Redd Tha Artist - Stayed Down

I stayed real with the people all the time
Told em I want it so I'ma go get it
Got no time for fakes that can't get up and grind
Kitty don't talk so don't get out of line or I'm breaking your spine
You better beware 'cause that's my state of mind
Sure enough, I'm a king and my blood is divine
But the leader's unstable while I'm on my climb
Not an excuse, I just do what is due
And you would to if you were keen to the truth
No false speaking when I come to the booth
Niggas be flossing wanna change up quick
But you stayed in the light so they see that
Brought it on yourself 'cause you just couldn't relax
That's why I sit back and tell them fools to get back
Or better yet back up off me
Niggas goin crazy sniffing white and popping molly
While I'm looking for myself a sophisticated shawty
Take it slow 'cause it's so many fish in the sea
How am I to know the one cut out for me
As for the time being, love the Mary Tree
They on my back I just wanna relax
Alreddy on a hustle 'cause I want them racks
No time for myself I be spreading me thin
Young smart king on a mission to win
In a world where they teach that our skin is a sin
On the road to death or either the pin
Gotta change up somewhere
Niggas going through insanity and they don't care
Got your head in the air, no matter the case
Like it'll work out if he say, in the meantime I'ma pray
But you gotta put work behind your dream
Mix words with will you'll manifest things
Learn divine laws that'll mold royalty
King or a Queen; add an heir, trinity
Feed his mind bet he grow up a beast
Searching for knowledge ready for a feast
Been telling these niggas that knowledge is key
But they really lost all about the money
Stuck in illusional power of currency
Where yo mind at, girl is you free
Intellectual lady and secret freak
A masterpiece something unique
If yo heart on lock got a master key
No limit to me like Master P
I'm doing this here for my family
And I don't really care bout casualties
Sipping brown, no daiquiris
Spelling that tried to add an E
My big cousin rep the East
Yea we grew up in the Pine
So we don't know bout wine and dine
And I done slowed down eating swine
A better me is on my mind
I'm in the mirror like straighten yourself
Get it together kuz you want the wealth
And the both of us know that you need the help
Get on your hustle you lessen your stressing
Others on knees steady waiting for blessings
Teaching myself I'm not needing a reverend
And I'm getting high while I'm learning these lessons
Like really you being a fool, lil shrimp
Don't know bout pimping but thinking you pimping
Getting shot over chicks either dead or you limping
Tho I stay low key really I'm dripping
And I keep my distance
These niggas ain't listening
