Keen senses ever since I was a teen on the benches Every time somebody like Ennis was mentioned I would turn green—me, being in the trenches Him, living adventurous, not worrying about expenditures I'm braving temperatures below zero, no hero No father figure; you gotta pardon a nigga But I'm starving, my niggas, and the weight loss in my figure Is starting to darken my heart, 'bout to get to my liver Watch it, my niggas; I'm trying to be calm but I'm gon' get richer Through any means with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture Never read the Qur'an or Islamic scriptures Only Psalms I read was on the arms of my niggas Tattooed, so I carry on like I'm nonreligious Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures Niggas say it's the dawn, but I'm superstitious Shit is as dark as it's been, nothing has gone as you predicted I move with biscuits, stop the heart of niggas acting too suspicious This is food for thought—you do the dishes!
