Same Me (Intro)

Me & CT sliding thru the city taking backstreets,
Whip the Honda like a taxi
Got my 40 on my backseat
Cause life getting unpredictable, 1 predicament can be the 1 that centerfolds
& doubles down,
Now my past in my present im in trouble now
Looked back, saw the dirt & tried to scrub it out
But these scrubs around, wanna take me down 6 feet,
What a clown to think they taking me like Nipsey
On the real im a beast niggas too sweet
Thinking we share similarities
Hell yea im offended no comparing me
Got a couple shoes for a pair of feet shit is not a parody
& me, im not a parakeet,
Staying solid for the land like a Cherokee
Niggas got some deaf ears if they aint hearing me
Face to face same ones dont even dare to speak,
Safe to say the hate a never put fear in me
Im just tryna make it clearer with the clarity
Never at a contest for popularity
Or keeping counts on favors like a charity
My humility only reason they be darin me
I ont see too many as self-aware as me
I still care to speak

Reaching to the meek searching for the peak
Preaching to the strong praying for the weak
Sittin on my trunk looking at the trees
Black sprinter on corner feds down the street
Young man lost in the Army witnessing a sweep
Got homies traumatized from they cell block
Same ones that used to have Riverdale watched
Brother coming home in my face like you cant tell pops
What you see unless you tryna see hell pop stop..
Aint no wishes when the well’s dryin
Aint no dishes when ya stomach’s dyin
Only time you eat, people lying in a grave
Caged in emotions, stuck in the mind frame of a slave
Focused on the pay instead of days made to appreciate
Lookin at the scars from the pain I needa deviate
& find better ways to alleviate all the hurt internally for me to be a great
They see black & white im seein grey
Road to riches gettin bumpy gotta keep it straight
Niggas make a face when you keep a pace
Cause you peeped that it aint a race
Tables turn I just gotta keep my seat in place
Living a world where it’s free to hate
Wanna trick my vision I just gotta keep it straight
Faking intuition I just gotta keep it straight..

Bendin curves while im sipping tryna keep it straight…
Blowin herbs on the ceiling tryna keep it straight..
Left wavey in the benches now its me JADE

Cause they gon always have you twisted if you eat the bait..
Staying firm to my vision imma feed em faith
I just gotta stay the same me, JADE !
