Angel

Thank you, Reese!
Yeah
Real shit, yeah

In the kitchen on the stove, let me cook

Rest in peace Bill Withers, nigga, fuck a hook

You wanna hide something from us, put it in a book
But now we got 'em shook, we ain't dumb as we look
They took the education out the prison and the weights
'Cause when you liberate, you don't make the same mistake
Yeah, the government, they crack back, I'm done with debate
My niggas moving weight, J's fighting over shake
Uncle tried to stop drinking, now he living with the shakes
Fighting off my tears, tryna keep a poker face
My nigga hit a blunt, he ain't know that shit was laced
He done lost his fucking mind, now he got a murder case

And Hope's son died, can't imagine how he feel
On the front porch in Philly with a face full of tears
When he broke the news to me, swear to God I got chills
What the fuck I'm supposed to tell him knowing mine at the crib?
Say some bullshit like everything gon' be fine now
Knowing that it ain't, that's why I'm riding with my nine now

I can see the hate clear as day, let me find out
They running out of plays, now they tryna call a timeout
Corona taking over, planting fear up in our mind now
Niggas act retarded 'til somebody blow they mind out

Really from the gutter, niggas hate the day I climbed out
I was being patient, God told me it's my time now, yeah

Where are you, daddy?
I'm in the studio right now
Real shit
I don't even need no hook for this shit, you know what I'm saying?
This shit just bang, you know?
Zibi Q shit, yeah
Ayy, yeah

Never thought that I'd apply for nine-to-fives, man

No, it ain't easy to replace me if I died
I don't side with no religion that be God-fearing

Like who gon' save us if we all villains?
But still feeling the cut, got minds
Spilling, they don't tell you enough
My hand good, I been calling some bluffs
I brought a set of some gloves, but they still know that it's love
Crazy times, it's hard enough convincing a judge and paying fines

But I got me and mines, I get overly protective
I never count on twelve, they may kill who they should help
Need that same six feet from them too
Tell the truth and bring proof
Ain't my brother 'less we from the same roof
I see use in this separation
Give you time to reminisce on why you dedicated
I'm finding ways to change my life inside this meditation
I found a stage to make a way up out my situation

Therefore I could never hate

Just thanking God for all His grace

I try to keep that in your face, we been booming out of state
With everything I got to give it
When you did it, maybe then you can relate
You need patience, you need faith
Find your pace and make a space

Just try and make it home safe, even if you came late, ayy
But you still got invited, it be timing, you need that to find

Life just ain't that long
You know the mind never promise
I live so irresponsibly
It's like I just gotta do better
I be blessed to make it home
Shit, I hope I get there
Still pray before I fall asleep
Every night, yeah, oh
Congratulations on your new album, I love you, daddy
I love you too
