Conscious Confessions 2 ft. PsalmSvn80 Lyrics

I'm back up like I never left

I'm Calculated with wisdom that's how I take my steps

Got 50 cents the way I'm steady dodgin' this death

With what I seen it's a blessin' I still got my breath

Now listen this my ultimatum

How you gon' take a brutha life when you ain't even made him

Them hollows rainin' from yo home till the police raid em

And they degrade yo life to zero word to Jayson Tatum

Most people livin' to die

Some people dyin' to live

Some claim they runnin' the block

But sleep in they mama crib

They creepin' out wit' the homies

The 40s brodies and shawties

But opp gon' notice you phony

They rack-it out like Naomi

This that Osaka flow

Cause I would rather see y'all live and heed my antidote

Then see you layin' in a casket in y'all daddy clothes

These thoughts been pressin' on my mental only mami knows

I don't say this for me

I speak for the generations

That's comin' up wit my niece

And my lil nephew Z'aire

I pray you breathe better air

Cause mine been clouded by gun smoke

I'm gaspin' it's hard to breathe

I'm prayin' for Xavy Xav and lil Maxy too

I pray that y'all don't know what me and daddy knew

Cause movin' through the pain done killed our attitudes

No wonder why we hardly made it through the schools

What up Jus

How you been feelin' big bro

Ayo I'm good

What you got to tell the people

You know a lil something lemme get this off my chest, yo

My upbringing turn my heart cold as Siberia in February

Arms stretched to a open stove we warming hands up as a family

Sneakers look like open-toe sandals, man my gear was bummy

Moms busting foodstamps using change to get the rent money

Meanwhile I'm watching hustlers in the hood run to get the Fetti

Hoodies and Girbauds in the jeans had the heat ready

I was artsy I ain't bang

Gang gang was lookin' down on me

Wasn't cooking chicken I was burger flipping at the Mickey D's

So I ain't never did catch a body but with this ink I made it bleed

Sketching joy with love and pain and everything I would see

A pregnant teen turning tricks to make they ends meet

Police chalkin' bodies of black babies and black fathers they shot in the street

Say they our protection why your presence bring us death and fear

Keep the safety on your pistol we might think you care

We just tryna make it home to raise our babies

Focusing on handling business

Building wealth and holding down the square

That's why it's called the block

And them bricks of dope get chopped

We just tryna work these angles in the best way we know how

Hope we stay above the ground and

Praying that the struggle stop

Please

I got this PTSD from the P.I.G.'s

And crazy dreams where my ancestry is swinging from trees and I feel the squeeze

Of a noose on me

I need space to recoup and breathe

But Jus, you know the grind never quit

So I keep striving to leave a legacy behind for my kids

Yeah yeah

See psalm I'm moving optimistic

The folks that often gave us doubt they shoulda really listened

And now they thirsty for da shine just like they ate a biscuit

They should've hopped on top the wave but we been gone they missed it

Facts

By the grace of God it's been gravy lately

Used to believe them lies of the haters I let 'em sway me

Gave attention to useless rumors and talkin' it drove me crazy

But I laid them burdens down now I float where the spirit takes me

Cause he been movin' mountains

Fillin' fountains, He the bread

The final course

The man the myth alive no longer dead

I've seen the future love and peace can finally take the head

No more to question in the future cause the blood was shed

It's the same song a different beat the sentiment the same

I pray y'all feelin' on these truths that me and Psalm proclaim

A broken system set in motion causing death and pain

A heart that's broken only remnant what I seen remain

But we got a hope and victory it's in Yeshua's name

No longer orphan got a father that could never change

So I fight this life like Wolverine oh yes I'm untamed no chains

Still I sustain

No pain, no gain
