REST. Lyrics by B Star

twodaysbeforenever

2018

[VERSE 1]

This the year my idols become my peers
Death over dishonor my karma's finally here

Steady feeling the changes, death still in my ear
America just business, I keep losing my peers

To trigger happy white boys
Undercover racists
Bitch niggas in suits that always beat they cases

Prolly beat they wives, that's the story of a nation
Stockholm syndrome in the home of the bravest

I need patience
Or Hennessy
Or hella trees
Or melodies

I'll choose the latter most times when it's go time
I don't want your cosign, I'm a gold mine

I emerge from depression, still the same adolescent
Rocafella from the pressure
I want it all nothing lesser
I wanna ball like Lebron
Ride in a tesla
Do good for the hood
Hold it down like compressors

Why they shooting us God
Why they living so hard
Will I find balance within
Am I emotionally scarred?

We should all pass the bar
We should all learn the system
We should all play God
Ain't nobody a victim

Sometimes the pain don't fade
But we stay okay
Bullshit comes my way
I just say "olé"


We judge all day That's why the judge okay
With giving young niggas life
We tryna find our faith

[HOOK]

You gon' know my name 'fore I rest
Aw yeah you gon' know my name 'fore I rest

You gon' know my name 'fore I go
You gon' know my name 'fore I go

You gon' know my name 'fore I rest
Aw yeah you gon' know my name 'fore I rest

You gon' know my name 'fore I go
You gon' know my name 'fore I go


[VERSE 2]

Dear Journal, you know I'm fighting my fears
Battling insecurities, losing it every year

Hair falling not near balling, I feel the stress
Struggle to pay rent, i'm to blame for this mess

So I gotta get it

I hate when people tell me lies
Tell me that they gon' help me, that shit'll keep me alive
Then go back on their promise, and act all surprised

When there's little communication

The friendship just died

It's true

Perception just one view
I can build a castle out of sand if I want to

Something from nothing
Bottled some feelings, there's no more discussion
People dying everyday, boy I feel like I'm bugging

Ain't you scared for the children that gotta run thru the streets
Gotta carry a piece before they know about peace

Tired of crooked police meeting they quota
If it wasn't for Mage I'd pour some lean in my soda


Pop a Xan for the pain
That's how they wanna control us
They playing mind games man; the anger's the motive

Don't tell me I'm not the youth, nigga you buggin'
The black sheep, ugly duckling, always doing some hustling


We come together and watch reality tv
But can't deal with the reality in these streets

I get it

A lot of people scared or don't see the picture
Paint it how you want, 'cause we still "niggers"

[HOOK]

You gon' know my name 'fore I rest
Aw yeah you gon' know my name 'fore I rest

You gon' know my name 'fore I go
You gon' know my name 'fore I go

You gon' know my name 'fore I rest
Aw yeah you gon' know my name 'fore I rest

You gon' know my name 'fore I go
You gon' know my name 'fore I go
