Little Brother

Yet another night like this

Fully conscious of my words as I'm connotating images
The game's hand to my throat
They probably wishing I would choke nigga
Only from this blunt that I
Censor that, my little brother's listening
Tryna set examples with the life I'm living
Considering the presence of a father missing
Shout out to my mothers
Finna change the world with my visionary brothers
Grateful for my lover who be sensitive to others

Those asleep saying woke
Demanding change with no votes
Sometimes I miss my bros
Hand to the bible I'm the realest Lord knows
My passion is projected like a flower I rose
They pose no threat to the seed I sowed
Had a laundry day but I never could fold
They know it's real

Off of his head
Can't change this is how I feel
Dark days wasn't part of the deal

My ears started ringing
I must be the topic when they making that decision

Haters make me money when they listen
This side is a different kind of living
Own lane own competition
Said I'm fully automatic like the M competition
Treated every record like merch
Had to spin back
Putting every beat on a shirt that's real

Let me start it off
Now here we are
I might fuck around again and get my heart involved
Hoping that this time it won't break at all
People tryna test me tryna see if I would set it off
Got so much to lose they got none at all
With my mother praying for these albums I could never fall
Wishing that my homie never broke the law
Now he's doing eight might be free when he's 34

This is tearing us apart
Lost one of my cousins now that really broke my heart
Younger years at the park
Feeling like those memories a million years apart
Music really took me out the dark
God really played a huge part
Mending all the pieces to my art
I'm at peace I don't need to go to war
Can't repeat what I did before

Believe that
Believe that
Do you believe that
In spite of what you give don't expect to receive back
