Artist: Jay Rock f/ Vic Smitty Album: 90059 Song: The Message Typed by: Cedmaster3K [Jay Rock] Uhh, it's like you're testin' me now This my testimony, look I got that recipe now Keep that good book on the dash with that weaponry out Ain't no mo' rules in this game plus no referees out All that stressin', it taught me lessons, caught blessings, went back to stressin' And that moment when death is present had me prayin' and askin' questions I had no answers so I had to bottle up that aggression Load up them hollows and I had to follow in my direction Don't know where I'm headed, I can't look back though, there's nothin' there but backstabbers, snakes that slither, decisions when nothin's fair Keepin' my faith in all, even if they come take it all Stand on my ground, I was born to fight so I'm takin' off Me and my champs on a mission Work with the baddest intention, sharp as a scalpel incision Gotta survive these conditions, vengeance is like a tradition If you practice what you're preachin', might just get what you wish [Chorus: Vic Smitty] Never thought it would be a easy, I hope we understand that Gotta earn it when you see me, I hope we understand that I look up at these tennis shoes over the wire I'm lookin' at these tennis shoes over the wire I know change comin' [Jay Rock] Now we have to get whatever we after See past the regular shit that we master Learn to survive through love and Jezebels and street pastors Live as free as we can cause Hell on Earth is being recaptured I'm caught in this ghetto rapture, spirit detached I'm smokin' Backwoods lookin' for greener pastures #webastards, from money change to snowflakes The body found, a cold case, we makin' it out from no place Now can you walk in these shoes with no lace or push that S-550 on shoes with no plates? I don't think so, shit is insufficient when you think slow That's why I keep one foot in the game like a flamingo But here's the thing though, picking my spots yellin' "Bingo" Posted with the work, 501's with the peacoat This ain't no "New Jack City" and I ain't Nino Wonderin' if change gon' come but we gon' see though [Chorus] - 2X
