The Storm


The storm shaking the trees
The world filled with disease
We are falling to our knees
Saying lord please
The heat is on , it's 500 degrees
Sweat on my forehead
Made it through
Thought we was all dead
Made enough money
So we was all fed
Lookin out for the boys in blue
move through Cincinnati
Bump all feds
Used to
like the reds.
All the blood that I bled.
Young boy with big dreams
A lot expected of a Youngin not even 15
Since I was about 9 my only
Dream was to get cream
Almost 200 strong and to think it started as something just to blow off steam.
From the pains of the world
From the pains from the girls

The storm.

The storm shaking the trees

The world filled with disease

We all falling to our knees.

Begging the lord please

In court trying to cop a plea
Don't take my family from me. No.
You get more time from selling cocaine than homicide.
Somebody take something from me,
With choppers on deck,
Imma ride.
Stay strapped like velcro
You ever catching me slippin? no.
My shoes Nike. No shell toe
Hoodie on over my head as I hit the streets
Rain hittin my feet, head down, facin the concrete
in this storm.

The storm shaking the trees

The world filled with disease

We are falling to our knees

Beggin the lord please

We're defenseless. So blind to the pain
Look how far we done came
People saying you changed
But you switchin your lane
And you changin the game
And you doing your thing
And you perform on the biggest stage
And you wearing your ring.
Smile for all these cameras
Show em your bling
Grind till you on the top of your world
Until you the KING.
And when the storm come
Don't quit...
Fight through it…
You want a Nike deal...
Well, just do it.
Leaving the gym, rain hittin your sneakers
That dedication through the storm
That's the reason girls screaming your name in the bleachers.
Mixing the chemicals to success,
Like you playin with beakers.
And the gym is my lab.
Student of the game got my pen and my pad.
Every body hated to be here,
But boy was I glad
This my life,
This isn't just a fad.
It's raining on my sunny dreams but I'm gonna get better.

Not mad

The storm.

The storm shaking the trees

The world filled with disease

We fall down to our knees.

Saying lord please.

Don't let this devil take hold of me. ~~ZJ
