getting better every january
they gon' recognize eventually
i take it if they don't give it to me
swear all of it was written for me
by a higher card just spiritually
i want you believe not only in me
but have some faith in yourself
i wish you peace and good health
happiness and some wealth
i threw a coin in the well
'cause i was feeling so well
count a million atoms of cells
this life i'm living it out
don't let the prisoner cell build a strut to break out
my brothers at the brick house
can't you see it's a trap? the type of shit i think 'bout
i sensed they needed my help
that's why i had to reach out
what you think? i do it for my brothers under a spell
it's clear we living in hell
right out the womb you come out
and it's a bunch of blackmail
just waiting for you to fail
a special room in the jail
a number on it so you property now
it's what the poverty 'bout
it's all a game of monopoly
an elephant in the room until i fit in my tomb
and introduced to my doom
they say the end comin' soon
so put your fire up in the sky
'cause they won't ever kill the light
so put your fire up in the sky
'cause they won't ever kill the light
a fire's burning inside of my soul
a fire's burning inside my control
i taste the piece and pray it never leave my tongue
perhaps i was foolish just like the boy that prays to only see the sun
one minute you're low and feeling shallow then all of a sudden you rise
it's honestly a lot to bear
i play the game of stacking knowing that i ought to share
how much does a man need? how much can he hoard before his greed?
how can a rich father teach humbleness to his seed?
the stubborn all get taught tough lessons
i look at all i got like what's missing?"
