Pearly Gates

It's like
 Life is crazy
 Ain't no benefits when you part-time
 We did enough dumb shit
 From here on out, we on smart time
 The love and hate joint is different from the chalk lines
 'Cause real niggas are built off hard times
 The odds were against us
 So either I'ma be a point guard or
 I'ma sell hard 'til they pinch us senseless
 They couldn't box us in so they fenced us
 Now we pullin' off the lot with the Tempesta
 Some niggas traded, other niggas faded
 Some are still around, if you don't see 'em, then they hated
 That's usually how it go though, the journey is for the chosen
 Throughout it all, all I can do is remain golden
 Right and left wrist and my neck will remain frozen
 Word to Nip, ten toes down and we ain't foldin'
 Can't say you're doin' your thing when you ain't holdin'
 Movin' that water in the spring but it ain't Poland
 Alkaline, yeah, I'm out for mine
 I share thoughts with my son, he got a alpha mind
 Long as he think out of the box and stay out the lines
 He get a nice piece of change and a house of mines
 Yeah, it's just work to me, that call is action
 All these Bergdorf bags and all this Saks and-
 All this money I'm makin' and all this taxin'
 You get the picture, I just gotta finish the caption
 So Raspy so you don't gotta keep askin'
 One head shot, so you don't gotta keep blastin'
 Before you pick up speed, you gotta get traction
 To see yourself bleed is a different reaction
 What you want and what you need is a different attraction
 End of the day, long as you gettin' your back-end
 Before we split the profit, we puttin' it back in
 In the name of Ignatius Maurice Jackson
 Yeah
 Icepick Jay forever
 We love you
 We miss you
 We gon' keep this shit solid
 Your kids are straight
 Everything is intact
 Believe that
 On everything I love
 Uh, in the book of Ephesians, chapter six, verse ten
 The apostle Paul says
 "Be strong in the Lord in his mighty power
 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firmly
 Against all strategies of the devil
 Put on salvation as your helmet
 And take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God
 Pray in the spirit at all times and on every occasion"
 So Raspy
