Ashes (Intro)

While bitches busy Flaunting and flaunting bodies Looking for reassurance from the media Making sure they are somebody Papa was working Bringing home the cash for everybody While niggas broke, smoke coke, slang dope, stroke they rope Provoke and promote false hope Murking niggas with scopes Papa showed me how to take note of the words he spoke Without fear that I would ever lose hope Snakes ask a nigga for a licking I tell them motherfuckers no With these words papa spoke I could fix my own will to live Whenever I couldn't cope So take these words I pass on to you And never revoke Taught me lessons with a theme I would never lose sight of Through a perspective of more than just a nigga writing I gained wisdom in this field Therefore It's the shit I choose to write of A nigga speaks for peace and positivity A nigga never tried to be violent Playing softly Like I'm J. Cole when his mama made him play the violin This is the murky water that niggas always said they could try and swim You falling down Dad showed me how to get my ass up again Don't use the excuse that daddy wasn't there So you got scared To never try again Cause life's a game Therefore I fairly learned how to play fair Snakes feel for a nigga When in reality These reptiles do not care The thought provoking moments Remind me of when you was joking in certain moments Of possibly dying then Snakes are consistent in trying men Completely off my rocker Daddy you only fifty No no Get up Get up You ain't dying man You ain't dying man
