Dead Faces
[Chorus]
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
Pardon me if you think that's basic
[Verse 1]
Gotta get the fetti for my momma and them
Gotta get the fetti, free my dawg out the jam
It's the end of the month
And my baby need milk
Gotta keep it moving, no I can't sit still
Save-A-Lot suck so I smoke that pot
Gotta stay up, gotta keep good thoughts
But my homies on the block
Always slanging that rock
Hoes being hoes, tryna find good cock
Trapped in the trap, just a fucking dead end
Visit to the church, toss prayers up again
"God, if you real, please don't let me die broke
I'm providing for my daughter
I'm just tryna give her hope
Hope for a life I ain't ever get to live
I'm just asking for some action, praise God, amen"
Doing my best, just tryna be patient
My palms still itching for some green dead faces
[Chorus]
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
Pardon me if you think that's basic
[Verse 2]
20 years later, still ain't seen no changes
Misplaced hate bringing shame to our nation
Saying get a job but they'd rather see me in jail
Plotting on me, always tipping the scale
My skin tone Kit Kat, they want me to get back
Get lost to the click clack, distort all the facts
Using ball and tunes as way to distract
From America's sins and the weight of its impact
Shit's so flaw, how we gonna resolve?
It's gonna have to involve getting our hearts to evolve
That's a tall task, yes, but I gotta interject
What's impossible to solve always possible with God
Call me optimistic, I'm just being specific
To the only solution
To the nation's pollution
We don't need to grow currency, that don't matter eternally
What we really need to grow is some fucking maturity
[Chorus]
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
All I'm really really trying to get is dead faces
Pardon me if you think that's basic
