Pilgrim - Lessons lyrics

[Intro] [Hook: Pilgrim & (Versatyl)] Doing things not right for the light out of spite (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like murder, pride, lies, strife (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Drug dealers, k**ers, corrupt politicians (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like hate, greed, racism, terrorism (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) [Verse 1: Pilgrim] Relate the tale and gave chase, the agent codenamed Jake Steady hitting all the mittens, driving dames insane He had fame and acclaim, bagged the honeys all the same Skinny, light, dark, short, yo my homie had the game I told him zip it if you hit it, but no, dummy wouldn't listen Now he's stuck, major bucks and she never says enough You ran amok with wild ducks, shush you had to test your luck You knew the words and sang the songs, but bruv' for thongs you went wrong In the battle of the strong, Nia Longs and Viet Congs The code of the streets and unwritten techniques You feel the heat from headspins till the mission is complete Saw the enemy retreat, too sweet to compete Down the street and up the creek, in the tweets we saw you trying to cheat Committing evil deeds that the preacher wouldn't heed Now your heart gently weeps while the drums steady beats You should have listened to the Verse and the Pill that was grim [Hook: Pilgrim & (Versatyl)] Doing things not right for the light out of spite (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like murder, pride, lies, strife (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Polluters, shooters, muggers, looters (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like lust, wrath, ageism, s**ism (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) [Verse 2: Versatyl] Aiyyo I knew this guy, used to ride with a set, do or die demeanour If crews collide, shoot on sight, foolish pride: who's realer? Steady mobbin', finds a mark and then he robs ‘em And if they try put up resistance that's a deadly option See, some play the villain just to make a living He played the villain cause he made a k**ing I asked him why this life was so appealing He cracked a smile and told me, "homie listen! You play the villain or you play the victim" And he followed this philosophy with great conviction And he followed his philosophy till his conviction Yeah he followed this philosophy straight into prison I ask him now, he says his thinking's different I ask him how, he says back then he held a scary view Of the world, and never knew how much the guilt could bury you Said I've got to share this to the world, so they can learn it too That's why I'm telling you [Hook: Pilgrim & (Versatyl)] Doing things not right for the light out of spite (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like murder, pride, lies, strife (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Villains stealing, people better listen (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like sloth, envy, gluttony, robbery (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) [Bridge: Pilgrim] Silence the Kingdom suffers violence, the Baptist was beheaded For wisdom and for truth so the sword is embedded Your blade you should sharpen, the skies we will darken With gore so red, you should harken to Spartans 'Cause first comes the master with shouts of the Rapture A brand new chapter, written for the pasture Burning leaving ashes, sour like mola**es Vinegar and ga**es, too thick for your gla**es [Hook: Pilgrim & (Versatyl)] Doing things not right for the light out of spite (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Like murder, pride, lies, strife (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Beating up the little kids in the park after dark (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) Not listening to the Verse and the Pill on the radio (For those who walk that path there's a lesson to learn) [Outro]
