Protect

Yeah, NLE the Top Shotta

Got the bombs like Al-Qaeda

I said I'm the booth with pneumonia symptoms

But they might just say it's corona symptoms

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ayy

Reminiscin' 'bout the old days

Back when the Grizzlies had O.J., yeah

When I had me a bald fade

Wanted all the J's and I couldn't get no play

Times fly by when you having fun

But back then I ain't feel like I had nothin'

Back when a nigga didn't need a mask on

But I kept a ski mask and my cash grew long

Mom bumpin' Jodeci, Jodesay

Pops drinkin' rose on a Sunday

I had school on Monday

Contemplatin' droppin' out

I was only in the tenth grade

I'm a boss, they was tryna make us leave

A lotta souls been lost since pre-K

Our thoughts create our reality

Confirmation, it came from the CIA

There's a topic that need to be unmuted

But we will cross that bridge when we come to it

Couple miles away, we ain't gotta run to it

Marathon gettin' shorter, we gon' break through it

I'd rather teach wellness, to kings and queens

Matter fact, gods and goddesses

I'm pickin' they brains, put facts in they head

They callin' me a cosmetologist

Why the bible similar to astrology

Prophet makin' prophecies

How many days the sun goin' down

On the 21st, I say about three

Vaccines, the mark of the beast

Can't put no chip in me

Tryna break spirituality

Tryna fuck up DNA and my genes

Protect the mind and soul

Protect your body too

Don't leave the house without my crystals

VVS's can't protect my soul

Protect the mind and soul

Protect your body too

Don't leave the house without my crystals

VVS's can't protect my soul

To make a long story short

You would have to boot the worries in courts

Nothing less, nothing more, playin' chess with the boards

Tell a nigga pick the poison, abortion or orphan

Had to take me to Maury

Oh Lordy, majority of the kids I may have been mournin'

Tell me grand risin', don't tell me good morning

Words put a spell on my conscience

I'm risin' in the morning

Had to come fresh with a girl named Lauren

But she was too boring

You know we're not pouring

Another pain, and in her heart she was storing

Her head's in the clouds

She was soaring, and she was foreign

Will I ever find love one day

Before they put me in my grave?

People been temporary

Can I just get my way

Can I just get my way

If you come in my life just stay

Can you stay? Baby, stay for me

I changed my ways, did you wait?

I hate to say, you didn't wait for me

All the shit I've felt been fake

It left me baked, call me bakery

Don't check on me, I'm doin' fine

Everything been divine, just pray for me

Slow and steady win the race

But I've been pickin' up the pace

I had to lace up my laces

I'm lookin' behind me

They chasin', they chasin', they chasin'

The finish line been awaitin'

The people, they clap and they wavin'

Congratulatin', praisin' me

'Cause I just conquered Satan

I'm praisin' this feeling, amazin'

I was stuck up in a basement

Then I started elevatin'

Protect the mind and soul

Protect your body too

Don't leave the house without my crystals

VVS's can't protect my soul

Protect the mind and soul

Protect your body too

Don't leave the house without my crystals

VVS's can't protect my soul

NLE the Top Shotta

Got the bombs like Al-Qaeda, whoa
