[Verse 1: Sam.STS]

Yeah, you got a price on my head

A roll the dice and you're dead

And I see it right through your eyes

It didn't have to be said

And I'm far from conceded

Thank God I'm still breathing, exceeded the grieving

No time for the briefing

Heart still beating

Too much to discuss

A lot to adjust

Nightmares of lust

It's not that I don't trust

I gotta leave 'fore I combust

Just a pen and pad in my hand

I've been saddened by man

Seems no matter the plan

I'm the last in my land, just as average as Joe or Dan

Sam and S-a-m-a-d

R-e-p reality

R-I-P to all that passed

P-a-c and B-i-g

Just a Midwest kid, you guessed it

Won't see me up on the guest list

I can attest it

I stand where the best sit, you can't put me down

Head below water but I'll never drown

And I've found, I'm in my zone

Above the clouds, sit at home take in the sounds

Used to hate, but listen now

You're the victim, tell me how?

Yeah, I feel like a phoenix

I don't care if you believe it

Pay attention to my thesis

I don't have a single weakness

Stay independent like Chance

And I've been defendin' my stance

The future of my life, right now, is in Gods hands

K. Lamar, J. Cole, and Nasir

Add 'em all together and look what we got here

One thing 'fore I go, the "Buck Stops Here"

Yeah I'm on another level, but no I'm not top tier


[Hook: Sam.STS]

Don't know what you have 'till you loose it

Only wear it out if the shoe fits

Doesn't make sense 'till the truth hits

Here's my 2 cents, go and use it

Don't know what you have 'till you loose it

Only wear it out if the shoe fits

Doesn't make sense 'till the truth hits

Here's my 2 cents, go and use it


[Verse 2: Samad Savage]

I'm sick of eating these rappers, I need me a different snack

They told me to make a living, you gotta go move these packs

I'm starting to think it's true, cause my momma been on my back

She asking her boy for rent, and I just wanna give her racks

But I got a minimum wage job, I could never make my money stack

God there's gotta be a better way, don't wanna resort to moving crack

Becoming everything I hate, after that no turning back

But I need this money, cause shit ain't funny when you see your bank just overdraft

Fuck, I'm clumsy

How could I expect my bank to have a decent balance?

It seems like nobody gives a fuck about my recent talent

What if I told you that money was the reason I dropped out of college?

Plus this rap game is something I feel like I can salvage

The only time Savage takes L's is if it's a L from salvage

Don't wanna rob people or be a hypocrite for tryna stop the violence

But it can get a little bit violent every time I kill the beat when I'm on it

It's like I keep the "strap" on, my homie lets be honest

My words are bullets, my magazines are these booklets

I dig through all of the bullshit, I found the crown and I took it

I walk through gated communities, Arizona'd and hooded

I fear nothing but God, and every cop that's crooked

So pay attention, are you lookin'?

At the history, that makes us victims to be

Cause we don't know anything, shit, we don't know our own enemy

The government never really been a friend to me, but that's just what they pretend to be

Cause they don't ever give a fuck about your family, and put chemicals in the food you eat

Lord, same thing for this industry, they don't care if you got any food to eat

They don't care if you out there in the street, in fact, that's good publicity

But when it gets to me, shits gotta change

And no, I am not insane, but what if I told you media fucks up everything inside your brain

I'm not playin' and it's not a game, information I cannot contain

We shouldn't give a fuck about the fame, cause we got a whole lot more to gain

And I've got a whole lot more to say, in fact this is my chance to say it

So everybody share this shit right now before I get assasina-
