From the recording Le Goût du Risque
Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m from the block where rotten pastors steal your cash to get they bag up
And these dirty cops don’t serve us, just roll around to harass us
Ever since Eve bit the apple, every sinner became master
Somehow still force a smile, even though our souls been shattered
Robbed of childhood, we put our pain in those backwoods
We never sleep, so we don’t dream, we only chase “I wish I could”
If I ever said I got you, got you you gon see my word is good
Cause if loyalty the bond, never explains what’s understood
Treat a trap house like cathedral, during chaos we seem gleeful
Desensitized to the evils, our nature’s to be cerebral
The posse learned that love kills ask Mario Van Peebles
Dealing with the fam and famine got me going phantom
Flames I’m fanning, I need patience, change with new understanding
Departmentalized detachment, phone keeps ringing, I ain’t answer
Trapped inside my own mind, cause I’m still stuck on what happened
Hook:
Losing more endorphins, all these nights I had endured pain
Killers become saints, who will be singing in these war games?
Questioning my faith I guess I’m screwed now if the Lord came
I tried to find my path, but every step just leaves a new strain
Why even pray for change, if every dead end where the noose hang
Verse 2
Finalizing sales first you break it down then pack it in
You ball your heart out, get no ring don’t matter how hard practicing
These rounds won’t come with applause, if they pulling up to clap for him
My vision’s 20/20, just don’t make me grab that mask again
Elusive precious seconds, doc prescribed antidepressants
Persona is effervescent, a façade hoping for blessings
Allude to one’s ascension, cause for discourse and contention
Dance with doubt, hate, and obsession truth gets lost in false perception
Remain loyal to the craft, but this bill or check why I’m stressing
New edition of my dreams can breed division with the cream
And the system know it clings to you, doing devilish things
So never switch up on the team, or dare bite the hand that could feed
Tryna change the ambience, intrusive thoughts won’t behave
The streets can be an Ambien, leave you lost in a daze
Keep getting higher, searching for a spot to escape
Caught between the mountains and the pills while destiny awaits
Hook:
Losing more endorphins, all these nights I had endured pain
Killers become saints, who will be singing in these war games?
Questioning my faith I guess I’m screwed now if the Lord came
I tried to find my path, but every step just leaves a new strain
Why even pray for change, if every dead end where the noose hang
Verse 3
Bred with heart of champions, that’s just the camp we in
I seen good kids turn into killers, he ain’t ever had a chance to win
They act different behind the tints, sentences longer than transients
Transcend your kin, break curses, comprehend feeling God’s hand again
When you can’t trust your friends, the reformation must begin
They reek of hatred, lustful sin, weak complacency comforting
Poverty leads us to punishment, prophecy reads from within
Greatness comes in abundance when you make your peace it’s humbling
The paradox of growth, where the pain becomes enlightenment
Begged God to take my soul, had me searching for a sign since
Grateful for the lows that taught me how to reach my highest sense
Conquer your own demons, the blessings will invite you in
We’ve endured the flames, destroyed the chains in Horus’ name
The lore has changed, bullets in war hit brains
We ascend and then stake our claim
The will remain build legacies lasting after the trumpet sings
Hook:
Losing more endorphins, all these nights I had endured pain
Killers become saints, who will be singing in these war games?
Questioning my faith I guess I’m screwed now if the Lord came
I tried to find my path, but every step just leaves a new strain
Why even pray for change, if every dead end where the noose hang
