From Dusk Till Dawn - Ransom

Love from the hood

In honor only bestowed on those who showed the hood the most unwavering of

loyalties

I’m talking street niggas

Most literally from cradle to grave

Most literally from corn to the court

Most literally niggas who look the block in their last moments gasping for air

Right before yellow tapes make a spectacle of their bodies raw on cement

If the hood loves you, should make a monument of this location

Forever been a force, y’all lit the torch inside my inner thoughts

A nigga lost, ironic I finds myself in the nicks of court

You’r immature, think every minut’s yours, that’s miniature

Like minotaurs, a bull-headed nigga, don’t like to listen, dog

Let’s finish off, I been to your hell, am I a sinner?

Sure

But look, it’s a ray from that rifle that keeps that lid secure

But what’s gon' make us kick in them doors

This here is neither chess nor checkers, nigga, this shit is war

You’ve been a fraud, I’d forfeit if I was you, a prophet’s view

The love could make you strong, but the hate will make you unstoppable

What I can do is show you the vision for every obstacle

What not to do, and turn the improbable to a possible

(Let's fucking go)

Now these rappers is name calling

Don’t gamble with your mic and end up like a James Jordan (Damn)

I know you feel when them flames roaring

Rain pouring, flood your ears with the fears of me brainstorming

Aim crawling through the mud with fatigues, I’m in pain warring

But me and Payne is equivalent to a plane soaring

(I'm built for this shit)

I relived horrors to make you men quiver, intense nigga

I’m just a kingpin with a king’s pen, nigga

Verses are 10k, I move like MJ with the blicker

Black ruger, king caged since 10th grade with my niggas

A mogul, I signed rappers, I get paid to get bigger

Shit is bittersweet, I mix the lemonade with the liquor, wooh

Amazingly dope, Payne, baby, they say he the GOAT

Big Daddy Kane and Wayne Gacy on coke

A mix of Hulkamania and Tray Chaney, I’m both

I’m religiously counting digits, Pennsylvania’s pope, Payne

Sharp imagery, dark energy

Part Hennessey, uncertain future with harsh memories

Yeah, the kid is a star, that’s authentically

I’m obese, Roseanne bars, I scarred enemies, wooh

These suckers, they don’t respect the flex

I’m calling shots right from the chair like I’m Professor X

Chopper got a tripod, that’s an erector set

Etch a sketch you right out the picture, that’s a direct effect

My plan vivid, I handpicked it, this man wicked

You understand, me and Ran is a pandemic

See, they gave me the light and I ran with it

Two champions exchanging punches, Duran, Leonard

Motherfucker
