lyrics

[Verse 1: Sulaiman]

Think I'm gone up off that Hennessy, cause I never stop I never settle
Like my grandmother down in Tennessee, pulling strings just like a black gepetto
Make a fucking devil see the light right, spook who set by the door like a night light
Fuck a fight night, this is my life, black in American zeitgeist
Cause I'm the answer they gimme problem, fuck it I might let the semi solve em'
On a tangent I signed on the dotted line, cause my co-signer whiter than Lily Allen
Tell me you knowing my struggle stupid, walk a mile in my shoes bet you fuckin' foop it
I want justice just as much as everyone, on my knees with my back to the setting sun
I give no fuck of no 'Merican, you a Maricon to yo very bones
I go Barry Bonds on that glass ceiling make em feel it up inside they fairy homes
Fairy tells know em very well, twenty nations under green gods
Chickens coming home to roost nigga, word to El Hajj Malik Shabazz
I can see the stars in a black child, constellations in a black smile
League of Nations in a fucking basement and a cave dweller in a attic wow
Style wars what it call for, smoking hay close the barn door
Liberate us from the fucking haters cause the trap jumpin' like parkour


[Chorus]

If you succeed or you fail keep that belief in yourself
Know that your health is your wealth, only get high as you fell
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
If you succeed or you fail keep that belief in yourself
Know that your health is your wealth, only get high as you fell
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well


[Verse 2: Sulaiman]

Well, why don't you pray, why don't you coulda and shoulda
Hot as you see it you sear, how could you walk over fire
Never get burnt up or fear being branded and live
Now that you garnered the chip how could you suit up for them
Hot at the mall wit a bent pineapple Ciroc wit clear opportunity to pay community rent
Put em out rip by rip, you the only one that win you lose
How you not pissed by this, dehydrated ideas the juice
Signifying monkey lions is through, Cecil turn a hunter right into food
Ain't no wonder why they want my side dead, shoulda never gave niggas money it's too true
Two times for the po po, don't serve don't protect don't do shit
One time for the judge tho, cause ain't no reform in a big stint
Ya ask how a nigga know, prison just a round trip ticket on the low
Ya in ya out ya in ya it ya old
So on so forth till ya body get cold lets get bold
Two times for the po po, don't serve don't protect don't do shit
One time for the judge tho, cause ain't no reform in a big stint
Ya ask how a nigga know, prison just a round trip ticket on the low
Ya in ya out ya in ya it ya old
So on so forth till ya body get cold lets get bold


[Chorus]

If you succeed or you fail keep that belief in yourself
Know that your health is your wealth, only get high as you fell
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
If you succeed or you fail keep that belief in yourself
Know that your health is your wealth, only get high as you fell
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
How could you dry up the well how could you dry up the well
