Jay Cuevas - Passion

Okay so
A long ass time ago an old friend asked me
What would I choose between money and passion
This is what I think I gotta say

Yo
Writing rhymes is part of my habitat
Like Harry Mack freestyling, off the doming random facts
Random as being in Macau seeing a MAGA hat
Where the acid at
Need the one with a Buddhist flag attached
Red stars got me tweakin', flippin' out like acrobat
So gimme weed, I'm talking the organic ones at that
I got tricked into K2 and it's just a copycat
Shooting down my brain cells, spazzin' out, rat-a-tat
I went to Thailand, now I plan to travel back
Still amazed how over there you can legally sell a bag
And over here, you're basically living next to a rat
And then when shit happens
Guys you know be rattin'
You're in back of meat wagons
With your handcuffs fastened
Go to jail and eat ration
Wishing it could be salmon
Then your whole life flattens
Thin enough to be atoms
Dealing with the street drag-ins
Fuck that, I'll just pick passion

I'm not done talking tho
Listen

I predicted it
This fear that we're living in
Afraid the person next to you's the one to drop the evidence
Kendrick Lamar said it's probably inherited
Got me thinking if that counts as bad parenting
If you won't follow the code then don't play the game
Don't block up the road for you to switch lanes
It was your life to throw with your decisions made
Cause lastly you're on your own don't fucking speak names
End of the day, once you're caught you get time
Don't give in to play, you gotta keep a straight mind
There's no other way, cause either way it ain't kind
Best thing to say is "officer it ain't mine"
Or that you found it on the floor
No plugs to get some more
At the expense of someone's freedom, you done closed a door
I hope this shakes you to your core
Forever be your lore
You can't wash this away like footprints on the shore
No ctrl + z, no backspace to delete
And you'll reap what you sow
Once you speak it will haunt you for years in a row
Cause the heat that it brings will be here til you're cold
What you say will be eating your soul
