Sha Stimuli - HOMELESS lyrics
[Sha Stimuli - HOMELESS lyrics]
I used to feel hopeless, then I got focused
Once my dude Focus
Said rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
I said, I'ma try
Look, now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I'm thankful I have food to eat
A place to stay
And in the winter there was heat
And I had garments I could wear
Shoes or sneakers for my feet
I didn't starve, wasn't touched
Wasn't battered, wasn't beat
I'm not a cripple, not retarded
Look, before I get too deep
See I'm just saying that I'm blessed
But being blessed don't make me weak
And my success is not contingent
On possessions when I speak
It's for a place
Where the kids gotta pour for their eyes
To have a beverage
Cause they deaded all they water supply
The expectancy of life
Is around 35 in my hood
But in some countries, it's an honor to die
It's from a place where you struggle and
The curtain is your table cloth
Your kitchen is your dining room
They keep cutting the cable off
This is where my verses get dangerous
And the safety's off
Riddled with regret and we stressing out
From the days we lost
Or we dealing with a crazy boss
Stuck on a lazy course
Or tired of hearing prayer talk
Realized that what I called hard living
Was baby soft unsung maybe
But that was the way I came across
Now when I be playing Ross
I don't feel stupid
Used to think it's unfair that
I do spirit moving music
Used to lose it, but you choose it
Cause you it's proven that the truth is
Still the food you should consume
I'm mixing humor with the tutoring or
I bring you pain like it's a tumor
Or a rumor but, I rap it like for half my
Life I lived without a room
It's like a Michael took flight
And started walking on the moon
I woke up reaching for the sun
So I could talk with all the goons
And you could see what I envision
Picture sitting in the park
Tryin' to make a living
Moving white after dark
If steppin' on a crack can
Break your mother's back
Imagine, instead of stepping you selling
You'd break her heart
My words come together so ill
I deserve sentencing
Words coming together, that's a sentence
With an exclamation point
Cause a period means an ending
And I'm far from being finished
They spitting i'm out here hemorrhaging
It's evident
I never been hesitant when I represent
Myself and the creator
I'm heaven sent, got no benefit's
So when I said I'm sick with the flow
Although I need medicine at times
All I had was these rhymes
See I was negligent
A 9 to 5 is how you survive
My dude's is peddling my mother was my hero
Or better yet my heroine
The weather's been, stormy malevolent
And the present tense is all I
Focus on that's my emphasis
So remember that sentence I was mentioning?
Just know I never fail look
Look, before I go to jail
I would probably grow a tail
And get a part with my name
In the back of my head
They only praise how you rap when you dead
But so what? I rhyme with no pot to piss in
My dollar mission is not consistent
My obvious opposition is poverty
I'm efficient I promise
My competition is not who you
Like to listen to
I just think my position is
Loving the life I'm living
The industry, it cannot control me
My path ain't been rosey
My Facebook status is holy
That's half of the story
I'm mad you don't know
I'm happy you owe me, I laugh when I'm lonely
I'm I'm going left
Holding my breath, let my soul interject
In every line
Anytime that I show you my depth
Or let you know
You should know that I know I'm the best
It's like I'm closer to death with
A gaping hole in my chest
And a microphone in my face I
Don't know what you rep
But every month I've been consistent
You should show me respect for real
Doubt me, and you defeat yourself
I love the new me, every day I meet myself
I battle mirrors, try to beat myself
You wanna make me history
Well history repeats it'self like Sha
Stimuli the greatest
You can't rate it on a scale of
1 to 10 he's a 16
Used to write 16 to sound like
He was homeless at 16
What I offer is authentic, there's no denial
You rapping to buy an auto
I'm rappin' my auto bio good
God
Once my dude Focus
Said rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
I said, I'ma try
Look, now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I'm thankful I have food to eat

And I had garments I could wear

I didn't starve, wasn't touched
Wasn't battered, wasn't beat
I'm not a cripple, not retarded
Look, before I get too deep
See I'm just saying that I'm blessed
But being blessed don't make me weak
And my success is not contingent
