Doc Illa - Repent

Chorus:
I'm chillin with adam- yeah we back from the dead
World in a spin, from the crack and the dread
Better off sleepin with a bag on your head, than to be a free man for the sack and the bread
I was with eve, but she nagged me to death
She was takin pole behind my back from the back- and i thought that i was dead
But it turns out that i had to repent, repent means that we try it again

With the band, i got bands, but i never made music, kinda focused on making money just to lose it
Kinda jumped off with a noose but the loop didn't grip- no that wasn't my shit if the shoе doesn't fit
I see law and i had enough of it, lawless if you ask mе again-
Yeah the checks coming in- and the feds get the max for their friends- but they chargin you tax- then they tax it again
I don't know if you have seen this
The world is in a spiral- i can feel it
And i don't know when anybody means it-
Truths dead- and i don't know how to heal it
I can tell that we are nearing
An outcome that isn't so appealing
People having a dream but its seeming that we
Tried to fly and went straight into the ceiling...

I keep it spinnin- yeah im reeling
I really know when its the real thing
I can test it- put it under inspection and put a value on whatever the fuck you think you are dealing
Im talkin words and a feeling, hangin on your ear like a earring-
Beer drink, liquor shot, did a lot- clearly no fear its appearing-
My dear- and i really like when you let me do the steering
Chorus

Yeah i'm acting like a piston- while you tellin him that you missed him, but you tellin him i'm at a distance
Take a little bit of my energy while you givin me a little bit of spirit like a gift then-
Might just give you that back cause i'm seeing weights, so i lift them
Innovate cause i fucken listen, when i fight im like sonny liston- give no resistance
Don't start fights if you wanna win them
I see the circles and get in them, social- emotional- and slide thru the wet like a boat go-
Really have hope and a dope flow, not afraid to think about the shit that i don't know
And i hate to tell my momma but since i was a kid i knew where dope go
Where to get it from- then i got a whole load-
Mostly for myself and my old bros
And my day ones, and my plan b's and my family, and my hoblows
My oh nos and my woah woahs and all sorts of people you don't know- really gotta tell em that i owe those
I got some brothers that you cannot meet
I work for mafia you cannot see
Listeners wanna find out what i mean
Explanation complete

I turned 18, saved 15... then i spent it on me
I grew from flowers but i couldn't see
Remember the shit and the dirt never far from the tree
The shit n the dirt never far from the tree...
I live in the grotto and i noticed that its been gettin dirty
Some wanna flee, others are standing their ground in the smoke just like me
Just stick around and you'll see, the grip and this pound and the sack and the bag are the commodities
But it is the streets.... these people been quittin their jobs just to breathe
I got a brother that you cannot meet
I found a god who been raising the meek
Million different ways we can fuck it up
But never quit until the mission complete
Been in the pit in the grips of defeat
I been in the debt and even poverty
I made a rack and then i made 60
I lost it all back from the sins and the greed
And would you believe, AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE
I been in depression and i been in need
I been in addiction i've been in affliction
I had enemies- BUT ALL OF THEM BLEED
I learned that the source of all life is the seed
I learned that the source of the fight is the beef
I learned that the reason for karma is all of these people who work to create dirty deeds

Yeah the checks coming in and the feds get the max for they friends
But they chargin you tax and then they tax it again... damn
