Straightface Forever - Swarm Lyrics

I've never been afraid to take a blow only to bust back see
I'm from streets of 305 where they get live
Strip a nigga naked beat him down maybe take lives
Wrong choice of words will leave you dead
Keep em inside
Momma always said to stay inside when in Perrine
Don't tell them niggas where your grandma stay or where you reside
Uncle always got me shadowboxing dropped the knowledge
Even homies can be double crossing
The world is dangerous
Lyrical intent reminiscent of Rembrandt
Sins of the father pride is the only chain on my pigment
Spit the truth and then you watch the whole world spite you
Your own people fight you they like you then they knife you
This vicious cycle left me holier than Michael
A prophet without a home spitting filthy just to spite you
Trying to keep my focus all this rapping shit is bogus
Y'all just profit while we falter kids is dying with no father
Lord jesus don't you see us we in church every Sunday
Preachers profiting by hollering everything will be okay
They kill us in these streets different bodies every week
All these momma's left to weep while we suffer aint no peace
I've been struggling to find any meaning in this murder
Not a chance that I'll ever be silent til you heard us
Forgive me if I throw away the word with these curses
Man I've barely scratched the surface

We aint giving up our freedoms or our visions
Or the basic inspirations of a generation faceless
So face this slipping through the cracks of the basement
Erase this everything is a lie go ahead and take this fakeness
Hourly hiding your mind you cowardly wishing to find the answer
Thats hidden inside your elders the victors that write your history
Keep the truths in the throne are you willing to break the mold
Of what Moses treasured as gold?
Is it worth it? We kill ourselves but beg for help so I should curse this fight
They say they christians but they judging to I hate them right
Looking backwards all religion is the cancer right
The world is in shambles and we all know how to fix it huh
Instead of love we spreading hate Im here to call the bluff
We all broken yet the kettle's never black enough
As the pigeons cry and the dust festers in eye's my mind is under influence
Of ignorance and the lies of the enemy who has seated himself among
The believers and leaders
Truth isnt truth enough and God isnt huge enough
Our problems aint real enough these distractions are killing us
Tell niggas bite the dust in money before God we trust
A sin is a sin but they gonna burn before we give this up
Rats are the truth in us the lions they weep for us
Survival they took from us the future composed of rust
Let floodgates bust

I've fallen deep, so deep into your hell
Don't fall asleep, just breathe
Just breathe
I've fallen deep, so deep into your hell
Don't fall asleep, just breathe
Just breathe
