Six The Don - Elohim lyrics

{Intro: Kanye West} When someone comes up and says Something like, i am a God Everybody says “who does he think he is?” I just told you who i thought i was A God I just told you {Verse: Six The Don} Hustling was my crutch Had me disabled Future was unstable Powder on the table We used to steal cable My family enabled We took the unpaved route I’m wondering if they knew... Doing the same thing expecting change Thats insane (Uh) To drive the Range, I was deranged Out of my brain (Uh) I poisoned vеins to sustain Had to be vain (Uof) I refused to bе broke I need a break through Memories vivid As some ni**as held triggers Point blank to my face Asking, “Wheres the safe?” As Biggie Smalls played For My Downfall, they prayed I swear that was the fall from grace And that day... I didn’t fold, didn’t shake Didn’t bend, didn’t break Most would defecate I stared death in the face On the floor as we laid Zip tied and taped Who sent these jack boys to our place? To think ni**as will kill their own cousins For the purses These urges I never read the Bible or been to churches No Service Im surfing these crime waves in surges Submerged And yet I surfaced Knowing I got a purpose (Uh) But when your circumstance a Circus My best friend murdered Someone at seventeen That changed his trajectory Sent to prison as a teen How’s he supposed to be A man But that’s not what he sees It took seeds To really make him plant his feet Tears roll when we speak Simply, for the fact he’s free And at peace He choose to leave up out the ghetto To me that’s most thorough ni**as dying under street signs But ain’t never leave they borough I purify the air though I’m moving like I’m Eros The villains were our hero’s And that’ll get us zero We should idealize our heroines They named a drug heroin You think that’s a coincidence ni**a? Zero in It’s in your roots for you to lose Thats the type of sh*t they stew See to them it’s never old but To us we never knew Take an inner city school Remove a parent from the roof Starve a childhood of his time Then feed him lies just like it’s food Import a gun, give him a nine Give him time, make it cool Let him shoot, send him to jail and That’s how they recruit You! Black and brown youth Slave labor in a prison That’s a business that booms To understand that That’s to understand truth They’ll give you awards to go to war And kill some dudes you ain’t knew They drop bombs and then food They probably poisoned that too Learn to channel your aggression As you step out your shoes Just know that some would accept oppression Even if their ass knew In plain view it’s hard to hide sh*ts like the dark side of the moon Think a river, make it a mirror Then reflect on your moves The Elohim, the living God, is you It’s true One time for all my roses out the concrete That grew I rather fish for information Then put hooks in my tunes Essentially when you’re essential You could do what you do Independence, that’s a blessing I ain’t confined by no rules We need the contracts new The sh*t that Kanye spewed You call me crazy but you paying me I ain't shining no shoes Check out my timing with tunes I hope you’re mining these jewels The Elohim, the living God, is you It’s true (Uh)
