Menace - Wave lyrics

[Intro] Welcome to the belly of the beast Where most of us will never make it out alive That's just the harsh reality, but you gotta keep dreaming though, keep fighting [verse 1] Shots fired another life is lost Pops crying it feels like christ is gone Cops sirens all you hearing in the background Police ready to give the pat down Stop and frisk they find you pack now All you had to pay the rent get confiscated Life's a b**h now that's an understatement My life is sacred like the holy book Holy matrimony with the phonies End up in cells lonely or in a casket Reaper basking as the magets eat your flesh away Can't keep your breath forever Gotta remember Monetary gains don't last forever Rats going always want your cheddar Gats bring cats together, they think they clever Stick up and jack the world together It rains forever from stained barettas The coldest era Man f** a sweater, don't know the weather We Need proppellas so we could fly away together Real dogs going live forever Pray for the day we meet in heaven Uhh They put my dog to sleep no tempurpedic Never lost a fight was undefeated But he was crucified Begged for the truth that lies Between his shooters eyes Then let my ruger fly, until his shooter dies Now its a cycle we moonwalking like michael On a collision course we need more than that geico My life is uninsured tell me whats here to die for ? Its all about survival no time to pick up this bible You Gotta get up and grind though, You know how this life be Gotta get them nikes I'm trynna pay that light fee A lot of nikkas don't like me Blood stains on my white T They trynna capture my life fee Scoping out with that snipee sh** I don't know what my life mean But I just wanna live life free I don't know where I might be Yea I don't where I might be If it wasn't for the music If I wasn't such a student If I didn't show and prove it They said I would never do it [Hook] Money, whips and chains They say its part of this game If you ain't stunting you lame Can't even mention that fame Turnt nikkas into some dames They sell they souls for some change Just to hop on that train It seems like everybody trynna ride a wave Trynna ride a wave Everybody trynna ride it Yea Every body trynna ride it But they just standing right beside it [Verse 2] I was young and dumb Never realizing what I was enterprising Just searching for a better way I used to pray for better days Like pac would say the Sky was gray Every time the sun shined they threw me shade It's Safe to say I haven't found my way Through this crazy maze, ducking jakes Trynna play it safe You rather bring me pain What a shame The young poseidon Flows is stupid vibrant I rather knock over titanic Be plutonic, smoking chronic by the ounces Now It's astounding How they used to clown him Cause he was quietly waiting for a chance Dance with the devil in the belly of the beast With a shovel trynna burry heat Uhh I'm trynna find a way What's my escape Rapping, shooting basketball ? If that's the case I rather bag this raw Just speaking honestly they hate the honesty But I done been depriving me If I didn't speak my mind You see the evil eye behind the dollar sign Watches me commit atrocities Victims of poverty My chance was obsolete My ins depended on my sins Trynna repent with this pen You just pretend like you legit You fake as sh** Do anything to win I'll never quit Cause It don't make sense I know the devil got a grin I'm heaven sent f** what you think I'm celibate Man I don't wanna see the president Talk to the pres When there's ghetto broke kids at home Feeling depressed We living stressed Far from the blessed Yes I'm a pessimist give you the negative That's all I'm left here with I ain't impressed with this Straight from the ghetto no need for censorship We need some mentorship I got my people, one life to live never a sequel Don't let the social media feed you evil It'll poke you like a needle Infecting your cerebral Deeper than a jeep full of people They'll never be you [Hook] Money, whips and chains They say its part of this game If you ain't stunting you lame Can't even mention that fame Turnt nikkas into some dames They sell they souls for some change Just to hop on that train It seems like everybody trynna ride a wave Trynna ride a wave Everybody trynna ride it Yea Every body trynna ride it But they just standing right beside it !
