Envy is Ignorance


Envy is ignorance , it is evident that you are faceoius

Pray to Jesus that he can save us 

Never been the bravest but still ain't a coward

All of you niggas acting like Terrence Howard

Still ain't enough of ours going to Brown or Howard

Waiting on our down fall like the twin towers 

Howls in the wind in the darkness, running with my pack of wolves 

Trust me my nigga its all good, Trust me my nigga its all love 

Have u ever wiped the tears when a dove cries, can't you hear the cries and pleads 

I never aim to please, I aim to be an outlet for my niggas

Suppressing voices asking the pastor for anointing, maybe it will end the suffering

Maybe then I can make something out of nothing 

 

They been killed my innocence

Survived from their negligence 

5 coming so I dash and hop the fence

Envy is ignorance

 

The love they have with the streets is more than intimate 

Be safe or you'll get gunned down in self defense

Can't trust you even if you heaven sent

Envy is ignorance

 

Go to hell and back for them dollars, load the chopper

Grab a mask, Pops told me I would be a doctor

The streets I walked was home to mosters

They taught me their ways, never be afraid, go and get paid

Your fam is worth the cementery or penitentary

Tension fills the air, spair no soul 

Niggas clap poles like deacons on Sunday's, no praise to the most high 

He can't help us out head filled with dreams, heart filled with doubt

Nigga tell me what you bout 

Straving for the green

The same check you save you cut your neck on
