Solitude of Enoch - Ka.mp3

[00:07.613] It's hard to say, every sentence is pain
[00:10.606] Brothers killing brothers, descendants of Cain
[00:13.425] Props if getting knocked, and no mentionin' names
[00:16.741] Had to steel, all that time I spent in the flame
[00:19.817] Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and slew him
[00:26.241] Got to be in grace first, to fall from it
[00:29.048] That money chase birthed the fall summit
[00:32.137] Was wasteful as big eyes and a small stomach
[00:35.036] Funny used to call my friends money, I lost hundreds
[00:38.029] From low lands, shook of no man, God fearin'
[00:40.989] Had death threats, not deaf yet, I'm hard hearin'
[00:44.181] Revenge is the engine, with my heart steerin'
[00:47.118] Enough disastrous crashes, had to start veerin'
[00:50.551] Had to use your fists to change your fiscal
[00:53.888] Figurin' how to get rich became the ritual
[00:56.912] As teens bought full magazines, if we had an issue
[01:00.345] We all had beef, but for dinner havin' gristle
[01:03.008] All hooded, even headed in doubt, I'm sure-footed
[01:06.758] Fear built relationships rapport couldn't
[01:09.368] Being angelic get you popped, saying somethin' that's off-putting
[01:12.273] Feeling weak for being in love, like amour shouldn't
[01:15.584] Was action packed, cut your cap just to hate hub
[01:18.833] For years spoke the code like every place bugged
[01:21.896] Since them dudes in school, move like I taste blood
[01:24.969] Fights bought forty nights, like the great flood
[01:28.176] Still a nexus to the treacherous gutter
[01:30.937] Kept two, never monochrome, my gift technicolor
[01:34.390] Like the coat of Joseph, hope it don't affect my brother
[01:37.524] Became man of the house quick, had to protect my mother
[01:40.820] One of my cousins said he was gon' beat me like my pops
[01:44.069] I blacked out, was ready to leave him in a box
[01:47.253] My sister calmed me down, saw me reachin' for the shots
[01:50.261] That's my linchpin, since then, we been on the rocks
[01:53.756] It's hard to say, every sentence is pain
[01:57.044] Brothers killing brothers, descendants of Cain
[01:59.542] Props if getting knocked, and no mentionin' names
[02:02.717] I had to steel, all that time I spent in the flame
[02:06.961] Every sentence is pain
[02:10.129] Descendants of Cain
[02:11.901] Let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone
[02:17.720] May your life be fruitful if I appeal to you
[02:20.616] I'm defense against ten trying to conceal the truth
[02:23.369] Breaded when I medicine, that's what a healer do
[02:25.985] Out here was too rough to bluff, every dealer knew
[02:28.600] Don't mind if it was gross, this hope's genetic
[02:31.352] Did the most to cope when the coast wasn't copacetic
[02:34.686] When I rapped to you it's natural, no synthetic
[02:37.140] Survivors of my father, it's my old genetic
[02:40.728] I rhyme like divinity
[02:42.489] Times the inner me cry from the imagery
[02:45.320] Where we stood, no neighborhood sinner-free
[02:47.960] From the curb, if any deserve to win it's me
[02:50.568] To quiet the stomach, we had to rummage
[02:52.776] Father gave it all denominations, but wanted hundreds
[02:57.449] I wanted hundreds
[03:00.052] I wanted hundreds
[03:01.540] You got it poppin' at the top of the mornin'
[03:03.550] Couldn't imagine what mothers on gutter blocks was endurin'
[03:07.166] We took the hits, 'cause the knot was allurin'
[03:09.523] My boy back up top, got popped for his urine
[03:12.712] If a man slips, bent grip on his vice
[03:15.255] We try our best to get it, could triple the price
[03:17.520] Though crew did it for food, not to be drippin' in ice
[03:20.232] Pray the stocks stack on my blocks, but liquid is nice
[03:22.824] Known to throw trips, show fifths, dip with the dice
[03:25.632] Dusk to dawn, much go on, no ubiquitous nights
[03:28.448] To get paid out trade route like you shippin' a spice
[03:31.024] The meek heard "Turn the other cheek", I got different advice
[03:35.280] I got different advice
