[Intro: Dem Jointz]
Yo, sshh
[Verse 1: Dem Jointz]
How do I survive in the (World full of vultures)
Snakes in the grass are old culture
[?] a poacher
Look over your shoulder
But I ain't got time to open my eyes and take a (Look)
They gon' rob you for everything, that's how they (Look)
Don't judge the content for how they're covered (Look)
Burn the bridges for temporary riches, that ain't a good (Look)
We ignore the guidelines, forgot the street code
That was a lay-up to how'd you miss the free-thru
In somebody else's business, looking through thе peephole
Emulating someone еlse from the cap to the sneaker sole
Sneaking souls, whoo
To reach your goal, you're peeked and told
The secret's out, you're leaked and sold
The location and code we hold
Our operations been compromised, now they know
Where we go to commune, they know how to hack our Zoom
So we gotta black our room, consume
They'll appear, and it appears that they just like you
Wait for you to sleep, then wake up like, what did I miss?
Your whole crew is sheep, they operate up under that bitch
KB ten-toes down with a broken foot
And don't ever trust, it's gon' be as great as how it (Look)
[Verse 2: Focus...]
Yeah, everybody out here damage goods
But they still gon' do it for the (Look)
It just seems that they eyes should be somewhere up in the book
But they would rather live a life of lies because of how they (Look)
And if you (Look), then you will see (Look) they're totally manufactured
Overly packed with rappers and actors, searching for a benefactor
I ain't lying, I ain't making no excuses
It's a fact that makes you capsule rather entertain a post -traumatic pastor For real (Look)
We become so heartless and thoughtless
I am not the language you speak
I am not the love that you teach
I don't need your validation, that means nothing to me
That ain't how you stay above water, 'cause it's rough in the sea (Look)
And I don't wanna be swept away living all the fake news
All the powerless cowards and fake blues
I ain't side with the powers that make moves
And I never thought I'd use this style to get this across
But I gotta talk to y'all when y'all out and you're lost (Look)
[Verse 3: Mr. Porter]
Open your eyes, it's there (Look)
It's clear (It's clear) as day (As day), I swear (I swear, look)
Damn all this killing, you run around trying to prove you're the realest
Let me tell you bruh, them streets got no feelings for you (Look)
Dishing out that pain, you conceal it
And karma gon' play them cards that you dealing
Look, you just sent ten men to one guy's house and shot it up
How you (Look)?
And he was black as you with no priors, just some pride
How you (Look)?
Scared as hell to me bruh, shook, to take a L from a scrap
Scared crows off the golden road, but they never could take a hook
I' know it, 'cause I'm king
I courage to not eat the sheep
Time is money bruh, talk is cheap
A second away from them altered beats (Look)
Peace belong to the young
I preach it out in speaking tongue
Can't hang with the gloves huh
That's why you always with the guns
Word through the wise, I'm the right type of sore eyes when they need me (Look)
You are more like the street type that the snitch right, the more the need be (Look)
My decor is more graffiti (Look)
Queen of choice, more feeny (Look)
Folks don't call me till they need me
That's why I'm really more teamy (Look)
I swing swords like a warlord
Stand up guy, my ten toes down to the floorboard
Down like four flats on the four door
Y'all niggas need the quickest we fed up
I know this shit hot, but you killing your brother
See they want us dead and you doing us better
But us unifying is something they scared of
Just look (Look), all you gotta do is (Look)
Nigga, look (Look), all you gotta do is look (Look)
Bruh, look (Look), all you gotta do is look (Look)
Man, look (Look, look, look, look)
[Outro]
We been so busy dealing with the hurt and the pain and the misery
And glamorizing a hand few that have made it
That we have never really looked at, like they say you're a role model
If you haven't got a role model in your house, you should fall into these ways God
'Cause something is wrong (Yes)
I would say to the black folks
That just because a black person is 90 years old
Don't need to have wisdom, and you need to listen to them
'Cause if you was dumb and stupid when you was nine
You dumb and stupid when you 90
