Goodkid Collins - Hardball lyrics
rate meI examined the worlds core
Took a look at the people grabbed the bible and asked the lord
What do you have in store?
Cause its people riding around every night
Im tryna stay above that so I can float onto the sure
Grab my mic, close the door and spit about real life like hearing ya boy in the morg in the fall next few hours relives gone
Now whats going on in the world, realize, you seeing the holy word unfold
Why the hell is everybody in the streets fishing for bodies
Like it was some type of hobby?
Probably cuz it was lively way back in the ‚1990s
History repeats itself Trayvon riots like King Rodneys
I'm bodying everybody in this lobby of a body
And fulfilling everthing that I desire and admire
Realize I live in a jungle and tonight I am a lion
Twenty Twelve said the mians it was over
But I’m still here getting bolder like a boulder
Heavyweight up on my sholder put it down I aint given up
Cuz I represent the good kid struggle
When a banger is your brother, watch your back cuz they'll
hurt you
Where you from? I dnt bang but so what cuz your brother packing nines
I’m only packing inteligence
When I was nine, I was abc's and the elements
Of weed smoking, drink pouring
He mourning, he’s yawnin
He’s yearning for anothet type of placement
I never see my nigga cry until his momma past
Is was alwayse big joking and a lot of laughs
But it was time,my nigga look at the hour glass
God, got her look at her she in lot of land
With gold streets pearly gates yea she got it going on
We"ll see her one day, just go ahead and live on to the fullest
Dodge a bullet and who ever throw it at you you got kids and a house so go ahead and look after for you fam my nigga you know we got you
And if I make it you make it, you know it’s times two
Time to Realize what is to come when them lies true
People gonna despise you
But remind you you do whatever you out your mind to
Real eyes relize when you being lied to
A lot of that has happend but I aint stopping what I do
A lot of people aint heard me but that don't mean that I'm new
Since the three of age I was in a cage maze In my mind battleing with metaphors and similes
Same time I was thinkin bout going in the rage
Mama gone all i got is my brothers cousins and stage of imagination of making it in the game
Tied a yoyo around my neck imagine it it's a chain
I went through a faze of amazement i seen a face in the sky gave me a sign that God was raisin me to be a man in the land of gangbang
And it Lead me to never back down for a challange
No matter what it is I been playing hardball this the field
First base started walking
Second base started talking, third base I was rhyming
Now to finish what I started
Home run I’m just waiting on my turn
Just to hit it now I’m sitting at third base ready to run off and just steal it
I was gifted with this gift of being gifted till the day that I die and my soul is being lifted
So till then I'll just survive it's survival of the fittest I really started from the bottom i never had the riches
