Prophecy
Uh
They say that I'm the prophecy
But I can't do it with no profits, see
I was working in the kitchen
Dropping wings and flipping burgers
Back then I was a nigga that you never heard of
Lamar who
Shit, Lamar me, Lamar where you going
Shit, we all finna see
I'm from the A, trying to be
Everything I never seen
It's hard to leave when
The grass is tall as trees
And your homies rattling
They ask me what I'm into
I'm dabbling
Not speaking with you niggas
Y'all just babbling
They speak the wrong way
I'm paddling
I raid the scene
Roaches how they scattering
I'm lathered in wealth
Tryna do this on my own
But everybody needs help
I was swimming in that liquor
Call me Henny Phelps
I'm trying to be Michael Jackson
But I'm feeling like Tito
Blackbird, I ain't big as the Beatles
Wrap it up, put the game in the fetal
With cops lurking for the perp
While I'm trying to find purpose
I'm doing right, and
I hope that this shit is working
Can't really hold you to it
Cause we both gon' go through it
I see niggas switch sides
Swear they weren't gon' do it
Who influenced a weak mind
Can't convince them of peace
Due time and genocide
And you can still die for free
That's all on the line
Your chalk at they feet
Memories only last
As long as they speak
So I'd rather walk alone
Than follow somebody else
Always in control
Can't sell my soul for no wealth
Off the ropes
Pray I'll make it to the bell
Cause in the streets
It's every man for himself
And Mama Said
Violence not the answer
So I'm asking why we dying with our hands up
Preach he innocent
That boy he got a man up
It's fright or flight
But what the f*ck he ever ran from
Say you understand
The f*ck you lost the chance on
Say you understand
The f*ck you lost your man on
On the road
Ten toes is where we stand on
On the go
How the f*ck you give the plan up
