"Hollowed Bricks" lyrics
James two, fourteen through 20
"What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?"
Ay, you gotta live before you can sit in the casket
One in the chamber ten in the mattress
Picture the curtain, shifting the fabric
Pray for the worst that's tentative tactics
Drown in the hood or you piss in the mansion
Caught in the flood or pretend it could happen
I know I'm that nigga she know I'm that nigga
We apples to oranges just similar baskets
(Shogun)
(Fucking pay me)
We hit a fork in the road nigga at this route I'd probably stop rapping
I put a fork in a hoe when the cheese look right I'd probably stop macking
I done upped guap on niggas, you is not that boy open up stop capping
Bring full stop to a nigga up yop on a nigga that is not my accent
Before all the tech wars niggas was wearing a tech it was not 'bout fashion
Put my foot on the gas lost grip of myself it was not about traction
(What else)
I ain't even trip 'bout a hoe if she call for a nigga it was not my actions (Uh-huh)
Guap for the hoe cause it feel good
Not cause the hoe make me feel good
Yop on my cause it better my chances
Not cause its making me feel hood
[?] for the ways that was breaking me down
I was probably due for a build up
Bandage the knots for a heal-up
I should probably be lifting the field up
But you gotta live before you can sit in the casket
One in the chamber ten in the mattress
Picture the curtain, shifting the fabric
Pray for the worst that's tentative tactics
Drown in the hood or you piss in the mansion
Caught in the flood or pretend it could happen
I know I'm that nigga she know I'm that nigga
We apples to oranges just similar baskets
"I wanted to be in the best suit and the best shoes and you know the best cologne and you know it was all image, you know you looked like a million bucks you have more opportunity to attract a million bucks than if you don't"
Ay, grass roots to a plot of land
Had a dream to fly not a not a plot to land
Seen eye to eye never eye to man
Held sticks, drums never spot a band
Before Prada nigga I was Prada France
I had been in Benz before I got a Benz
Told my dog, think about the promised lands
I'm the one that seen him through a promise lens
Till' you gave it all nigga you don't know about what a promise is
(Nigga you don't know that)
Fuck [?] nigga starved came up in a pot of grits
(Nigga you don't know that)
Spot the "Botta-bing" nigga frogs beefing out 'bout a bitch ('bout a bitch)
It's a school of hard knots having half knots hollow bricks
You gotta live before you can sit in the casket
One in the chamber ten in the mattress
Picture the curtain, shift through the fabrics
Nigga you don't even know it get active
Drown in the hood or you piss in the mansion
Caught in the flood or pretend it could happen
I know I'm that nigga she know I'm that nigga
We apples to oranges just similar baskets
"What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?"
