[00:00:24] I could call 'em Navy SEALs cause they government feds

[00:00:27] What become of the vets They drugged up they f**ked up they in debt

[00:00:31] There ain't no love and no respect it's like a gang it's like a club or a set

[00:00:34] Hip-Hop's the new WWF

[00:00:35] What do you rap or do you wrestle Niggas love to forget

[00:00:38] We got til it's gone you think you on you still hustlin backwards

[00:00:41] Your topical norm a tropical storm it's a f**kin disaster

[00:00:44] Back to the topic we on it all started at Rawkus

[00:00:47] They couldn't find the words to describe me so they resort to the shortcuts

[00:00:50] Is he a backpacker Is he a mad rapper

[00:00:53] An entertainer or the author of the last chapter

[00:00:55] We living in these times of love and cholera

[00:00:58] Synonymous with the apocalypse look up the clouds is ominous

[00:01:01] We got maybe ten years left say meteorologists shit

[00:01:04] We still waitin for the Congress to acknowledge this

[00:01:06] What the people want Please deliver us

[00:01:09] We wanna live it up please deliver us

[00:01:13] Th-th-this is the th-th-this is the this is the hostile gospel

[00:01:17] I'm reaching through the fire - please deliver us

[00:01:20] I'm preaching to the choir - please deliver us

[00:01:23] Just keep it real with us you scared to spill your blood

[00:01:26] Your words rung hollow we need someone to follow

[00:01:28] You ain't promised tomorrow so get your paper up

[00:01:31] You can't always just borrow and asks for favors bruh

[00:01:34] Stand on your own two never covet thy neighbor's stuff

[00:01:36] Karma's a bitch so watch your mouth and what you sayin bruh

[00:01:39] I start a conversation based on general observation

[00:01:42] Hip-Hop is not a nation take it to population

[00:01:45] Niggas got a lot to say when locked inside the belly of Satan

[00:01:47] Awaitin trial debatin how the hell I got placed in this system

[00:01:50] Am I a victim or just a product of indoctrination

[00:01:53] They exploit it and use me like a movie with product placement

[00:01:56] You hear the congregation; this is the hostile gospel

[00:01:58] The truth is hard to swallow it'll leave you scarred tomorrow

[00:02:01] Keep it honest our motto these niggas keep it bottled

[00:02:04] I'm the writer who reach the fighters like speeches by Cus D'Amato

[00:02:07] DJs stickin to vinyl like "F**k Serato"

[00:02:10] Suppliers who ride around the block in the custom autos

[00:02:12] Ballin like the struck the lotto you know who the cleanest is

[00:02:15] A nigga keep it reeich with the stitch and greedy geniuses

[00:02:17] I'm not a hipster but I flip it like a sneaker pimp

[00:02:20] Expose the game treat it like a bitch

[00:02:22] Smack fire out these hoes cause they snitch and tap wires while I plead the fifth

[00:02:26] You can't trust a soul in the biz so be careful who you eatin with

[00:02:29] And sleepin with and also who you chiefin with

[00:02:31] You never know they might've added in secret ingredients

[00:02:34] What the people want Please deliver us

[00:02:36] We wanna live it up please deliver us

[00:02:41] Th-th-this is the th-th-this is the this is the hostile gospel

[00:02:47] I'm preaching to the choir - please deliver us

[00:02:50] Just keep it real with us you scared to spill your blood

[00:02:53] Your words rung hollow we need someone to follow

[00:02:56] Freedom's a road that's seldom traveled watch hell unravel

[00:02:59] Right before the eyes of the soldier who fell in battle

[00:03:01] The single mother who raised her daughter to bear the sacred water

[00:03:04] And not take the hand of every man who make a offer

[00:03:06] To black kids wishin they white kids when they close they eyelids

[00:03:09] Like "I bet they neighborhood ain't like this"

[00:03:12] White kids wishin they black kids and wanna talk like rappers

[00:03:15] It's all backwards it's identity crisis

[00:03:17] The industry inside us is vipers with fangs trying to bite us

[00:03:20] Drug suppliers is the health care providers

[00:03:21] We cakin makin narcotics outta household products

[00:03:25] We ain't workin out 'til we exorcise the demons that's inside us

[00:03:28] Plus they seem to just provide us with enough rope to hang ourselves

[00:03:32] Enough dope to slang ourselves enough toast to bang ourselves

[00:03:34] It's officially nigga season these niggas is bleedin

[00:03:37] That's why I'm spittin freedom we had enough of trigger squeezin

[00:03:39] What the people want Please deliver us

[00:03:42] We wanna live it up please deliver us

[00:03:45] Th-th-this is the th-th-this is the this is the hostile gospel

[00:03:50] I'm reaching through the fire - please deliver us

[00:03:53] I'm preaching to the choir - please deliver us

[00:03:56] Just keep it real with us you scared to spill your blood

[00:03:59] Your words rung hollow we need someone to follow

[00:04:01] In these tryin days and times
