Holy Water

(album: Harbor City Season One - 2022)

I want to talk to you about something god put on my heart
The lord put this on my heart
Today I want to talk to you about moving past your past
My brothers and sisters at Harbor baptist
I'm here to tell you that you have permission to change your life
You have permission to become a better you
You have permission to travel down a higher road
Y'all don't hear me though

Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name
(On god)
My friend OD'd with a needle in his arm, I hope he didn't die in vein
(On god)
Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on heaven and earth the same
But I gotta hustle for my daily bread out here lord
And I don't wanna burn in flames

Holy water
Holy water
Holy water
Holy water

I told no lies on the Baby remix with Ashanti
Nigga I was strapped in the church
Death Row chain on my neck back then they would have shot me
If I ain't get to clap at them first
My past in reverse
I'm looking at the future and I don't wanna be a black man at his worst
But I had a nightmare
I was trapped in a hearse
I was rapping a verse about passing a curse to my family, it hurts
If my kids gotta pay for the sins of the father, you know
The bricks and the ganja, you know
The clips and the choppers and all the shit we did in the Harbor
To get to a dollar
Life is a movie feel like I'm living in a cinema
The city is full of shit like I'm living in an enema
Had a similar feeling while I was sitting with a minister
I'm really beginning to think sinning is the end of us
Sending us to a whole nother place
Whole nother space, somewhere I don't wanna be
If I catch a case
I'm looking in the mirror, my enemies in front of me
It's enough to drive your cuckoo
Now I meditate instead of watching Hulu
Travel through space like Doctor Who do
Align with the universe chakra zulu

Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name
(On god)
My friend OD'd with a needle in his arm, I hope he didn't die in vein
(On god)
Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on heaven and earth the same
But I gotta hustle for my daily bread out here lord
And I don't wanna burn in flames

Holy water
Holy water
Holy water
Holy water

Give me a bath in that
I was walking 'round my habitat like where my people with the habits at
Gotta hustle for my daily bread I'm serving people that are nearly dead
I held on to a lot of the stories over the years
But today I think I'll share instead like one time
A customer of mine said he need a dime
But he only got nine dollars to his name, I said that's fine
As we did the transaction he asked, yo you play video games?
I said no, he said never mind
On to the next person in line, that's Teresa
Boy did she use to be fine but that reefer
Turned to laced blunts with rocks
And no need for weed or anything else but rock so she's either
Hustling for chips sucking dick for another hit
Or in a supermarket sticky fingers aisle number six
Going down her leg with body wash and detergent
Ironic that she stank and all of her clothes dirty
Anyway I was out six in the morning, it's four thirty
Had a great day I'm taking off early
Swear to god think the law heard me
Dt's pull up hop out, one of them walk towards me
Pick up my pace he picks up his pace
I turn around and looked the pig in the face give, him that look like
I'm the wrong nigga to chase, he gave a look like
You better finish this race or I'ma whip your ass when I catch you
I'm running down Kingston ave then I slash through the community center
Come out the back to the back staircase of two eighty
Moving fast through the building don't know nobody but have to
Get in one of these apartments
I take the last few steps to the top floor
See the back of a woman walking in
Push her heard as hell then I lock the door
Turn around crack head Teresa on the floor
Oh shit then I hear a voice in the back spazzing, better find that shit
Walks out the back then sees me
My nine dollar customer from earlier asking, what the fuck happened?
I say shhh
Cops chased me off the block
I'ma give you a couple rocks for letting me lay low while they passing
Then a little boy walks out crying, It's not only 2K dad, I can't find Madden

Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name
(On god)
My friend OD'd with a needle in his arm, I hope he didn't die in vein
(On god)
Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on heaven and earth the same
But I gotta hustle for my daily bread out here lord
And I don't wanna burn in flames

Holy water
Holy water
Holy water
Holy water
Holy water
Holy water

You're dealing with a two-headed goat
It ain't a better crew let it go
It's cool let them know
The C-R the the two letter O's the K's and the blue leather coat
Giving you and
Who ever smoke then I zoom like a new telescope in a shoot out
A dude never choke
A rebel on track like the devil on crack
You can assume a dude hella dope
LA and New York are both on the water
Put them together and now you fucking with the Harbor
Negative reviews got me looking for the author
I never met a bulletproof blogger, nah
See you in front of the club chilling, you was hanging out
You was out of pocket like a bandanna
Shoot two off
The Glock gotta infrared nose like Rudolph
Slide down my enemies chimney like I'm bad Santa
I could've blew off your head but I didn't
Too many are dying
The city is crying
And niggas are buying the prettiest iron to kill us all
While we living inside an insidious hideous lion
Am I lying?
Hell no dog it's the belly of the beast
We switch roles I'm the Biggie of the West
Mr. Ortiz Makaveli of the East
