake

That I can not just leave you stranded
