Scenic Route

Look... Right! You can't cut my soul, you can't cut my fire You can't cut my wings, you can't cut my high You can't cut my pain but I soul survive Do this everyday, I'm a ride or die Fiending off the clout will increase your doubt I'm a water well in a water drought In escape room think I need an out Take you on a trip through the scenic route If my life was prefect it wouldn't be worth it If it wasn't worth it, it wouldn't be certain 1997 I came with a purpose Hands on my Bible, was raised in the churches Was taught about the Devil and how He was working Teach you about the snakes and how they be lurking Look you in the face while shoveling dirt in Pray five times a day with some daily worship This feel like beginning, this feel like the crown This feel like the city, this feel like the town This feel like your shawty's new favorite sound Let this pick you up when you're feeling down This for all my brothers in the state yard This for all my brothers in the graveyard I'm gon' hold it down till' they see the truth I'm gon' find my way to the scenic route You can't cut my soul, you can't cut my fire You can't cut my wings, you can't cut my high You can't cut my pain but I soul survive Do this everyday, I'm a ride or die Fiending off the clout will increase your doubt I'm a water well in a water drought In escape room think I need an out Take you on a trip through the scenic route You can't cramp my style please don't cramp my vision I can put you on if you're in position Got to earn your stripes, got to wash the dishes Got to go through war; The Detroit Pistons Got to fix your chi, got to fix your soul Got to write the plans, got to see the goals Better watch your step, better watch your toes Better know your friends, better know your foes I'm not from the streets but I live by code I'm not from the town where we found a home I'm looking for my roots I'm looking for my growth Late nights cracking packets of these maple oats I've been using failure as a stepping stone I've been using truth as a microphone When it's time to get it then it's time to go When it's time to get it then I hope you know You can't cut my soul, you can't cut my fire You can't cut my wings, you can't cut my high You can't cut my pain but I soul survive Do this everyday, I'm a ride or die Fiending off the clout will increase your doubt I'm a water well in a water drought In escape room think I need an out Take you on a trip through the scenic route
