Bodies!

(album: The Mind Of A Saint - 2023)

Manboy deserved it, Khadijah deserved it
Tyana shouldn't have been in that car, that wasn't worth it, Andre deserved it
I mean in the beginning he didn't but then he went and got all this pretend purpose
Rob didn't deserve it, but that was just protection
I couldn't take the chance with him speaking on my connections
I been stressing since the moment the barrel blew
When listing them all who would've thought I would've added you
Jerome said the shit that come along with this never be worth the payment
I said until a Saint get involved and rewrite the Amens
Ready, set, say when, our fathers for the lost fathers on the pavement
And the rest of the wait list
Strays at an overpass, practice make it sacred
Karvel was my rough draft, my first painting
Lenny was a stepping stone but I couldn't step alone
Shoes got bigger when Louie told me that Kevin's gone

And then death seems to follow suit
The weight to it will follow through
It make you breathe different don't it
I swear it make you breathe different don't it
And now you praying that death don't get the drop on you
But shit he just doing what he gotta do
It make you breathe different don't it
I swear it make you breathe different don't it

Put me in the game without knowing he ever did
Town business became beautifully heaven sent
Hell on earth but how this money works, I'll let it spend
And ask God how much to look at Kev and let him in
For the record, the shot wasn't planned to ever go to you
But you was switching up how you stand and what we know of you
Blood thicker than water 'til the money dripping over you
And then swimming in it takes control of you
Business is business, right or wrong, and then rightfully so
The wrong code took the life of your folks
And now you wanna ride, looking at me to follow you and your pride
I'm looking back like "when did you become blind, where your vision at?"
Tried to lead you outta that storm, you couldn't picture that
Wound up losing my arm despite the grip on that
Passing the blame is like musical chairs
Saran wrapping a brick and seeing you in the glare

And then death seems to follow suit
The weight to it will follow through
It make you breathe different don't it
I swear it make you breathe different don't it
And now you praying that death don't get the drop on you
But shit he just doing what he gotta do
It make you breathe different don't it
I swear it make you breathe different don't it

Greatest trick you never seen
Catch a body without a shotty found on me
Wide eyed kid with pockets looking for company
And now I can payroll shooters to stand in front of me
But still keep the tuck on me
Judging the cover of this novel is gonna bookmark you under me
But this right here? Fresh from off the back of a boat
Six shots but it's fully automatically woke
Same boat like the one with all the barrels of coke
Same boat like the one from when they had us in ropes
And my approach, is knowing that hope floated away from us
The dreams they was selling don't pay as much
But this right here? My career day started on dark benches
And turned into Skully stretching bodies on park fences
Residue on my hands praying at God speed
And tryna reason all the bodies laying behind me

And then death seems to follow suit
The weight to it will follow through
It make you breathe different don't it
I swear it make you breathe different don't it
And now you praying that death don't get the drop on you
But shit he just doing what he gotta do
It make you breathe different don't it
I swear it make you breathe different don't it
