SHEPHERD

I'm just tryna give you that...

Swear that these niggas be sleep... (Yeah)

(VERSE 1)

Welcome to the jungle where the humble and the thugs

Get to rumble over trouble and the hustling of drugs

Struggle over crumbles just wondering where the love at?

Cuz There's no fun in having to run away from some gun claps

And this shit will end with someone getting bust back

Just Reminiscing on the bus with my bus pass

Use to get by off lunch snacks and Rugrats

But now we getting high off dub sacs in em blunt raps

Other days I need an eight or an ounce

Best believe I'm gon' be facing that loud

Cuz most these niggas smile in your face but they hate and they doubt

While Bitches choosing based on Savings in your banking accounts damn

Been popping pills and drinking since the 7th grade

Round the time my friends was sellin' weed for better Jays

Now they either down in Jail or up at heavens gates

As I'm praying for some better days but we gon get it straight

Even though I grew up around some violence

Ambulances and sirens

A Misfit misguided with no guidance

But i know that the lord knows that I'm trying

In deep search for enlightenment

These Streets are a lions den

Hoping to be inspiring to make your pain stop

Cuz ever since they beat my ass man I hate cops

Feeling like I got no umbrella walking thru the rain drops

And This ain't a fable no Aesop nigga

(CHORUS)

I'm just tryna give you that real

But I swear that these niggas sleep!

I know that Id rather be the Shepherd than to ever ever be the sheep

No one can ever tell me what to think

No one can ever tell me who to be

Nowadays it's kill or be killed

Is it gonna be you or will it be me

What is it gon be?

What is it gon be?

Is it gonna be will it be me? (aye)

I'm just tryna give you that real

But I swear that these niggas sleep!

I know that Id rather be the Shepherd than to ever ever be the sheep

(VERSE 2)

Yeah I Came from the gutter, got my name from my mother, learned the game from my brother

Seen some things during the summers, but that shit made me tougher

Never played for no sucker, remember when we was younger, Belly was full with hunger

Often labeled as a statistic or even a number

But when niggas die the immediate suffer

FOX News barely give us with any media coverage

As we Blind like the sheep even Stevie he wonder

But I don't really know why they like to go and throw shade.... on everything that I do

You and I ain't never been the same, yeah... Been feeling this way since high school

I Don't got time to complain... Imma Keep it briefer than a haiku

Thinkin bout it put me in a daze... Getting dizzy at the looping the cycle

Cuz I'm a product of my environment

Catch me ridin round my town hear the tires spin

And My day 1's the only ones that I'm ridin' with

Bitch I'm grindin' to get that early retirement

Use to sell dope but now I sell quotes for a better price

It was all we knew so we could have a better life

And Music is my second chance that got me feeling limitless

My Pops told me it not how start its how you finish it

(CHORUS)
