BigXthaPlug & Jessie Murph - Holy Ground

Life's smoking gun, love's dangerous
That's the way it is, that's the way it was
When you learned to run, it was in the mud
It was in the cold, now it's in your blood
I burn from the hell I've seen
But the devil can't hold me down
I've earned all the hell, I'll be
Standin' on holy ground

Ay, see the devil keep holdin' me down
But my people say, "Pop it"
See, I come from the gutter, the mud, the dirt
But somehow, I got tied to this rocket
Huh, I was down on my luck, I ain't had me a buck
Swear this life shit was rocky
Had to figure it out ASAP 'cause see
Now I got kids, I be damned if they copy

Every store we walk in, now we shoppin'
If I see it, I like it, I cop it
It was days when I didn't have shit
Used to walk through the store puttin' shit in my pockets
Kickin' doors, you get caught, keep it solid
All them nights that I felt I was droppin'
All them nights I was thuggin' alone in them streets
If a nigga try me, bet I pop him

Get to thinkin' 'bout shit and get nauseous, shh
All the folks that's six feet in them coffins
All them people that's stuck in them cells
They was havin' that shit, now they can't get it off 'em
All the OG's, they used to be bosses
They all dead or in jail
They either was sellin' that shit or was smokin' that shit
Now the youth lookin' crazy as hell (crazy as hell)

Life's smoking gun, love's dangerous
That's the way it is, that's the way it was
When you learned to run, it was in the mud
It was in the cold, now it's in your blood
I burn from the hell I've seen
But the devil can't hold me down
I've earned all the hell, I'll be
Standin' on holy ground

They said if I get me some money
That shit would get better and change
The only thing changed 'bout this shit is I got me some money
The rest of this shit still feelin' the same
Shit, it probably got worse
'Cause now I got cake, everybody gon' want them a piece
As soon as you text someone, know they gon' call you a ho
'Cause they swear that you owe them a fee

You can't even do for yourself 'cause they peep
They gon' go on the internet, make a lil' post
Sayin', "What about me?"
Shit, what about you? You left me on E
In the jungle, I came out that bitch like a beast
With the lions and tigers, can't fuck with no sheep
Can't compete with a nigga who come from defeat
Huh, pissed 'em off when I got on my feet

Huh, pissed 'em off when I got in my bag
If a nigga hate me, know he mad
How the fuck can you speak out and hate on a nigga who winnin'
When you know he worked for that bag?
Swear it's fuck shit, it's weird, and it's sad
But I'm built for it all, that's a fact
But the ones who stayed down and believed in a nigga
I swear we gon' shine even when it get bad, ay

Life's smoking gun, love's dangerous
That's the way it is, that's the way it was
When you learned to run, it was in the mud
It was in the cold, now it's in your blood
I burn from the hell I've seen
But the devil can't hold me down
I've earned all the hell, I'll be
Standin' on holy ground
