1
Like a medicine in times of war, helps me get over
2
The sweetest sounds I ever heard, my joy, my heart, my music
3
Like a medicine in times of war, helps me get over
4
The sweetest sounds I ever heard, my joy, my life, my music
5
I'm from a small city, but I have big dreams
6
Had some good ideas, but I had better schemes
7
I thought the hustle way for me was etched in stones
8
Until my pun to dime and name etched in stone
9
My daughter's growing up, my son on his way
10
They closing in on me, I feel like every day
11
Music saves me, soothing like the navy
12
But a lifetime of scars only sixteen bars
13
So I took the vibe with me using my life
14
Yep, I propose the main music my wife
15
If ever need to call a nigga music's my night
16
And if I need to bring the girls together music's my dice
17
If I degraded and I haven't even cried to
18
I watch purpose prophesize about going through
19
Music ain't the knowledge itself
20
And I'm the knowledge itself, then I acknowledge your wealth
21
Like a medicine in times of war, helps me get over
22
The sweetest sounds I ever heard, my joy, my heart, my music
23
Like a medicine in times of war, helps me get over
24
The sweetest sounds I ever heard, my joy, my life, my music
25
Music a part of me, I'm a bully
26
Beating up the track with brutal lines
27
The truth inside of me, rappers hit the booth and they lie to me
28
I'm using the inspiration that they provide to me
29
I'm redefining the space, you can call me the new geometry
30
A picture of you, papa, when I google monogamy
31
Now all the people who go irresponsibly
32
Thinking your album is trash is not the root of economy
33
So you're expecting the conscious and introspect of use
34
Each of lyrical vestibule, let me tell you what's best for you
35
My music gives you a message true or respect is due
36
But music is emotion, that's lost for me intellectual
37
A tree in form of a far is never heard
38
Amongst the sparrows and the robbers and even the ghetto birds
39
You download it for free but what I create the same
40
Of course you're nothing but a pair in making, trust me
41
Like a medicine in times of war, helps me get over
42
The sweetest sounds I ever heard, my joy, my heart, my music
43
Like a medicine in times of war, helps me get over
44
The sweetest sounds I ever heard, my joy, my life, my music
45
I was born on the afterbeat, I'm like ron for Johnson
46
When you reach the crossroads me and the devil have to meet
47
It's all the same thing as clever Lauryn when they saw it
48
Lauryn went, looking for God and 'Clef kept tourin'
49
Willing to the same songs but we hear them different
50
Serenade the death like we got a fear of living
51
Having the sounds on stage cause the spirit rising
52
Stop the devilish ways where clever displays the lyricism
53
The songs are a natural resource of actual street stories
54
Attract the police forces
55
Slay to the rhythm the masses that rip off us
56
And he could run before he walked
