Exodus - Slum Village

Yall know the message to the youth now, everybody spazz out

Then these rappers run for cover inside of a glass house

Surrounded by velvet, drinking til they pass out

Screaming wyowilla why they pulling weed and hash out

I’m freaking the ass off right before the cash out

Right into the fast lane

That’s why they take a quick course in how they get they resources

They end up getting screwed and find out what true intercourse is

Bitch, it’s very non-consensual and eventual

If they will get involved with a model that’s in love with perks

It’s funny cause all we are and them birds in merch

Commodity like the robberies done in church

I mean I’m tired of being a scrub because turf

Give me love while I’m standing above this dirt

And I’m loving everybody that loves this work

Me and the fellows got it up in the back doing work

(Hook)

Maybe exodus is a must

See it, get it, live it up

Witness, breathless, this is us

This is how we get it, in God we trust

(Verse)

I live my life and still life, so much death in my path

Then real life don’t even feel right

I prayed on it to stay horny

Wonder where my day goin

It’s still slowin like motion

Going through the motions

Feeling like I can’t breathe, choking

Wanna see the waves of the ocean

Wanna change the ways I was copin

Sipping Henny, getting plenty toastin

Caught up in the past, I ain’t focused

I told folk I’m bout to get focused

Grind, tell this man I’m with the prize and the trophy

Fly as the coat see, fly as the nose be

Yup, rise among you the ties and prossy

Ascending to the top of the spot, we the only

Niggas who made it feel me pimpin like going deep

I’m just tryna get a shot like a goalie

Two to the head, top to the dompies

(Hook)

Maybe exodus is a must

See it, get it, live it up

Witness, breathless, this is us

This is how we get it, in God we trust

(Verse)

Yea, rise up from the ashes

Better than before, metamorphosis

Let me show you the way like Morpheus

Through this matrix, one of the rules are quite basic

Respect yourself and respect what’s sacred

Truth — face it

It might be hard

But heaven and hell are really under the stars

You live, you fall

You finish, you start

Realize what’s real and what’s an illusion

They teach lies on this bowl of confusion

I see beyond the sun, where the truth lies

Got the happy days with the blue skies

I could try to drink away the pain, what would that change?

Reality will still remain the same

Take the good and the bad in life’s lessons

Every breath is a blessing

Just breathe

(Hook)

Maybe exodus is a must

See it, get it, live it up

Witness, breathless, this is us

This is how we get it, in God we trust
