A Good Remedy Lyrics

[Intro: Sonny Shotz]
One, two...
That's a good remedy

[Verse 1: Sonny Shotz]
Make a call, you only have a fucking dollar left
It's been a long night, you had a bad day
Take the ball and make a shot with only seconds left
It's been a long game, they wanted MJ
Showed up, hold up a little Henney for the road
Something for the pain, a little remedy for your soul
Bro, what up? I know you see it coming closer
Speculation, meditation, I don't fucking know you, so
Shut up, I'm everything I said I'd ever be
Shout out, to all the people that we'll never see
A glimpse of me inside of you, I know where heaven is
In my rearview, turn around and reminisce
Another rap guy, bet he's such a black guy
Bet he works at Best Buy, barely gets a check by
Can I live? Let him feel the real
And if the real is getting old, then I guess I'm not ready

[Hook x2: Jordan Brown]
I got rid of my highs, and my lows, and my do's and my dont's
And I choose to be free, to be young, to be me
To be a king in America, be a king in America
[Verse 2: Sonny Shotz]
Teachers always said a good grade will buy a nice car
Would buy a nice house, would take me pretty far
Barely passed math, can you see these numbers add up?
Always skipped class, now these bitches want to grab us

I guess it's funny when your money come
And pretty sad to see your money go
I guess it's better said than done
And I bet a preacher fantasized about his favorite nun
I bet the teacher had a situation with you son
Cause she married to a nigga that'll never give her some
Cause he's married to his youth, trying to fuck with twenty-one
And his mistress in the bed is just looking for some fun
Whole world fucked up, whole world fucked up
It's just me and Alexander, it's just us and all these good vibes
You and all these critics, man you're lucky this my good side
Cause every black boy, has a hood side

[Hook x2]
