Dear Father

Immortal
Oh, check it out, yo
Ayy, yo
Uh, like this
Tell that I’m a smoker by my pungent-piss aroma (Yup)
Keep a straight face, but I ain’t playin' games of poker (Nope)
Know some wild cats, and they not from Villanova
Keep a pistol within reach, and they don’t ever use a holster (Pa!)
Been drinkin' Ace of Spades, but I ain’t playin' the jokers (Nah)
‘Cause niggas quick to jerk you, and they do it without lotion (Yup)
My pops said, «Fuck a boss»
And he started his own business (He did)
Perfect role model for all of his three children
We can rule the world, all we need is our own vision
If you betted on yourself, head crack, roll 6's
Put it on the line, ‘cause I really got no one else (Nope)
Rather be broke, than feel I’m losin' myself (Yes!)
Destiny awaits, this is just a preview
Hate when people talk about it but never gon' see it through (Nah)
Scenic views when I cruise, here and gone, peekaboo
All the moves I pursue, no time for hittin' the snooze (Nah)
Buttons on alarm clocks (Yes)
Failure is a long shot
I be in the church with my fam when the ball drop
All that kept me safe was hearin' my mom’s prayers
Humble, but I’m grateful for everything God gave us (Amen)
Family first, if there’s problems, let me know advance
Point it out, roll on ‘em like an avalanche (Yes!)
Lovin' war, but the enemy don’t stand a chance (Nah)
If I’m wrong, well, I’ll just extend the olive branch (My fault)
Never settle, can’t see me like Helen Keller
It’s whatever
Flyin' up so high but no propellers
Watch the setup, keep your head up
Always gon' get my bread up
‘Cause it usually gets worse before it gets any better
Used to feel I’m stuck inside a hard place (Hard place)
Everything I got is ‘cause of God’s grace (God's grace)
Can’t say I made it until we all straight (We all straight)
So, now bow down, and let us all pray (Pray):
Our Father, please bless the grind (Grind)
Shield us on our mission, so our moves are divine (Divine)
If ever I should fall, and I’m gettin' out of line
I just wanna hear your voice, let me use it as a guide
(Let me use it as a guide)
Dear Father, Our Father, who art in heaven
Our Father, hallowed be thy name
Dear Father, thy kingdom come, thy will be done
Yo
VIP, I don’t like general admission (Nah)
Rather say I’m wrong than to ever play the victim (Yup)
Lost a lot of time due to all my indecision
But through all the misdirection, I just gained a little wisdom
Used to live for others, but that’s livin' in a prison (One)
Never let another nigga knock you off your mission (Two)
Careful who I trust, ‘cause these niggas’ll leave you twisted
Claim to tell the truth, but be lyin' through they omission (Three)
It’s misleadin', I’m just livin' for my freedom
Lay low, light up trees, like ‘tis the season (Merry Christmas)
Betrayal lurkin', but you can’t respond to anger (Nah)
See, close friends turn into the perfect stranger (I did)
Watch for danger, ‘cause the jealousy are weak-willed
That’ll never chase they dreams, word to Meek Mill
Seek thrills when surrounded with my family
I fought with siblings, but it’s mostly due to vanity
But this deeper than rap, that’s a fact (Yes)
Fam, don’t stab in the back, we’ll set a trap (Nah)
Strategize, plannin' attack in every act (Yes)
Put God first, and put these niggas in back, what?
Used to feel I’m stuck inside a hard place (Hard place)
Everything I got is ‘cause of God’s grace (God's grace)
Can’t say I made it until we all straight (We all straight)
So, now bow down, and let us all pray (Pray):
Our Father, please bless the grind (Grind)
Shield us on our mission, so our moves are divine (Divine)
If ever I should fall, and I’m gettin' out of line
I just wanna hear your voice, let me use it as a guide
(Let me use it as a guide)
Dear Father, Our Father, who art in heaven
Our Father, hallowed be thy name
Dear Father, thy kingdom come, thy will be done
