The Prelude Lyrics

I know it's been a long time
Uh
Black Cobain
Yeah
Uh
Too much passion, too much pride
Uh
Too much hate to let too much slide
Look into the eyes of a man who ain't seen much
I seen it all and that alone will get you cleaned up
Business swept under a rug I'm hanging onto a thrill
Let going of the drugs
Every girl that I meet
Feel like I'm looking for love, need a reality show
Hit Jocelyn Up
Let's get this change
First by your homes
Then buy your chains
Then let the whole fucking world know you changed
I be confused
You niggas want real or real life
Cause these rappers ain't real in real life
This is my life
I rather lie under oath than in these bars
And in these Fords you will see stars nigga
This is no mirage
You can see it clear
Just use your mind
Imma loosen up your brassiere
Let it all show
Let me show you how to get it
This is so perfect
Its the perfect contradiction
Only time I speak is if I'm speaking with conviction
Uh
This is the present, get it before Christmas
We don't follow trends my nigga we just set em
We don't love them hoes my nigga we just forget em
Convenient amnesia getting head in my leisure
Realest nigga here and I'm coming out your speakers

And I'm Young Gifted and Black Too
While you was waiting for that
I had to adapt
I had to relapse
If you ever heard Now I had to take it to that
Take it back to the rap
You listened and couldn't keep up
Heard them niggas talking tough until they seen us
What we call a mannequin
When they freeze up
They belong in museums until they speak up
Time to roll the leaf up Yeah
In 4AM I had virgin lungs
Do you remember that
Now I'm smoking like a nigga got cataracts
And I got the perfect song for your Cadillacs
You gotta learn to live with regrets
If that's the price that you pay
Couple catch 22's
Never catch the bouquet
You was bout to fix yo lips like you had something to say
Impossible takes a week, difficult takes a day Uh

Steph Floss What Up

Hey
Let me talk to em
Let's get it
I used to say I didn't smoke
Now I do
That's a contradiction
Intervene, intervene show me my admittance
And Yeah and I'mma see a M before I see a limit
Straight Grand Marnier and a squeeze of lemon
