Down One | mother is the name of God

View! Down one I think see the phoenix of a rising sun Haters say that she's gone hang it up That she's gone phone it in That she's gone called it done But I, I saw her shooting in the gym Saw her audacity to win And I can tell the hope she's manifest is Strapped to her back It went above the rim That girl got drive That girl can push Down the middle Focus locked Release from 10 Swish! I got 99 problems, your opinion ain't 1 Everybody wanna go, but everybody can't come Lotta nights sacrificed, records got expunged Shit I was up too (two), cause I was down one Eden square I was ducked off Young fly nigga with the duck sauce Judge put me on a band list used to Jump the fence and then dust off One night the sheriff ambushed When I called bluff he took cuffs off I chunk the deuce slipped out the noose crunk up the bass then drove off Like Bitch ain't no looking back (yeah) I gave you niggas nostalgia then took it back Fuck around and devour your little raps Hypnotized as I ride through the city strapped On the count of 3 bitch I might really snap You can count on me why cause im really that Got the crown on me just like a fitted cap Talking down to me mouth just be running laps But I do not pay it no mind That shit don't pay me a dime Who turned the grapes into wine Fruits of my labor divine Food at my table sublime Roots from the grave that I climb Grew from what labels assigned Into what they couldn't define Beats with the cadence and rhyme Don't compare me to no conscious rapper I'm just an honest rapper Ten years never fronted bout no money Not the type of pussy niggas running after But you still a puss wait I know you rappers gon feel a way Doing 80 on the interstate Hit yo baby momma for a dinner plate Like I need that vegan with the lemonade Innovative all my niggas paid By the hour not a minute late All my queens really running things tryna live a dream but she been awake Buy the place and then we rent the place Generate the money circulate Everything is us nothing safe Surron Peace, peace Peace be still Two hundred and seventy-three moons Eternal sunshine reflection of brown hues Exiting the earth's womb Mother is the name of God A love supreme The devils work facade Seeds planted in the sweetest of wet fertile soil to birth a king Rejoice and sing The gift is the person who births us A mother's love rooted in the existence of her purpose Rise up to the fundamental story of Black faith That sows deep within the sun A reflection A mirror Her face A mirror A reflection of him He sees the reflection of God in her Raising a wildflower in the cratered concrete surface of poverty With a history of violent collisions Involuntarily beautiful visions Perhaps ever-present deep-seated color of love Dreams Fantasies Ideas with aspirations Over forty-three hundred alternate religions in search of prosperity She We are within her Our mother Our wonderwall Frail bodies and images of broken women crying over their slain sons Slain bodies The healing is the necessity of it all Brown skin Confront critical conversations to love within Our mother Our earth Our God Where the color of love begins
