Jasmine
I was in the fog fully aware
Only got split seconds and the other times? if I was even there
When your world shift to slow mo
Things are more important, things you will never know
I come from high culture slapped back to ghetto
I lived both sides so my demeanor is different
Rich or poor it was both vociferent
Sitting sideways one day made me cry
So back to my poor, back to my side when they all asked why
For my jasmine
My jasmine live behind castles walls
But as toy soldiers when one down, we all fall
Walking - looking back remembering every bit
Soldiers training a general they contemplate as we sit
They all know I’m a higher one day
Trying to pull a “pac” on me is all I have to say
Is all I live for in this day
Besides my Jasmine
Game I ain’t trying to chase a cat - I’m just running back
But no longer will I sit here and allow the disrespect in attack
God chose - he was ghost - I was life
Street sweeper to General - not Cinderella to wife
And I too will raise mine if even in death so it to be
But you better not dare lie to jasmine when it comes to me
I ain’t ever met a female stronger than me
So pardon me if I can’t bow down or respect
Pardon me while I reshuffle this deck
Not one that actually walks the streets and just pretends to be
Speaks about all that it’s like pretending to be me
Some crack head hoe who swear she my death
And I put it on my last breath
Just like she put that k on that meth
A disease
A disease you just infect the hood
Now fall back and just respect as you should
Jasmines on my mind so you better tell them get the fuck back up
If I don’t make it, you make them stand again and just say yup
And to that bitch...
You may be the one to call the guns aiming at me
But three times I survived and you can’t ever take my virginity
Raised among wolves but I wasn’t the one in sheep‘s clothing
I didn’t have a pack I was all alone babysitting their sleep stopping they choking while they all chasing a thrown
So maybe the next world is mine I learned by watching you not to fuck up
Cause this is just level one - pyre stand the fuck back up
While you sticking pins in my skin or my eyes - my heart growls
Remembering every “I thought it was a lie” counting owls
I seen him at the cones, back then I was only 14
So know every step ahead of you and your fortune already seen
Oh I didn’t have a vest? Took three to the vagina and still lived
Regretting every moment I ever forgived
Listen...
For jasmine I say fine, for my jasmine I spit every line
For Jasmine who gonna watch over all of mine
For Jasmine - my faith and my nine
