[Verse 1] Yo, I'm thinkin that I really got the plan I just got over sittin, dawg...they still don't understand It's funny...they never used to give the kid a chance Now they see he gettin hot, and they all becoming fans Like the Son of Man from Nazareth, I'm just drawing in the sand First they wanted my defeat, now they reaching out the hands I know they getting jelly...cause a brotha's in demand But they gotta call me Smuckers cause I'm making all the jams I'm feeling like I finally found my purpose I'm something like A.C. Green...it came after years of searchin I ain't perfect, but I'm learning what's lurking behind the curtain I'm for certain so allergic to not murdering verses And I know that I'm not into your rules And following your system's what I'm not finna do And they ask me when the hell I got so poppin and cool Man I started my education when I dropped out of school and I leveled up [Hook] Just a young, wild n***a with the Lord on my side I'm feelin like Biggie, b**h, I'm ready to die Polices got the bullets and they lettin em fly That's why we never ever celebrate the Fourth of July Only recognize that June 19th It's the Potluck, fresher than some new Nikes Seems like they angry since my mind got free But that's fine by me [T.D. Jakes sermon interlude] You cannot surround yourself with blindness and expect to see You cannot run with packs of angry women and expect to be happy and fulfilled You cannot hang out with a bunch of defeated, going nowhere, no vision men and be an overcomer You are who you hang around! (applause) [Verse 2] Yo, I'm kind of nervous, horrible trends within the churches Beautiful faces on these screens promoting idol worship Misrepresentation of the verses in the service And if a man gets the glory, then your petition's worthless They really be k**in kids in the schools These people don't feel like its sh** to do Lately I've been confused, new wave just ain't the move They say they in love with Pac, but they rather enjoy the Views And oh my goodness, they say that the kids are hellish But frankly, Frankie, you made us some monsters...what you gon tell us? You gave us all p**n addictions and told us to chase the cheddar Statistics say we're narcissistic and we can't get better, man But we know that we're not into your rules And following your system's what we're not finna do They ask me why the hell I be so hot with the truth Man I'm on a mission, dawg, and every time I hop in the booth, I level up! [Hook] Just a young, wild n***a with the Lord on my side I'm feelin like Biggie, b**h, I'm ready to die Polices got the bullets and they lettin em fly That's why we never ever celebrate the Fourth of July Only recognize that June 19th It's the Potluck, fresher than some new Nikes Seems like they angry since my mind got free But that's fine by me [Bridge] Man! They just lyin when they speak! How they preachin about money while we dyin in the streets? Lord! We just really been deceived You won't find me in a building while we dyin in the streets! Man! Maybe I should start with me I won't buy another Jordan while we dyin in the streets! Lord! Why my/your people been asleep? Man its time to wake up, we dyin in the streets! They just lyin when they speak! False prophets on a beat! We just really been deceived What a time to be alive, man we dyin in the streets! Maybe I should start with me Lord I really been asleep While we dyin in the streets While we dyin in the streets [Outro]
