Shelter

We gon’ do it like this, do it like this, word
Check it out yo, yo, yo

[Chorus: x2]
Through difficult times it’s hard to maintain
Lookin’ for the shelter that blocks out the rain
Stress and pain could leave a mark on the brain
But one thing’s for sure black God remains

Through difficult times lots of unexpected
My pops disapproves cause I want to make records
But check it, my home life for second, I feel neglected
I bounce the first chance I get, I stop to think a second
I wreck it, damn I’m gonna need a place to sleep
No major cream!
I call up the God Supreme
I analyze, I’m plannin’ up a strategy
Fuck a fantasy I’m dealin’ with reality
Mentality that’s wilder than the average cat
I snatch a cream and sell a nigga’s candle wax
I hit the tracks, I hold cycle with my brothers
All is understood, peace lies amongst each other
But meanwhile, I maintain to keep the same
I smoke a bone every now and then to ease the pain
But through the struggle I know that only God remains

[Chorus: x2]

The streets is bugged
Seein’ young soldiers pedal drugs by the pound
The scheme is to catch cream at a fast rate
Start movin’ the product from state to state
Lay up and watch the profits inflate
Now you’re a big time hustler, full time heavyweight contender
But you must remember
That your thoughts must be cold just like December
Stay low key so you won’t catch a case
Throws comin’ in from the fiends who smoke base
Madman clientele, see your apartment start to swell
The last thing on your mind is a jail cell
You’re blind, all you see is money
Lost in the illusion of luxury
It’s a shame, you’re in the game for the fame and the name
So spin the wheel of misfortune
I heard with the sling that escorts ya
Now your life is in jeopardy
Because you the brothers that’s livin’ in the army

[Chorus: x2]

Keep calm and don’t expose and weak points
We’ll all line up and fight together
I say, we must all stay together as a single unit
