Collection Plate

[00:00.22] What's going on with that dynamic in prayer?
[00:02.32] Why do- are we amongst the most praising people
[00:05.70] But yet we seem to be on the bottom of so many areas in society?
[00:09.99] Took a while to get straight, but made it through the lean years
[00:13.06] Eye still red from havin' to tread where the green is
[00:15.86] Inverted tactics, all dirty acts, never clean bins
[00:18.84] The battle scenes of having no means made us mean kids
[00:21.91] Almost caught us, those was rough waters, the team bridged
[00:24.97] Suffered damages, only mustard sandwiches was seen fridge
[00:28.01] Wished for bun in the oven, just not while loving my teen whizz
[00:31.12] Pull a gun, machine, if you come between his
[00:36.24] If really wanted to bless me, would've left me that collection plate
[00:42.34] If really wanted to bless me, would've left me that collection plate
[00:46.61] Uh
[00:48.35] Afraid I prayed too quiet
[00:50.58] Couldn't hear
[00:51.13] Was often obliged to say, "If I die today, I wouldn't care"
[00:55.46] What good is rare? You shouldn't stare
[00:58.05] Worst happens to the best, never test, the hood is fair
[01:01.29] Schemes of cooking up bread had us busy holding toast
[01:04.32] By and large, knew I'd catch a charge before the Holy Ghost
[01:07.26] Became street-wise where the heat rise, you know the coast
[01:10.57] My brother swore to tug-of-war, I was shown the ropes
[01:13.65] If I knew, I'd have been at the pew writing legit
[01:16.47] Few could've really used that lil' bite and a sip
[01:19.40] In the past, going nowhere fast, every night was a trip
[01:22.47] Shoe hoarded, was suited for it, but never liking the fit
[01:25.33] Learn to fight in the pit
[01:26.80] Can't get loose? Tighten your lip
[01:28.57] I go hard when it's time to roll, guard, and then tighten your pick
[01:33.15] (Tighten your pick)
[01:36.72] If really wanted to bless me, would've left me that collection plate
[01:40.60] (Bless me, bless me)
[01:42.55] If really wanted to bless me, would've left me that collection plate
[01:49.11] If really wanted to bless me, would've left me that collection-
[01:52.01]
