Rituals

Yeah, that's well done if you said it's beef

Instead of grief, we passed our test

It's time that you met a piece (Blaow)

Used to be a nightmare, countin' bodies instead of sheep

Just got my dream job, but ironically now I never sleep

Here, pull up a better seat (Come on)

Get a close look at this game and claim you a set of cleats (Uh-huh)

Judge threw the book at a nigga, look

How I read the streets (Look at that)

Niggas think it's war just because a nigga done said his peace

But I'm just tryna let it be

Or some hooded niggas be stormin' your gates

Crip MAC, get a couple .5s drawn in your face

It often relates, this street shit is like walkin' in place (It is)

Did time on that state farm for you talkin' to jake (I did)

Yeah, I'm top five when you talk to the greats (Okay)

But they ain't wanna see me eat when they offered a plate (Ha)

The type of nigga that if we was hangin' out and it's late

And you left for home, I hit you back to make sure if you safe (Facts)

But at the same token, when that name spoken

Lames chokin' on they words 'cause

I been linked to extortion and rapes

Nah, I close my eyes, see coffins and wakes

I'm not that guy to tell 'em lies that we all can embrace

I knew it from the start (Ah)

Deep in the bones of my body

From the blood that pumps fluid in my heart (Yes)

You could lose it in the dark (Uh-huh)

When you don't see the lights yet (Yeah)

Maneuver with the sharks, but you don't feel the bites yet (Nah)

On the deep end tryna swim with no life vest

Yeah, we movin' weight, but no light reps

Nah, when you that nigga, who you listen to?

You might have copped a brick or two, but you ain't know the rituals

Ayo, huh, we inspired to be the richest plugs

No kiss and hugs, niggas shoot at your heart

And tell 'em this is love, a ditch is dug

I'm an illegitimate thug

Feds want me pinched, my studio called, crib is bugged

Another nigga that ain't fit the glove

That mean the evidence presented is not enough to convince a judge

I send a hit, get the witness plugged, listen, bruh

I was givin' slugs, gettin' rich sellin' vicious drugs

I'm in the section next to Mr. Rugs

When I sit in clubs, I drink a whole

Bottle and give your bitch the suds

I don't care if you Crip or Blood

This blue steel will make your whole

Clique drip blood 'til it's a flood

I got rich off pitchin' bud

Seven bedrooms, four and a half baths with expensive tubs

Nigga, this is what ambition does

I put a brick in the door and the dash, but I don't deliver grub

Huh, niggas fiendin' in desperation

Mad I exceeded they expectations

Then they start singin', bringin' my team in investigations

But my shooters gon' handle the cleanin' and restoration

Nigga, explanations was barely explained

I ain't get strong in the gym, I got strong from carryin' pain

Best believe I'm wearin' these chains

This necklace came from havin' addresses in various names

And now I'm cruisin' in the dark

But these rides drive themselves, my nigga

You see the amusement when it park

I do it from the art and we don't take light bets

It's a gamble to make music from the heart, huh

I told Daniel that I need two of each animal

Like I'm 'bout to use it for the ark

Huh, when you that nigga, who you listen to?

You might have sold a brick or two

But you don't know the rituals, nigga
