The Valley of the Shadow of Death

[Verse 1]

Uh

Give a **** if yo' pockets low, we been living lowkey

Wonder how we was popping bottles, this far below deep

Poverty line wasn’t no avocados but toast was on me

Early, would break fast was hopping gates [?] pearly

Mistakes add up, some niggas could name the police

Some niggas always need somebody else name on the lease

Some of us struggling to find inner peace, I'm still fighting a beast

I show love I definitely [?]

Against shorty and despite that she preach

While I'm smoking my roach

Nigga, been treehugging

Tryna widen my reach

Morе vitamin E

Really tryna [?] my skull

They tryna tell mе

My freedom abides on a [?]

Son of every water I choke

Most times I get tried for [?]

I spoke I cry

But never ask why ’cause I know

They give a **** if you fly, we supposed to fly to sell dope

We supposed to to give them the keys so they can get the door

Still had to kick in the door just to get in the door

When we was five and we gon' call the boy a thug for the rest of his life

[Chorus]

[?] I walk through

Everything the taught me

Still feeling groggy

Heavy on the caffeine in my coffee

No Geoffrey

I ain't tiptoeing, that's too [costly?]

I ain't tiptoeing, that's too [costly?]

[?] too often

Only look at mirrors through the smoke

Everything go rogue

Everything's glossy

[Verse 2]

I feel no evil at all

I pray my closest don't fall, I know somebody gon’ fall

**** saving face I can’t keep changing pace to stay up with y'all

[?] niggas running in place to chase waterfalls

I can relate, I can’t erase the time

Was tryna handle it all

I'm no Kyrie in the least

I had to learn it the harder way, niggas pennies decrease

A couple niggas deceased

I watched some niggas retreat

You ever had a peace treaty but niggas [?]

I started turning my cheek

I had to turn a new leaf on niggas [?]

Was on them backwoods for some weeks

Then I got straight to the paper, my paper straight as it crease

Got paperweights for receipts

Got labelmates we been scammed by the same man we don't speak

The neighbors hate, we don't speak

Don’t come to preaching just practice whatever you was gon' preach

Scratch my back if you reach

Gotta match my joy if you smoking

These niggas will do you like leaches

I'm seeing ghosts like it's Bleach

I brought my sand to a fire [hydric?] created a beach

I put my soul in these beats

[Chorus]

[?] I walk through

Everything the taught me

Still feeling groggy

Heavy on the caffeine in my coffee

No Geoffrey

I ain't tiptoeing, that's too [costly?]

I ain't tiptoeing, that's too [costly?]

[Outro]
