Joey BADA$$ - Righteous Minds Lyrics
[Intro:]YeahMake sure my shit sound tight[Verse 1:Joey BADA$$]I never knew the world could be this madOnly vision I had of sex was Color Me BaddI never knew the world could be this coldOnly time a nigga died he was playing a roleBut now the niggas get their souls stole so oftenThey only did is offer gimits is awake in their coffinFrom NY to Compton down the holeShe said that office offers abortionsWithout precautionPower to the peopleThere’s too many who wanna be JordanToo many forces thinking they could make a fortune scorin'Too many wanna be actors instead of achieving their mastersAt least the bachelor would know too many wanna be rappersThat’s just statistics don't mistake me for hypocritesLike niggas in the White House supplying white towelsOr Jim Crow Laws you probably missed itHard to be persistent when you tryin' to fight for your existence[Hook:]It ain’t easy living life like thisWhen you tryin' to be righteousBut know a nigga might justLeave you lifeless for pricesHigh tech devicesSo keep your tech 9Or meet your crisis (x2)[Verse 2:Joey BADA$$]Person, mad nervous you surrender of the sturvingLook them in the eyes flicks makes you dieYou know you merc ‘em right therePlus his hide is like right hereSo you know that if you would fight fairThen you’d have him like cry scaredBut don’t forget to tack your heartBy your right handSo listen loud and clearYou don’t wanna lose your life thereDon’t you show a slight tailOr let 'em sight fearJust let 'em disappear in the night yeahWhat your life is, rabbi the clack isLeft alone in the apartmentSomeone’s been jobless someone make dollarsShaking it topless andDaddy be gone said itTook off like ashesDizzy gain knowledgeI’m keeping it with the synopsisSaying shit like that make you wish you were adoptedTo escape the pain you joined the gangAnd get intoxicatedHad no shame, nothing wrong with some Mary JaneThe only thing is you do with the game[Hook:]It ain’t easy living life like thisWhen you tryin' to be righteousBut know a nigga might justLeave you lifeless for pricesHigh tech devicesSo keep your tech 9Or meet your crisis (x2)[Verse 3:Joey BADA$$]Imagine me fed upA go getter, for more cheddarPour never, no more lettuce‘Cause I know no betterNo error no stealsNo Kirk, No Lee, no schoolNo OJ, no talent, know meBut if I did say act rightWhat if I pack crack whiteWith my sack tightJoined the gang fightThey click clack tightSledding the vibeWith the black stripeAnd get my friend’s the back knifeCause that’s life Nigga[Hook:]It ain’t easy living life like thisWhen you tryin' to be righteousBut know a nigga might justLeave you lifeless for pricesHigh tech devicesSo keep your tech 9Or meet your crisis (x4)
