Transparency II Lyrics

Check

Straight through this bitch

One take

1, 2, 1, 2

Look

What I'm sposed to do when I'm feeling I'm down and out

With people counting down on me being down for the count

When people hangin round with you never round when it counts

When people thats surrounding you suffocating and drown

Is that what they really mean when they say they gone hold you down

I got alot of shit that I juggle around in circuit

Lately I just give it to God and look how its working

You got too many clowns in yo circle its like a circus

Gotta watch out for serpents, they lurking under the surface

See, I gotta watch cause I never like cuttin grass

Honor roll nigga, was never caught cuttin class

Really I was scared of my momma gettin that call

Shit, really I was scared of my daddy whoopin my ass

Momma started watching my story she gettin worried

Say she never raised me to be like that and its scary

Momma gotta know she was never the only one

I would grow up wit niggas that rode around wit a gun

See their good days was never having to use it

My good days was fuckin around wit cupid

Their bad days was seeing mom on the block

My bad days was daddy punchin the clock

Barely coming to games, that nigga was rarely off

Now that I'm getting older I'm understanding the cost

See, way back then I only knew what I thought

I could never forget that feeling after a loss

I guess that's where perfectionism would start

I would take every loss as a dagger right to the heart

The obsession wit never losing was way bigger than winning

And never lookin stupid was way bigger than sinning

That and a mix of pride is why niggas be spending

All the rest of they blinks in clinks steady repenting

Ion got all the answers but got a bunch of the questions

Growin up I would have interrogations with reverends

Asking em whats the meaning of this and that in this section

I'm asking "why would God just take a rest on the 7th?"

"All of this yo creation, then how would you never check it?"

She was prolly elated and never thought we would wreck it

Made Adam and Eve and left em alone a second

They ate from the tree and she made em regret it

Kicked em right outta eden for eating and disrespecting

It got so bad you sent us your only son

Hell of a sacrifice man that was ya only one

Hanging there on the cross he asked

"What have you done? God why thou forsaken me?" looking into the sun

Even the son of God would question God on occasion

See I always wondered why God would let us choose

Believing in you is winning, then why would you let us lose

If God made the earth, why man make all the rules

Drownin all of our sins in gin, xans and juice

If we was made yo image then why all of these flaws

It only make sense that we serve an imperfect G-
