Fashawn - Something To Believe In (Lyrics)

[Verse 1: Fashawn]

Guess I'm at a crossroads, lost hope and I lost quotes

My heart smokes for the fire that ya'll done provoked

For the disbelievers guess the game was missing the leader

Now they kissin' my sneakers, lipstick on my Adidas

Word to the reverend, I'm runnin' this shit like Russell

Simmons, the game is the scrimmage, I'm just strechin' my muscles

These blasphemous bastards done acid

Hazardous, had to just smash on they ass

With this classic shit, Fash

Gave 'em the biz

Ya ain't even gotta ask if he do it till the casket dip

Believe it or not, legacy mean a lot

Fiendin' to reach for the top, ya'll dreamin' that I drop

Down, high break, free from they Glocks

Make prisoners out in Rikers Island think outside the box

This cookin' been predicted by the Mayans

Wrestlin' with religion and science

[Hook: Aloe Blacc]

Give me somethin', somethin' to believe in

Cause I'm lookin' for somethin', somethin' to believe in

[Verse 2: Nas]

Money getter until I'm a one percenter

Business is warfare, fuck you niggas

Edgar Hoover said stop the rise of a black messiah

The judge said charge teens as adults, turn them to lifers

Us holy but (?) slowly, tusk of ivory with (?)

Thus no slave told me, don't try me

We enterin' the age of Aquarius

Where Ukrainian armies and US National Guard tensions flarin' up

So unforgivin' the universe when you don't listen

It's all written, that soul quenchin' gold you're missin'

Careful an ending in the destructive penal system

Where you're wild bark and your growls turn to meows and hissin'

I'm torn between religions my necklaces represent

Many centuries of theories we all respect

But bare in mind, I'm just tryna see and hear the signs

At the terrible mind, lion screams, got my stripes with a nine

They from front street, make believe block

Got an attitude avenue, liars lane

Your life ain't compatible, not to mine, you insane

You belong in the liar society

You not as fly as me

The only music head that never slept with Superhead

Although I heard she suck like state troopers and feds

Is off the hook tonight

If I don't bag Halle, I take a look alike

Last night we left the club with bottles, my future bright

[Hook]

[Bridge: Aloe Blacc]

Born in the Mississippi summer

White cotton, gold corn, black hunger

What a brother gotta do to earn a meal?

Emancipation proclaimed, still turnin' the field

[Hook]
