Stay To The Beat


White shadowed diamonds

Diamond covered necklace

They screaming vvs’s

Been in bikini bottom

Calling home to Texas

People changed on me

Pulled up in a Lexus

I never knew the trap

I dealt with a rat 

I been on the board

Getting $200 back

I left it alone 

They say the money was gone

Tired of robbery 

The streets got to me

I was caught with a wand

Then spoke a translation

The chamber of secrets was vacant

It took 12 disciples 

Yeah I read the Bible

I don’t feel entitled

The only words i listened to

Was from the burning bush

Nick named it Mary Jane 

They say there wasn’t a price

Love don’t cost a thing 

So are you in tune 

I was raised by some goons

Murder all through the room

Criminal ties is all that I knew

I’ll be waiting for you

Did someone save me for you

I disappeared

Couldn’t find my body tomb

Off of what you knew

I guess this what I do

I’m telling the truth

 

Outro

See money is the root of all evil

It just matters on how you use it

You could either feed a family or be foolish

Or be selfish with what you have or just pass away

But when you die

You got one question needed answered.... were you great

Will they still love you man..... you know they will
