Shalom:
UH! For my niggaz that’s lost in the sauce
Gettin’ mixed up tossed
Switched up and crossed
Still get up and boss
Hold your head my nigga we gon’ ride for the cause
And even when they don’t, we gon’ slide wit some dogs ON DAWGZ
You know they like to bite wit’ no bark
Sneak up on a nigga wit da hawk on God
For a lil bit of change demon time all wrong
Same ole song different tune carry on
Battle torn ova block we don’t own
My nigga still tryna get some status wit’ some cheese for a home
Put Gz on domes give ‘em peace wit’ the chrome
And niggaz can’t breathe they won’t leave us alone
They say peace is in the home lord knows I know
Huh! If you know then you know
They say peace is in the home lord knows I know
I’m still tryna glow, let’s go!
Plotts:
Ah yo chop shops slabs of rock posted on the back blocks
Celtics Patriots Bruins home of the Red Sox
Fades braids cornrows and them dreadlocks
Graduated from the projects of hard knocks
Too late to turn back after the Feds kop
Trying to emulate your favorite rapper in hip hop
Stayed on the grind ever since my 1st zip lock
Cats been copying styles way before tik-tok
Back before cats was scared to fight, you'll get your shit rock
Easy keep talking shit if you don't believe me
How you gonna act tuff and get done greasy
17.5 niggas swear that they Jeezy
Huh who really getting numbers like that
And if you really is then hit a nigga right back
I guarantee on my life I can call it cap
Cuz nowadays cats is telling lies in their raps that’s facts

Shalom:
Too black too proud too real loud
Too much for the vultures off in the crowd
Too much backlash for the blackin’ out
Why the fuck are we here if we aint spazzin’ out
Nothing prepared me for what my eyes have seen
And nothing seems right for what my eyes do see
Social so the media could really see me
Affirmation to breathe don't know what to believe
Turn your music to memes gotta set yourself free
Only when I'm alone and I’m in my zone
Only when I connect spirit shiver my bones
Gotta feel my pain that's all I've ever known, come on!
Plotts:
Too bold too cold for these stories untold
Trapped in this hell hole where we gotta call home
They know we smarter than most, but they won't let us own
Property no monopoly scientology clones
Could barely pay bills so they forced to kop zones
Hoping fathers get caught leaving mothers alone
Average hood household thru out every city
Under paid minimum wage these times ain't pretty
But we stay pushing to keep the bills together
Start a riot in this bitch ‘till things get better
Start a riot in this bitch broke with no cheddar
Gotta get it how you get it when that’s all you know
Real life reality of this hustle and flow
Try to flow and hustle plus stay on the low
Ducking and dodging the enemies that gang five 0
And with a war going on we still fighting for survival

Pleasure and Pain

Plotts:
Pleasure and pain but there's always pain with the pleasure
Too much held up on our heart, yeah too much to measure
Trying to forget the bad times good times we treasure
Knowing God got our back we just gotta remember
Keep pushing thru these times these times we endeavor
Made it this far thru the struggle so never say never
I pledged my allegiance to the streets but ain't no gang member
Always ran with fam so my folks together
If you get it then you got it cuz most minds ain't clever
They under average did dirt but I ain't claiming savage
What’s the point to that when I'm just trying to live lavish?
Ain’t trying to carry that weight that's more baggage
Then I need to hold all my niggas I really call my niggas
They all considered my bros you get it though?
I know it’s hard to think critical
When our minds are preset to only think like we criminals
Shalom:
YEAH! On the day that I was born I was held by the Lord
Baby showered in the wrong all the pain I endured
Let’s me know furthermore I don been here before
I don been down this road I don settled some scores
I don picked apart my brain and picked my heart up off the floor
I don ducked a few storms just to keep my body warm
LORD KNOWS… the tears I don shed for the nights I could have died
For the moments when the truth was hiding right behind the lies
When I couldn’t face myself and for the days that I would cry
Just to pick me again and do it time after time
Just to hug myself for free and look myself up in my eyes
Tryna manifest this life of mine and keep myself from dying
Tryna hold on to them better days and I pray
These scars are on display and I’m the one that’s in the way
Fair to say
I’m happy I’m alive and here today
Sucka Free and out the way I knew that it would change

Shalom:
From the bottom of my heart I never meant to do you wrong
I know you’re strong now you seemed to even up the odds
I know it’s wrong how I used to call you out and all
My pain was real loud the shit was real foul
I’m glad you’re healed now
Cuz really I ain’t got nothing to do with that
The motivation that you had just to get past
Everything that I inflicted it was real bad
You never looked back I’m glad you did that
I was hurting just to break you and you fixed that
You was perfect I’m the one that’s just a bitch ass
You got yourself back I hope you heard that
Didn’t deserve that AND STILL
With so much to say I should say less
My ego took a rest you should get it off your chest
I know you’re fine but tell me if you’re open let me own it
Lord knows I needed a moment and I’m much better for it
Plotts:
Knowing I messed up. But ima changed man
Wasnt ready for commitment. Had no plans
You wasn't ready either. We was both young
I was still growing up. When I had my son
Too late to apologize. Had to move on
Nobodies perfect. Cuz We all do wrong
At some point in life. Always can't be right
Tired in the day. from all the sleepless nights
Up yawning. Arguing til 5 in the morning
Reg flags everywhere. Didn't heed the warning
Tears fallen down your face. Constantly pouring
Rained on your parade. Kept my feeling dormant
Kept it to myself. So I can't complain
And the man that I am. I took all the blame
Didn't care at the time. I was stressed out
For us to go different ways. Guess was the best route.
