Jeffrey Peterson - Let Me Rap lyrics

[Intro] Let me rap! [Verse 1] I bet the devil hate it when he see me make it Came from the ghetto, I will never sell my soul to Satan Hopin' that a n***a settle, but it ain't no contemplatin' Music all I know, end of conversation Concentratin', tryna take my mind away from thinking bad thoughts that lead to Drake and marijuana Taking lace with bath salts I've been in the prison system but that road a crash course They gave me government a**istance, but it's f** your task force What I need a mask for? I don't hide the pain I feel inside The pain that's in my heart, the pain that's in my soul I pray to God, that he save my rivals, 'fore they dead upon arrival All i speak is holy scriptures like I recite from the Bible. I'm the Father, Holy Trinity, my poetry a remedy I did the time, they sentenced me, for five years, I wasn't free I've changed for the better. Now I'm hopin' you've forgiven me To all my enemies, just know I came to k** the industry [Hook] [x2] Now let me rap, because these other rappers wack They say, I'll only grow if the radio got my back They say. I'll be dead or in jail and on top of that It's a spot for me in hell but I'm young, rich and black. Let me rap [Verse 2] These rappers have nothing to say I'm planning for tomorrow, while you thinking 'bout today You live life in a bottle, while I'm tryna make a way Out the slums where the good die young every day In the hood where I'm from, mothers' sons pa** away By a gun, he's not even 21 Let us pray, that the kids growing up live to see another day 'Cuz every time, I go outside somebody life get took away Because, it's real out her, n***as will k** all fear Even in the summer time, n***as get chills out here And ate a mill I swear, I'm tryna build all year And become a Fresh Prince, call me Will out here But ever since, my homie died of homicide I promised Mom that I'd survive and I would strive He live inside me, he alive Through these words and every line You hear my blessings in these rhymes I'm often stressin' in these times but I don't question the divine [Bridge] Lord save me. Can you save me? ' Cuz ever since my n***a died, I've been crazy.Lord save me. Can you save me? No need to cry I need to raise my daughter to a lady She's my piece of mind [Hook] [x2] Now let me rap, because these other rappers wack They say, I'll only grow if the radio got my back They say. I'll be dead or in jail and on top of that It's a spot for me in hell but I'm young, rich and black. Let me rap [Verse 3] Spreadin' love to haters When I'm gone they talk about me You never held me down When I get on, you never doubt me I bet you say, you had my back before you knew I rap I bet you say, Hip Hop is dead and I brung it back I bet you say that every track I'm on, I murdered that I shmurdered that, Chicago'd that, the new Iraq But we in America, where crooked cops is k**in' blacks And we see the medals of honor for all these stupid acts What if we start shootin' back? Bet they'd bring the nooses back I just want peace on Earth, somebody bring the deuces back This world is out of order, all you see is n***a's slaughter and The Fox TV reporters say that we are thugs, but we are martyrs Tomorrow never promised, so today, I've got your back Kept my talent to myself, nobody knew that I can rap If you ever need some help, homie, just tell me where it's at 'Cuz if you k** another n***a, you ain't ever comin' back
