Shepherd by Why-Fi Lyrics
SHEPHERD
I'm just tryna give you that...
Swear that these niggas be sleep... (Yeah)
(VERSE 1)
Welcome to the jungle where the humble and the thugs
Get to rumble over trouble and the hustling of drugs
Struggle over crumbles just wondering where the love at?
Cuz There's no fun in having to run away from some gun claps
And this shit will end with someone getting bust back
Just Reminiscing on the bus with my bus pass
Use to get by off lunch snacks and Rugrats
But now we getting high off dub sacs in em blunt raps
Other days I need an eight or an ounce
Best believe I'm gon' be facing that loud
Cuz most these niggas smile in your face but they hate and they doubt
While Bitches choosing based on Savings in your banking accounts damn
Been popping pills and drinking since the 7th grade
Round the time my friends was sellin' weed for better Jays
Now they either down in Jail or up at heavens gates
As I'm praying for some better days but we gon get it straight
Even though I grew up around some violence
Ambulances and sirens
A Misfit misguided with no guidance
But i know that the lord knows that I'm trying
In deep search for enlightenment
These Streets are a lions den
Hoping to be inspiring to make your pain stop
Cuz ever since they beat my ass man I hate cops
Feeling like I got no umbrella walking thru the rain drops
And This ain't a fable no Aesop nigga
(CHORUS)
I'm just tryna give you that real
But I swear that these niggas sleep!
I know that Id rather be the Shepherd than to ever ever be the sheep
No one can ever tell me what to think
No one can ever tell me who to be
Nowadays it's kill or be killed
Is it gonna be you or will it be me
What is it gon be?
What is it gon be?
Is it gonna be will it be me? (aye)
I'm just tryna give you that real
But I swear that these niggas sleep!
I know that Id rather be the Shepherd than to ever ever be the sheep
(VERSE 2)
Yeah I Came from the gutter, got my name from my mother, learned the game from my brother
Seen some things during the summers, but that shit made me tougher
Never played for no sucker, remember when we was younger, Belly was full with hunger
Often labeled as a statistic or even a number
But when niggas die the immediate suffer
FOX News barely give us with any media coverage
As we Blind like the sheep even Stevie he wonder
But I don't really know why they like to go and throw shade.... on everything that I do
You and I ain't never been the same, yeah... Been feeling this way since high school
I Don't got time to complain... Imma Keep it briefer than a haiku
Thinkin bout it put me in a daze... Getting dizzy at the looping the cycle
Cuz I'm a product of my environment
Catch me ridin round my town hear the tires spin
And My day 1's the only ones that I'm ridin' with
Bitch I'm grindin' to get that early retirement
Use to sell dope but now I sell quotes for a better price
It was all we knew so we could have a better life
And Music is my second chance that got me feeling limitless
My Pops told me it not how start its how you finish it
(CHORUS)
I'm just tryna give you that...
Swear that these niggas be sleep... (Yeah)
