I Would Rather Lyrics by Mehkai Orion

Until The Angels Come

2020

[Verse 1]
Had to get back on my job
I don’t fear no man except me and God
I came to eat like I was fasting 40 days for Allah
Told antidote the only way I touch the clouds when I fly
Ain’t no heaven 'till I reach the highest peak in the sky
It’s still a struggle on the ground
'Cause all the young niggas be killing shit
Politicians calling airstrikes to cap the president
Feds be on my dick like I was friendly with my benefits
Things just fall apart, that’s just the way the lord be healing shit Gotta find a different way to make thesе people hear my shit
I just wanna makе it so my folks don’t gotta pay for shit
Reaping what I sow cause I’m cut from a different cloth
I don’t think you understand, you niggas lost
[Chorus]
That’s why I’m steady learning patience
Practice what you preach, you never know, you might just make it Can’t change it, get rid of all that hate shit
'Cause I would rather die than to listen to that fake shit
I would rather die than listen to that lame shit
That’s why I’m steady learning patience
Practice what you preach, you never know, you might just make it Can’t change it, get rid of all that hate shit
'Cause I would rather die than to listen to that fake shit
I would rather die than listen to that lame shit
[Verse 2]
This for my people in the system, hold ya head
Can’t nobody break you mentally, just keep your spirit fed
I’m not worried 'bout success
'Cause I'ma grind until there’s nothing left I got to
Ain’t no way around it when the time comes, I got you
Blessed these bars, real raps in charge, this my inner mission
Just understand, I’m doing overtime to fix the issue
You die today I guarantee no one would ever miss you
Society so fucking fickle
[Chorus]
That’s why I’m steady learning patience
Practice what you preach, you never know, you might just make it Can’t change it, get rid of all that hate shit
'Cause I would rather die than to listen to that fake shit
I would rather die than listen to that lame shit
That’s why I’m steady learning patience
Practice what you preach, you never know, you might just make it Can’t change it, get rid of all that hate shit
'Cause I would rather die than to listen to that fake shit
I would rather die than listen to that—
