NG3 - I Believe lyrics

[Verse 1] One night I was walking down the street Megargee I saw some funky brothers that I thought would harm me There was 3 of em all as tall as Kobe So I crossed the street from Megargee to Oakley Now I bet from that story you thought that they was black With all the racism in the world, Hey, I get that But you can't judge a man just based on his sight Cause those three tall goons, man they were white Why can't we look past the color of the skin? Just cause they black doesn't mean they wanna beat you in And now we voted in Donald Trump Very racist man this country need a speed bump This is comin from a young white male on the streets Watching the office Dwight Schrute bears and beets Now I know nobody really listens to me but for this small moment I'll just believe [Hook 1] Now I believe in making money quarters and dimes But I know money is hard to get sometimes And I believe in having friends and being kind But I know for friends kind needs to be intertwined Now I believe in being real and not being fake But I know this world is full of snakes And I believe in getting what you deserve But I know this is a really messed up world [Verse 2] How you boutta tell me that I can't even rap Imma clap back, split ya back on a rack, and you'll watch your world unwrap Look back Age 12 you was living like a chacham Tryna store all the knowledge for the world to come Skip forward boo hoo age 22 You were living based on what was best for you Acting like a Nehene straight trippin Then it hit you that you need to start flippin Move towards a couple more years you were like forty-five You were living like you was barely even alive Thinkin “I need to work as much as I can before I die” Man you know I try To live life How are you not scared to pa**? Go under the gra** Lying dead in a coffin fully made of gla** [Hook 2] Now I believe in being good and giving respect But I know you can't expect the best And I believe in being happy with what you got But I know that isn't always a thought And I believe everybody needs a change But I know everybody gonna act the same And I believe in praying to the lord up above But I know all we really need is love
