Circumstances

My wife and daughters depend on me

They look to me for courage and strength, so I keep that energy

It's meant for me, I'm stronger than most, but I got these tendencies

I think big, but the smaller shit be offendin' me

You wouldn't know if you friends with me

Cross me, it's like the world's endin'

I turn evil the second one of my girls mentioned

I bench-press stress and curl tension

Hold the weight on my shoulders, 'cause I'm shaped like a soldier

Now I got your attention

I talk to God, but it's not for repentance

My little homie was shot by that entrance

Don't call me "Bro" if you not my descendant

I spit fear like I'm not full of vengeance

Get stripped bare like a plot from The Revenant

If I offend you, it's not my intentions

The judge spoke a couple words, I was shocked by the sentence

No reminiscin', just rememberin'

The world to your family is in your hands, they're dependant

They say that love is equal to pain

Got a love that is true, that is true)

Guess we don't see these people the same

When love is gone, but the evil remains

Now they speakin' our names

A shaky link gon' weaken your chain

Yeah, now lieutenants focus they lenses on

You (Got a love that is true, that is true)

Prosecutors call co-defendants on you

The judge know that he got a sentence for you

Not every friend is loyal, but your wife and kids is dependin' on you

Half a million on this Maybach, it's two-tone

Like my nigga Two-Tone, he in the

Sky like this Benz when the roof gone

Lot of memories, lot of dead homies

Lot of funerals paid for for niggas who wasn't kin to me

I envy this heart of mine, it feel for niggas all the time

Niggas bite the hand and think that I'm just 'posed to fall in line

Never been my style, like blowin' smoke from a Black & Mild

Niggas want the smoke, creep up on the whip when it's backin' out

You gon' get this whole clip like SportsCenter, spin the block

Leave that nigga leanin' on his car like ten o'clock

Send a opp, long as my Amiris got this torch in 'em

Avenge your man's death, and your ass gon' be in the morgue with him

Ayo, Ransom, ayo, talk to these niggas, man

You think I made it to forty-two by luck, nigga?

Jackie Robinson jersey matchin' my journey through life

Yeah, haha

Seein' this life got my vision in daze

No more livin' afraid, got rid of my frivolous ways

Speak with the soul of indigenous slaves

Your religion is vague

Would you plant a tree if you knew you couldn't sit in its shade?

Came from the dirt like I'm diggin' a grave

They say that a prisoner cage'll give you additional greys

Cherish your kids in these pivotal days

Television is swayed

Every black male is in jail, and all our women is crazed

They say you blessed if you live to this age

Either you livin' amazed or you just live in the maze

I'm in no position to gauge, what I'm pursuin' is great

But, everybody dies with food on they plate

Just, just nod your head if you too can relate

If you maneuverin' fate, then you be choosin' your place

'Cause it ain't 'bout losin' a race

Make sure you cross the finish line

My brother told me bare my soul, that's what I did this time

They say that love is equal to pain

Got a love that is true, that is true)

Guess we don't see these people the same

When love is gone, but the evil remains

Now they speakin' our names

A shaky link gon' weaken your chain

Yeah, now lieutenants focus they lenses on

You (Got a love that is true, that is true)

Prosecutors call co-defendants on you

The judge know that he got a sentence for you

Not every friend is loyal, but your wife and kids is dependin' on you

(Got a love that is true, that is true)

(Got a love that is true, that is true)

(Got a love that is true, that is true)

(Got a love that is true, that is true)

(Got a love that is true, that is true)
