Sometimes you gotta jerk them jerks
Play they game let them curses work
Celebrate the rain put a seed in the earth
Put your belief in, put your feet in the earth
Sometimes you gotta jerk them jerks
Play they game let them curses work
Celebrate the rain put a seed in the earth
Put your belief in, put your feet in the earth

When them people wanna play and they came to find out
We create with fire we could swim in a drought
Find peace in the loud, we could hang with the clouds
You sure you wanna go cus I know the route
Nothing new to a fool who been outside
Is it true yes I do see the other side
And we gotta put in overtime
For the simple fact how hard they try
To hold back and depress the light
To the test we rise stay blessed and shine
On a high note thats where I go ninety nine
Percent then there's that one
Where I gotta go dumb and shake shit up
You heard the rules they play, I can't make this up
No respect for the game baby where is the love
Say what you say, you gon lay where you dug

Sometimes you gotta jerk them jerks
Play they game let them curses work
Celebrate the rain put a seed in the earth
Put your belief in, put your feet in the earth
Sometimes you gotta jerk them jerks
Play they game let them curses work
Celebrate the rain put a seed in the earth
Put your belief in, put your feet in the earth

Lil E didn't wanna be on the scene no more
What's freedom when you can't see the door
That mess at home make him uncomfortable
He the last one to stay way after school
Thankful the hoop dream keep him off the street
And he gotta make grades to stay on the team
Growing up keep him busy cus it's hard in the city
Where they tax all your winnings and you trapped from the beginning
What's a damn pandemmy when you never had anything
Still in a food desert when they stimmy came
Fourth generation on the same foundation
If it wasn't for my great great I wouldn't have a safe space
Don't know where mom at, Dad's good as gone yeah
Brother on some other shit hope he find the mothership
All them wrongs all along they was humbling
How to hustle it without becoming one of them

Sometimes you gotta jerk them jerks
Play they game let them curses work
Celebrate the rain put a seed in the earth
Put your belief in, put your feet in the earth
Sometimes you gotta jerk them jerks
Play they game let them curses work
Celebrate the rain put a seed in the earth
Put your belief in, put your feet in the earth
