Man, you know I got some questions
But you say you know the truth I“m not done learning all my lessons Ignorance is no excuse
Everything you say IĀ“m missing Think Iām destined for the dirt? ItĀ“s like IĀ“m guilty by omission I guess maybe IĀ“ll convert
And I“m like yeah yeah And you“re like nah nah And I“m like hell yeah And I“m like
Thatās why they call me Temple Priest mothafucka Thatās why they call me Temple Priest mothafucka
Why you donĀ“t got any questions? How you know that this is real? I am feeling such repression You canāt tell me how to feel
Why you think I“m at the bottom? Why you think I“m off the path? “Cause I used to love the bottle? Or is it the tattoos on my back?
And Iām like yeah yeah And youĀ“re like nah nah And IĀ“m like hell yeah And IĀ“m like

[Paul Wall] Bow wow baby Bow wow Bow wow baby
Ay, judge thee not lest ye be judged Don“t mind me I“m just doing my drugs I don“t bar none and I don“t hold no grudge But I“m all real homie I do not budge
They tell ya it“s for your soul They just playing a role “Cause when it“s all said and done It“s comes down to control
All the lying and deception
Been taking its toll But I“m ten toes down I will not fold
I get manipulated every time I“m in a bad place They straight lie to my face And then ask for grace
The phone calls stop coming When I talk my case Then they tell me that I“m wrong If I question my faith
I gotta look past the messenger And hear the message I gotta be my best self And get all my blessings
So let me light up this blunt And if they hate, so what? I“m doing me I“m not concerned too much
[Kota the Friend] Sitting on the mountaintop Well above the clouds I don“t feel like I“m about to drop
Hanging in the balance I don“t harbor any malice I done been up in the slums I done been up in the palace
I“m infinity Sacred geometry Living simply
Universe aligned with my spirit I feel its symmetry
I remember vividly The Devil tried to finish me Nature got my back So he couldn“t fuck with the synergy
I break bread with the lost Make joy by your pain Found peace in a war I made do in the rain
Star shining in night My light true as the day I don“t believe in the hype I“m only human, I say
Oh you lost? Well I“m lost too And some of us are murdered with the knowledge But we all fools
What“s the point of winning While we living When we all lose When it“s said and done In the ending when we all screwed
And I“m like yeah yeah And you“re like nah nah And I“m like hell yeah And I“m like
