Legin [Verse 1] -Been feeling beats like this since back when Nas dropped the message/ Collective force of art and content gave my life direction/ -Hip hop gave me culture, left my moral compass reckless/ But this was written way before I even got that record/ -Interesting debates that in the end we'll find are worthless/ They worried about his melanin, I'm worried about they worship/ -You ever stop a second and question why things are/ They way they is, despite the fact the outcry for change exists/ -Maybe it's within us, something we ain't face right/ The light scares the darkness like a new artist and stage fright/ -But I'ma keep talking even though nobody's listening/ Until the next tragedy wondering if God exists in it/ -How could He let this happen? Was He there in the first place?/ Or did we turn our backs on grace and now pay with the worst case/ -Scenario, perhaps that's where the problem lies/ We want to point the finger at them when the problem's I/ Focus [Hook 1] -Fall/ Pride comes before it so I'm honest and I tell you when I/ -Slip/ Gotta crawl before you walk and though I'm walking couple times I took a/ -Trip/ You say only God can judge me but we all judge a tree by it's/ -Fruit/ So I'm searching deep within for the fig tree but I gotta find the root/ Legin [Verse 2] -Culture given false images of what beauty is/ Look at those filthy people, how could they do that to those kids?/ -We hear child porn and cringe, that's good, don't make us better/ We go to the movies and watch teenagers sleep together/ -The internet delivered all our wishes, all our interests/ At our fingertips, restraint is non existent/ -Backseat from any judgements in it, how close was I to benefiting/ From the very thing we build the Safe House's intent with?/ -Protect women from the pervs, who mean pleasure in their pain/ I watched women on the net, no concern from where they came/ -Why they were estranged disrespecting for the deranged/ I am numbered with the transgressors Nigel is one in the same/ -My daughter asked why the Victoria Secret girl show all her chest/ Said baby, she forgot how a Princess supposed to dress/ -I said never forget, how a Queen is to be treated/ But how many Queens I disrespected before I met Jesus?/ Focus [Hook 2] -Fall/ Pride comes before it so I'm honest and I tell you when I/ -Slip/ Gotta crawl before you walk and though I'm walking couple times I took a/ -Trip/ You say only God can judge me but we all judge a tree by it's/ -Fruit/ So I'm searching deep within for the fig tree but I gotta find the root/
