Savior Lyrics

[00:00.00] If you derive your sense of identity from being a victim
[00:04.11] Let's say, bad things were done to you when you were a child
[00:08.12] And you develop a sense of self that is based on the bad things that happened to you
[00:15.02] You ever seen your mama strung out while you studied division?
[00:17.50] Your uncle ever stole from you, day after Christmas?
[00:19.59] Seen both of those in them county jail visits
[00:21.66] The first and the 15th, the only religion
[00:23.86] Noodles in the microwave, shark tank, tidal wave
[00:25.74] Grandma shootin' niggas, blood on the highway
[00:27.91] Crosses on the dashboard, you just want a platform
[00:30.17] I wanna take everything that I ask for
[00:32.41] Catch me a body, I'll put that on anybody but my mama
[00:35.72] She showin' a pattern for certain
[00:37.34] I think it's white panties and minimal condoms
[00:40.44] My uncle would tell me the shit in the movies could only be magic
[00:43.91] This year, I did 43 shows and took it all home to buy him a casket
[00:47.95] Jack of all trades, got money out the way
[00:50.08] Put my heart in the faith, I'm good, love
[00:52.23] Cousin in the courts, heard he jumped off the porch
[00:53.66] Turn a brick to a Porsche, I'm good, love
[00:56.25] Catch us, you know I'm gon' rack up
[00:57.89] I need the advance and the equity to match up
[00:59.72] The engineer dead, if the drive don't back up
[01:01.86] These words come of God, you could never outrap us
[01:03.77] Nowadays, gotta walk cautious, ayy
[01:05.65] Nowadays, I'm a new prophet, ayy
[01:07.87] Game dead, no autopsy, ayy
[01:09.70] City girl with they new hobby, ayy
[01:11.88] Catch a body, put the Prada in the ta-da
[01:13.93] Nigga 'bout to get some pussy, give me five (give me five)
[01:15.80] Gun dirty, got the thirty in the purse, purse
[01:17.97] Tight bitch, put a perky in her salad
[01:19.85] I gotta pray for the basic
[01:22.02] I never seen my niggas bust down faces
[01:24.20] Them niggas not tasteless
[01:26.15] I only had one chance, I ain't even waste it
[01:29.21] Been down on my luck
[01:30.67] Been down on my luck when I fall
[01:33.21] I gotta get up, I gotta get back up and ball
[01:38.16] R.I.P., under my people
[01:39.48] I'm proud of my people, I'm proud of my dawgs
[01:42.09] My ex got a beamer, she want me to see it
[01:44.07] I still ain't gon' see it, like, okay
[01:46.00] I love when they ratchet, I don't do her Patek
[01:47.93] They can still do the watches the old way
[01:50.01] She think I'm conceited, I'm thinkin' 'bout cheatin'
[01:52.31] I don't do the flowers or role-play
[01:54.28] Now, how can I fold lookin' at twenty million
[01:56.20] This money don't come with a probate
[01:58.45] Mama, I said it'd be okay
[02:00.55] I got this shit brackin' in four days
[02:02.15] Four eyes, four eyes, two eyes
[02:03.95] Switch sides, nigga be fresh out
[02:05.58] Suicide doors, I suicide, suicide
[02:08.12] Lambo' body, who gon' stop me?
[02:10.02] Baby Keem is too wild
[02:11.93] Function at the temple
[02:13.68] Jesus pieces in the luau
[02:16.53] Mr. Morale
[02:18.71]
