Waiting for Summer

Still thinkin' of the words to say
Eye witnesses got niggas life sentences
If I ain't learn to pray, I woulda never got away you know the way that I was livin' it
Stayed away, still one day the streets almost had me in its grip again
A low point, I had no choice for dividends
God knows it's a long road wit bitter ends
He didn't bend
Shout out to Teefah she showed me she was a keeper and I keep a short list of friends
Get the pen, when I cross a name, I hit da sheet wit permanent ink
You don't lose sleep after you sleep where murderers sleep
Let them words sink, they cannot carry burdens with me
Let these birds free
Broken hearts and broken wings tryna serve me
Some cried and cursed me for pullin' strings, like I ain't done worse things
I tell em first things first, I am dirt re-birthed in the earth please
Don't expect me not to be dirty
I'm the last of what's left of the pure breeds
Try to have some respect when we first meet

Think I'm wise now but I was a fool first
Tools burst at the sound of a rude curse
Movin' work, doin' dirt, runnin' through skirts
Love and war, mi amor and the truth hurts
And I do it for love
Reese thought he threw a one but he threw her the dub
Rosco started shootin' and ruined the club
If you lookin for the real, I'm as true as they come
Holy hands rollin' chants givin' grace to the bums
Free at last storms will pass keep ya faith when it comes
Killas different in prison when they can't take to guns
I'm a missionary in the scary villages dumb wit it, the enemy come wit it
Seen my uncle die with his ministry unfinished
Steady gettin' it wrong but eventually I'll get it
Cause if we are God's children, just simply without wisdom
He'll swiftly come down, give me the crown and tell me that He has sent me to walk different
Get His hands in the dirt, spit in it, I lost vision
Outta sight, they out the light envying God's image
No hard feelings
Hope that heaven don't got ceilings
