Stranded
[Intro: Foggieraw]
Ladies and gentlemen
You are now rocking with
Foggieraw bae, Ruslan
What it is

[Verse 1: Foggieraw]
Less of a gunner
More of an archer with a bow and arrow
Live from the path that is narrow
I read in Exodus, you never flip on your n***as
And join your nemesis
It doesn't always pay to be the Pharoah
I was born thorough
Taught to eat the beef, to the bone marrow
If it was Power Rangers, I'd be red
You'd be yellow
Did you not get the memo
Well boy, here's the memo
Presto, I know my God came from the heaven to the ghetto

[Verse 2: Ruslan]
Ah, then they renamed it to a project
The riders up are climbing up and looking at my options
Anonymous, the common denominator's a profit
I am not an accommodator for any nonsense
Man can not live off of bread alone
But yet we've gotta eat
Even though our desires
Aren't always what they oughtta be
Still a part of me, the need to provide and survive
My family and tribe is the priority to thrive
As long as I'm alive, so I ain't got no time to be emo
Cause I know the messenger, I know the verses jalapeno
[Verse 3: Foggieraw]
Exquisiteo, a black negro in his black tuxedo
I'm tryna free my, aye
The more the beast knocker, the more I squander
These vowels on your head, like a lyrical barber
Cause it's my parlour, we're doing spiritual cuts
Cutting all the way down, making biblical monks
And, still with my day ones in my mother car
Still whippin' around, I don't be dippin' around
With these Frito-lay rappers, y'all be chippin' around
'03 Kobe, you Jason kidding me now
And I am very tired of babysitting around
But the Lamb is without blemish
And God is what I cherish
Degrees of the line been decreed hellish
Flow mean as Brad Bellick
I do not embellish
We bus like Rome Bettis
Ya bust like millicic
Bust like...
Y'all boys, I don't get it

[Verse 4: Ruslan]
Look, Look, Look, Look, I start to focus
But blurry is peripheral
Wipe the crust off, the feeling is so habitual
Meaning it doesn't require thought to see a visual
Simply react, I tend to think it's more instinctual
See, I can walk and chew gum at the same time too
And you can vote your conscience
Hit you with the Ted Cruz
Pleasedon't put any of your restrictions on what I do
Cause I am not who I was
And every day that holds true
That's the judgement on you
I'm honestly done caring
Best way's to lead by example and start sharing
Results that are apparent
Maybe I fell in error
When did we start judging art based on comparisons huh?
Never the mind, I digress
Sometimes I use this as a way to get things off my chest
Hopefully, you don't mind, cause I don't like surprises
At the same time, I ain't tryna come off pious
I'm a man with a perspective that just wants to be heard
And I tend to get busy with these nouns and these verbs
And I tend to take serious how I'm using these words
So I'm searching my own heart
So I can know what to purge
Look
[Verse 5: Foggieraw]
Need you to know that my God is still wit' it n***a
Need you to know that the spirit is still willing n***a
Nas said it, my God has still writ it n***a
Or wrote it, however you wanna quote it
Wrecked the whole league, nobody could even handle it
My crew pay homages, y'all cover the damages
Sharp is Dwayne Wayne hairline live 06'
We cover main dish

[Verse 6: Ruslan]
Y'all catching the flashback
I'm doing the math that, to show you real quick
I know exactly what to pack in my knapsack
Fits a little extra than what I probably needed
Believe it, immediately I advise that you don't act defeated
You see it, I sowed it, that means I probably reaped it
But God's the one that made it grow
Even if I can't see it
You see it, I saw it, and then I spent the weekend
Tryna figure out how it all works
But I'm still believing
You see it, doesn't matter if I overstand it
In order for it to still be true, so, therefore, I don't panic
My God knows that I am damaged
But the decree has been handed for me to stand were
I'm planted, maybe it's the way he planned it
You see it, I saw it, excuse me for being candid
But there is so much at stake
That I can not just leave you stranded
