[Intro: Call Me Ace]
Ace! What's good, bruh? What's goin' on, man?
You back? Snap, dude, it's been, like, 4-5 years, fam. Wow!
So what you gon' be rappin' about, dude? Wh-what?
What you wanna speak about?
I just wanna speak the truth
[Hook: Call Me Ace]
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Hold up, I like that
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
I just wanna speak the truth
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Wait a minute, I like that
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
[Verse 1: Call Me Ace]
I just wanna speak, that John seventeen
Col-on seventeen, know what I mean
I ain't ga**ed up with a whole lot of steam
I just know that I roll with the ghost on my team
Born again, back from the dead, don't need no doctor
Character changing daily but I don't need no Oscar
Punchlines don't gotta punch hard, I ain't no boxer
I ain't gon' dread your reviews, I ain't no Rasta
Bredren mi eat mi pork an' mi shrimp
If God made it, bred, then it goes on the list
If I process that with the bones and the skin
And ask, "God bless that," with a Coke and a cig
Just digest that, bred, that won't make no sense
I digress bad, too many rhymes surrounding my thoughts
My sound has been called a art
A sovereign callin' from God, it's all for hollerin' truth
But why that gotta be hard?
[Hook: Call Me Ace]
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Hold up, I like that
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
I just wanna speak the truth
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Wait a minute, I like that
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
[Verse 2: Call Me Ace]
I just wanna hit 'em with a psalm or a proverb or something
There's too much goin' wrong, wanna solve it with something
If you heard the alarm in your car you'd be runnin' to go
Pause it or halt or disarm it with something
We the body tryna garner the harvest because it's our cause
To be raw just like salt when we come in
Walking the lawn in the dark no "revolver" just "peace"
But they act like its Pearl Harbor or something
Run through enemy territory for everything that had been stolen
Hop in this Uber, bredren, we rollin'
Focused on divine appointments at any moment
Keep it loaded for in-and-out of season, y'already know this
Roamin' the bars, tryna signal the lost
Wanna follow how we follow, gotta figure the cost
But give it a thought, eventually it'll turn into action
Then you'll be pa**ionate about what we rappin' about
You'll wanna speak the truth
[Alternate Hook: Call Me Ace]
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Hold up, you like that
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
I just wanna speak the truth
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Wait a minute, I like that
(Why is that so hard? Why is that so hard?)
Ayo, play that back!
