O lord Can you Give me the strength To Face a hostile nation And fight sin With my pen My grind My pain My cries Made way For the days of My way My time These days I'm in My prime Shielded from your kind Their eyes They lips Their pride Their thoughts Their plans Their tries Their speech Their teeth Their lies Their fails Their wins Their sins Their holier than Thou Replies Too United Flying the friendly skies I Love dark meat Spreading her friendly thighs High as everybody This is how I survive You can Catch me On top of a cloud Somewhere Chilling with my nine I say Hook: That's why I gotta keep the toast close to me You better watch how you approaching me So what my n***as moving them c**a leaves & Babylon don't want us where we supposed to be That's why I gotta keep the toast close to me You better watch how you approaching me So what my n***as smoke marijuana trees & Babylon don't want us where we supposed to be That's why you hear that gun shot sound Blah Blah Blah Blah Man Down (x 3) (That's why I gotta keep the toast) Blah Blah Blah Blah Man Down (x 3) (That's why I gotta keep the toast close to me) Verse 2: (Blade Brown) Ride or collide wit me, big fo fifth on da side of me/for any man dat plan on trying me/high off the loudest weed I gotta be something like a prodigy, obviously/there ain't no stopping we/my mobb she is deep n reek havoc for da collard greens/With nothing but they words n they balls, dollar n a dream/seen a lot of things d evils n pain what money bring/Babylon infected ya brain u moving on a string/Bunch a puppets/Dat s**er shyt get me disgusted/to take a kid life in da public and think nothin of it/hatred how u come to love it/let me think what was it/oh we enslave yo ppl n turnt u against each other/now u could die in the wrong place over nothin but colors /now I ain't got da right to do nothing bkuz imma brother/but that's y imma be alright boy I was born to hustle /all we know is struggle, always close to trouble, they'll never love ya but hey dats prolly better for y'all Hook: That's why I gotta keep the toast close to me You better watch how you approaching me So what my n***as moving them c**a leaves & Babylon don't want us where we supposed to be That's why I gotta keep the toast close to me You better watch how you approaching me So what my n***as smoke marijuana trees & Babylon don't want us where we supposed to be That's why you hear that gun shot sound Blah Blah Blah Blah Man Down (x 3) (That's why I gotta keep the toast) Blah Blah Blah Blah Man Down (x 3) (That's why I gotta keep the toast close to me)
