Mordred


Shut
Pause 
My man Holo told me the devil would control me 
If I didn't have a hold of my soul and mind 
'Cause now I think back on when I used ta sell crack 
To all the twigged-out bags makin a grip in '89 

It's a .... she made Philmo' clique 
Eight years old niggers on the corner running bags 
While I'm in the park smokin weed & drinkin port 
It was the boys in the hood taggin fucking ...... 

But-a, that was the past, all that 
I'm thinking of other ways of making my pockets fat 
And mixing those beats on plastic 
They like tricks, fool 
You can't have it silly rabbit 

Kimball 
Got the past in the past and we're in the present tense 
Looking out from where we are, it's amazing that we got this far 
Like a ... it hits, gonna follow you .... 
Like a son in your gun, turn the corner and the door is shut 

Pause 
Back when I was young in the hood carryin a gun 
It was an everyday thing 'cause you had to watch your back 
Running from the 5-0, jumping fences high and low 
For no fucking reason, just because my skin is black 

Ain't a damn thing funny in the land of milk and honey 
When ..... mess with me for their change 
'Cause eight years later now my soul is feeling greater 
But my mind is not at ease, 'cause the system's still the same 

The best that I can do is go on 
Exactly what my mom and pop told me, stay strong 
I know I might seem like I'm a stranger from the moon 
And now I got the key so I can step into the next room 

Kimball 
Our plan it happened there and then, no repent or second dance 
Makes one thing ..... 
That's the rub, ah that's the rub 
Won't you turn the corner to the next room and the door is shut 
That's the rub, a, that's the rub 
Won't you turn the corner to the next room and the door's 
Shut 

Pause 
Fools still steppin with the same old shit 
Asking how I make the rock and the hip-hop mix 
It don't fit is what they're telling me but I keep denying it 
Fuck it, put on Vision track 5 and rewind it 

God's great destiny, you shouldn't ever test me 
You'd best not flex 'cause you might get fucked 
You're trying to escape yeah with everything but rape 
You turn the corner to the next room and the door slams shut
