Nahveyah - wise man tales

Y'all need to hear this again
Just in case y'all forgot
A wise man once said
You live and you learn
Asked him bout death
He said, "shit, gotta wait your turn"
Went to the church cause I had questions
I need to learn
The Usher standing at the door said
"Just let it burn"
A wise man once said
You live and you learn
Asked him bout death
He said, "shit, gotta wait your turn"
Went to the church cause I had questions
I need to learn
The Usher standing at the door said
"Just let it burn"
I got a story bout this one nigga
I used to know
He worked everyday on an album
Just In hopes he could blow
I watched him everyday in the distance
Because I didn't know
Him
Personally
But his talent it shows
He dropped his first single called
"Celebrate"
And then it was "Vibes"
"Jumping out the sky"
"Yellow Tape"
then it was "Pac"
He dropped "The Flannel Tape"
And it happened
Nigga he popped
He dropped another tape and damn
Nigga it flopped
But I realize there was a change in his friends
The ones he had before success
Those the ones that he pushed to the end
He had an Entourage,
But they they only there for the ends
And he when started loosing fans
He started losing friends
I guess it got to him
Because now
He popping them xans
Smoking weed, other pills, sipping lean
I'm like damn
He said he'll
Never do drugs
Because he knew of a man
That taught him how to rap
And he didn't wanna be like him
A wise man once said
Don't argue with fools
Because the people In the distance
Can't tell who is who
Went to church to talk to God
They said that his shift was through
Would you have dinner with the devil
If there's a table for 2?
I prayed to heavens above
Went through the depths of the sea
Then I realize that I'm talking about me
One man said "it's guilt"
Another said "in due time"
Talked to my nigga and he said Bruh
"Nigga that's God
You gotta realize when he's giving a sign
You a mission to complete before you're completely out of time"
I said "how did you know?"
He said "cause I see you realer"
He said "look me in the eyes"
Then I looked in the mirror
I never felt as if there wasn't a God
Because I always believed
And had faith although I couldn't see
I know some don't understand
But I got an example to plan
You always expect to feel wind
When you plug up a fan
It's hard to explain
But that's how God feels to me
How would you explain
Colors to someone that can't see
How would you explain to a fish
That there's more than the sea
Sick morbidly,
But it's some people that is older than me
That struggle in finding they self
Feel like they stuck in the system
And when god was giving out his blessings
They felt like he missed em
So they open up they bible
For a slither of hope
But feel can't save you
I know a preacher that died from a stroke
I heard about another situation
That's Involving some folks
Inside a church in Charleston
When Dylan roof had came and
Randomly shot em
And at that moment
Life shifted at a dime
because the moment
that you think you got time
Is when you run out of time
Damn
They might wanna see you fall
You understand what I'm saying?
"Yes sir"
You understand what I'm saying?
"Yes sir"
This shit is real man
It's real
I been on the road
God just save my soul
God just give me hope
I been on the road
God just save my soul
God just give me hope
