Pavement Lyrics by THEMpeople

Smoke Breaks IV

2014

[Produced by THEMpeople and III]

[Verse 1: Joey Purp]
What's the difference between crack smoke and black folk?
We both in hell
Tried to tell the nonbelievers about Jesus
It ain't go to well
Said I'm far from a star but stars falling for it
Fuck what he rapping, the section catch him in orbit
That bulletproof vest that he wearing make us a target

[Break]
(gunshots and sirens)

[Verse 2: Joey Purp]
Look, I was taught all that lives is survival
Mind those close, keep your eyes on your rivals
Deemed disbelief in the grieving of false idols
If all you give them is absence, they anticipate arrival
The anticipated revel
Smoke to the skies, burn one for the devil
Lost in the lessons of the Heavens and the other
.45 to my brother, just a slam of the gavel
Purp

[Verse 3: Dally Auston]
'03 like keep it OG times change but a nigga know me
Drive slow little homie, slow motion like playing for a nigga, move keys
Said momma never liked that
Praying for her son where he resting
Knew he was a ghetto when he checked back
Feeling like a boss in that rocking chair
Caught a nigga lacking in the jungle
Got to get him 'fore he get me
If a nigga bang, nigga, bang back
Only way to do it when you in the middle hang that
Tell them bitches rain check, work
Hey what's your work like?
Like, what's your life now?
