1865. Lyrics

All my life im locked in, i ain't talking daniel

All my life we lit up but i ain't receive candles

She cut all my locs off like sampson even left a sample

We go to war like david, im killing goliath

Guess im going to battle

Got my freedom back, but am i really free

I slide for all my guys, evens the ones who hate me

They stab my back like judus, they came from a sad tree

Stay outside in the winter, now i got these cold leafs

Put it on yah name, yeah i been saved

Been baptized in the river, euphrates, the nile the slick wave

Attached the cakes, in love with the pie

like its my cheat day

Put my hand up to the sky, cuz all my bills paid

They wanna treat us like slaves, but they know i been a saint

Its breezy out here when im catching the train

I played it safe

I read the bible im reading the word, I follow the way

Tapped in like xbox buttons but i do not play

They wanna take me right up outta my zone

But im playing man, you know i got it on hold

Sophisticated and i carry all this gold

I told my fam that ima come back home

The ywant a reason to hate me, but they could never

I carry this bag on my back like im under attack

And these demons, they shooting back

And im running right past and im making them mad

Gotta smile on face, cuz my phone in hand

And im texting my shorty, im making it back

She saying to me that i gotta relax

Cuz im faded, im tripping, im all their mentions

My text aint been sending, my pen aint been penning

I finish the sentence, get green like the goblin They think im the villain

I body these beats and im leaving no witness

Don't know if they get it i need independence

Like harriet tubman i come in attendance

They looking around for all who attending

it's God in these streets, we all toting semis

I'm bringing these gifts like i came in a chimney

My flight up in houston, but i am not whitney

Im winning they paging my line, like they need them a kidney

I'm flipping my pennies put on my city

I'm pretty and young and im still im my twenties

I pray to my father that he can forgive me for all of my wrongs cuz i know that it's plenty
