[00:14.16] What's up family, yeah it's yo cousin Carl man,
[00:16.38] Just given' you a call man.
[00:17.79] I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately
[00:20.18] And I know you feel like ya know people ain't been prayin' for you
[00:23.10] But you have to understand this man, that we are just people.
[00:26.73] Deuteronomy 28:28 says,
[00:29.41] "The Lord shall smite thee with madness,
[00:31.31] And blindness, and astonishment of heart."
[00:33.88] See family that's why you feel like you feel like you got a chip on your shoulder.
[00:37.90] Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way...
[00:38.96] Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
[00:41.55] Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle
[00:44.65] Why God, why God do I gotta bleed?
[00:47.85] Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet
[00:51.18] Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
[00:54.32] Earth is no more, why don't you burn this mufucka?
[00:57.22] I don't think I can find a way to make it on this earth

[02:07.51] I beat yo' ass if you tell them social workers he live here
[02:10.88] I beat yo' ass if I beat yo' ass twice and you still here
[02:14.26] Seven years old, think you run this house by yourself?
[02:17.21] Nigga, you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else
[02:20.43] If I can smoke fear away, I roll that motherfucker up
[02:25.31] And then I take two puffs
[02:28.33]
[02:30.57] I'm high now, I'm high now
[02:34.09] I'm high now, I'm high now
[02:36.99] Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
[02:39.49] Think I can prolly find a way to make it on this earth
[02:43.42] I'll prolly die anonymous
[02:44.93] I'll prolly die with promises
[02:46.38] I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house
[02:49.15] I'll prolly die 'cause these colors are standin' out
[02:52.64] I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin'
[02:55.80] I'll prolly die at these house parties, fuckin' with bitches
[02:59.39] I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me false accused
[03:02.12] I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool
[03:05.38] Or maybe die from pressin' the line, actin' too extra
[03:08.55] Or maybe die because these smokers
[03:10.72] Are more than desperate
[03:11.91] I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges
[03:14.82] Body slammed on black and white paint, my bones snappin'

[03:24.45] I'll prolly die tryna buy weed at the apartments
[03:27.64] I'll prolly die tryna diffuse two homies arguin'
[03:30.91] I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17
[03:33.95] All worries in a hurry, I wish I controlled things
[03:37.40] If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up
[03:42.58] And then I'd take two puffs
[03:45.46] I've been hungry all my life
[03:46.98] I'm high now, I'm high now
[03:50.74] I'm high now, I'm high now
[03:53.38] Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now, now
[03:58.63]
[04:02.92] When I was 27, I grew accustomed to more fear
[04:06.05] Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years
[04:09.46] My newfound life made all of me magnified
[04:12.51] How many accolades do I need to block denial?
[04:15.85] The shock value of my success put bolts in me
[04:18.86] All this money, is God playin' a joke on me?
[04:22.33] Is it for the moment and will he see me as Job?
[04:25.48] Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before?
[04:28.84] At 27, my biggest fear was losin' it all
[04:31.89] Scared to spend money, had me sleepin' from hall to hall
[04:35.02] Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin'
[04:38.34] 30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus
[04:41.58] What is an advisor somebody that's holdin' my checks?
[04:44.45] Just to fuck me over and put my finances in debt?
[04:47.83] I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered
[04:51.03] How did the bad girl feel when she looked at them numbers?
[04:54.18] The type of shit'll make me flip out
[04:56.16] And just kill somethin', drill somethin'
[04:58.05] Get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin'
[05:00.67] I practiced runnin' from fear, guess I had some good luck
[05:03.42] At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged
[05:06.81] How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city
[05:10.01] What they say 'bout me reveal
[05:11.34] If my reputation would miss me
[05:13.26] What they see from me
[05:14.33] Would trickle down generations in time
[05:16.33] What they hear from me
[05:17.43] Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
[05:19.51] I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity
[05:22.67] I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me
[05:25.83] I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' loyalty from pride
[05:29.13] 'Cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
[05:32.33] I'm talkin' fear, fear that my humbleness is gone
[05:35.58] I'm talkin' fear, fear that love ain't livin' here no more
[05:38.85] I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness
[05:42.19] Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive
[05:45.44] Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
[05:48.49] And I can't take these feelings
[05:49.67] With me so hopefully they disperse
[05:51.48] Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
[05:54.68] Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
[05:58.00] Fear, what happens on earth stays on earth
[06:01.23] And I can't take these feelings with me
[06:02.87] So hopefully they disperse
[06:04.46] Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
[06:07.56] Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap
[06:10.71] Damn
[06:11.74] Goddamn you
[06:14.72] Goddamn me
[06:17.77] Goddamn us
[06:21.01] Goddamn we
[06:24.15] Goddamn us all
[06:28.58] Verse two says you only have I known of all the families of the earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
[06:39.03] So until we come back to these commandments,
[06:41.69] Until you come back to these commandments,
[06:43.35] We're gonna be in this place, we're gonna be under this curse.
[06:46.06] Because he said he's gonna punish us, the so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, are the true children of Israel.
[06:56.71] We are the Israelites according to the Bible.
[06:59.28] The children of Israel, he's gonna punish us for our inequities.
[07:02.77] For our disobedience because we chose to follow other gods that aren't his son, so the Lord thy God chasten you.
[07:11.29] So just like your children, your own son, he's gonna chastise you because he loves you.
[07:17.01] So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in. Until we come back to these laws, statutes and commandments,
[07:24.60] And do what the Lord said, these curses are gonna be upon us.
[07:28.62] We're gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live here in today,
[07:33.89] In the United States of America. I love you, son, and I pray for you.
[07:38.66] God bless you, shalom
[07:38.66]
