elohim - six the don lyrics
[intro: kanye west]
when someone comes up and says
something like, i am a god
everybody says
“who does he think he is?”
i just told you who i thought i was
a god
i just told you
[verse: six the don]
hustling was my crutch
had me disabled
future was unstable
powder on the table
we used to steal cable
my family enabled
we took the unpaved route
i’m wondering if they knew…
doing the same thing expecting change
thats insane
(uh)
to drive the range, i was deranged
out of my brain
(uh)
i poisoned vеins to sustain
had to be vain
(uof)
i refused to bе broke
i need a break through
memories vivid
as some n*ggas held triggers
point blank to my face
asking, “wheres the safe?”
as biggie smalls played
for my downfall, they prayed
i swear that was the fall from grace
and that day…
i didn’t fold, didn’t shake
didn’t bend, didn’t break
most would defecate
i stared death in the face
on the floor as we laid
zip tied and taped
who sent these jack boys to our place?
to think
n*ggas will k!ll their own cousins
for the purses
these urges
i never read the bible or been to churches
no service
im surfing these crime waves in surges
submerged
and yet i surfaced
knowing i got a purpose
(uh)
but when your circumstance a circus
my best friend murdered
someone at seventeen
that changed his trajectory
sent to prison as a teen
how’s he supposed to be
a man
but that’s not what he sees
it took seeds
to really make him plant his feet
tears roll when we speak
simply, for the fact he’s free
and at peace
he choose to leave up out the ghetto
to me that’s most thorough
n*ggas dying under street signs
but ain’t never leave they borough
i purify the air though
i’m moving like i’m eros
the villains were our hero’s
and that’ll get us zero
we should idealize our heroines
they named a drug heroin
you think that’s a coincidence n*gga?
zero in
it’s in your roots for you to lose
thats the type of sh*t they stew
see to them it’s never old but
to us we never knew
take an inner city school
remove a parent from the roof
starve a childhood of his time
then feed him lies just like it’s food
import a gun, give him a nine
give him time, make it cool
let him shoot, send him to jail and
that’s how they recruit
you!
black and brown youth
slave labor in a prison
that’s a business that booms
to understand that
that’s to understand truth
they’ll give you awards to go to war
and k!ll some dudes you ain’t knew
they drop bombs and then food
they probably poisoned that too
learn to channel your aggression
as you step out your shoes
just know that some would accept oppression
even if their ass knew
in plain view it’s hard to hide
sh*ts like the dark side of the moon
think a river, make it a mirror
then reflect on your moves
the elohim, the living god, is you
it’s true
one time for all my roses out the concrete
that grew
i rather fish for information
then put hooks in my tunes
essentially when you’re essential
you could do what you do
independence, that’s a blessing
i ain’t confined by no rules
we need the contracts new
the sh*t that kanye spewed
you call me crazy but you paying me
i ain’t shining no shoes
check out my timing with tunes
i hope you’re mining these jewels
the elohim, the living god, is you
it’s true
(uh)
