Songtext Redemption Ransom.

Redemption

Top of the morning to ya (Morning)
I pray you niggas realize what's been afforded to ya (Yeah)
You need light in that dark alley? I brought it to ya
Free of charge (Free)
I gave you game when you gambled and you beat the odds
I gave you pain, they in shambles when they see a scar (Facts)
Now say my name, when you say it, say that he's a god (I'm a god)
How you gon' tell me what I shouldn't do
When I did exactly what you told me that I couldn't do?
Niggas ain't good if they ain't as good as you
Wish a nigga would is what you wouldn't do
Your mans got some pull but he ain't pullin' through (Woo)
Pain is good when it's put to use (Yeah)
I'm on the eve of goin' at 'em like I took the fruits
Huh, yeah, I'm still fresh in my prime (Yes)
A diamond in th? rough that was so destined to shine (Shin?)
I gotta think twice when I pull this weapon of mine
'Cause no amount of money ever bought a second in time (That's true)
Yeah, that's how I question your mind (Mind)
You only see my moves, I talk less than a mime
If that's the line to cross, I'll calmly step to the line
And blow it right in your ear like Lance next to LeBron
But let me digress (Yes) I ain't sleep, I'm just tryna let my eyes rest
Now what I'm gon' scribe next?
Y'all niggas softer than a bride's dress
Thinkin' that you suited for these streets with no ties left
My guess? (Guess) You was probably stuck on the porch (Uh-huh)
Your moms called you in when it's time to fuck with the chores
But, me, I kept a big-ass gun stuffed in my drawers
Them bullets left no trace, so it was nothin' to draw (Yes, sir)
I always thought if you had to suffer you poor (Why?)
Until I seen a rich man put one under his jaw
I studied the human mind and it's never fun to explore
But it's funny what you will find when the cup has nothing to pour (Damn)
Yeah, I don't think they want me to score (Nah)
They tried to lock me out, but my foot was stuck in the door, or (Yeah)
Success'll just never come
So to get what you never had, gotta do what you've never done (Yeah)
I took some time off then I went on a clever run (Uh-huh)
Classic after classic, the best to be yet to come (It is)
Yeah, now my heart is forever numb
Now tell me who's the emcee that'll cause the reverend to run? (Who?)
Shit, I'm just tryna measure the sum
And add it to the total of every pleasure to come
I came from a mindset where you had to treasure the slums
So you joke on my dark nights, and I Heath Ledger your son (Ha-ha)
I just had to smirk, these last couple years I done added worth
Survived like magic, jerk
Came from a place where the addicts lurk
Now I'm on a flight out to Paris first, before I hit Carrick church
Church
