Stay the Course
[Intro]
Stay the course feel me, stand up
Y'all already know

[Verse 1]
They shooting cities, diners and colleges
It's a damn shame government don't acknowledge this
Mercenaries only do what sells
Trump is more concerned with the NFL
Fuck the white house, he called your mother a bitch
'Cause you chose to take a knee on some equality shit
Now you see, what you think don't mean shit
And there'll never ever be another Collin Kaepernick
Back to the yester, trapped in the slave ship
One take a knee then we all take a hit
Stay focused, no time for hocus pocus
Attack like Locus, weapons locked and loaded
We might need [?] of life's [?]
At the end of day, protect what's yours
Still in the black woods smoking them backwoods
Out in the black boots, supporting the black goods
I still hustle, that's how I was raised
When I started out, they said rap was a phase
Twenty years later, I still get paid
Watch some of y'all clowns still get played
Nuts!

What they're saying is that the OG is supposed to connect the now with the past and with the future. But they say, the youngins is hard-headed, so ain't no one really paying attention. But the thing is this song can end in a moments notice, so we're still gotta stay the course

[Verse 2]
Life is a paradise, we living a dream
Do what's necessary by any means
Social media, likes and memes
What the fuck does all these mean?
What it means
Someone behind the scenes is taking the green
Don't give a fuck about you and no one on your team
There's more to it than chains and whips
Or a top chick on her knees, blowing your dick
Or a bum chick at the bank spinning your chips
You stay heavy grinding while she sharing her lips
Cosmetic existence leads to your extinction
There's a master plan, what the fuck was you thinking?
I'm still in a box, living by the commercery
Hit it doggy style or you can leave missionary

[Chorus]
They say you'll live to be old
If you know which way to go
Pray on your knees at nine
Try [?] to do what's right
You know, you know
No one lasts forever
No one lasts forever, hey
People say they blessed, everyone says they blessed and a mother loses a child and they can't understand what's the blessings in that. Positive energy is out here, stay the course, try to make it right out here
Big Shug, Ehheh!
