6lack - Scripture lyrics

[Intro] No matter what, you can't take what I've been through Imagine if I never went through what I went through Yeah Came, up, uh [Verse 1] Ay, I want more Until I get it I won't slow I'm on tour Opening some brand new doors On top, but we came from the floor Do you believe in foresight? (I do. Hm-hm. 'Cause I can't ignore life) Look, I wrote this in a hotel the size of a closet Just to show you that I could do it Just to show you that it ain't much to it If you got your hand out, don't be surprised when I look at you stupid Where were you and when there was me and the music? Don't compare me to no n***a that I'm better than Still new, but my attitude veteran And ain't nothing wrong with it Since six I knew I was gon' get it I ain't working till my palms start itchin' Ever since a n***a put a gun to my face That sh** that really make you think, yeah I was thinking 'bout my kid, yeah Sixteen, didn't even have a kid, yeah Them bullets really hoave you thinking about your unborn Imagine if my whole life was untorn Imagine when that car flip Don't call it [?] A blessing that I ain't gone yet [Chorus] I've been getting closer to God (yeah) Not a scripture, we been talking direct (pretty line) Send for me and I send you closer to God (yeah, word) Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] I'm on pace I figured out this sh** ain't no race Up the stakes Got hungry, then I scrape the plate It ain't hard for me to change my ways Do you believe in foresight? (I do. Hm-hm. 'Cause I cannot ignore life) Look, the playing field ain't never been even I ain't bout to make that sh** either See, I'm tryna copy my aura, they some readers Study all you want, but I came up out that freezer Getting bred across the Mediterranean like a pita You a heat seeker, speak up n***as telling me to speed up You can fit your talent in a beat cup Leaders of the new school, I think they need us But first, let me light my weed up My intuition ain't never let me astray With all this sh** on my plate Think I be running in place But I step to that mirror, look myself in the face Can nobody take my place, said they got me then they flake You can try, you contest You get sent to the gods I'm a R&B n***a with a hip-hop core (Ha-ha. Said I'm a R&B n***a with a hip-hop core, yeah We just had to do that, if I don't rap anywhere on this, people are gon' hate me)
