Poetik

Feat. Sefa M, HARI

IntroPOETIK

Ayy, this one goes out to my good friend Ryan Underwood
Rest in peace, brah, I wish you were here, we all miss you
And, um, tell the truth, I'm still drunk as fuck from your funeral, bro, shit

ChorusHari & POETIK

Got the weight on my shoulders [You know how we do it
In the, I [Miss you, bro
Through the hate and disorder [Usos would still be here
Fighting fire with torture [Wa, wa, wa
In the moment, I
Mercy, got my supporter
With the help of the soldier
Get these demons out of my corner

Verse 1POETIK

Where would I be without my people who remain loyal?
Dead in the gutter probably, I'm a bad example for ya
See, I been drinkin', I been thinkin', plottin', escalatin'
Put the repercussions on these back-stabbers player hatin'
And I ain't got a lot of time, don't got a lot of patience
This life is taxin', I ain't out here seekin' validation
I do my dirt up on my lonely boy, I'm treacherous
The uso code is how I'm livin', man, it's just my nature
Fuck the police, they beat us down and call us nigga
And I don't mean it like the homies say, "I love you, nigga"
Whole different meaning; fuck the system, man, they so deceivin'
But see, I'm evil too; I came up thuggin', we was thievin'
Smokin' masati, rappin' hella fast like we from Cleveland
And we was robbin' too; I snatch a dude out his Adidas
Lost many homies on the way, I swear I'm always grievin'
Pourin' out liquor by the litre, tryna find a reaper
Better watch for creepers; keep your pockets tucked when 'round these preachers
If you don't hear from me this week, I'm probably fightin' demons
That's on the real, uce

ChorusHari

Got the weight on my shoulders
In the, I
Through the hate and disorder
Fighting fire with torture [Ooh
In the moment, I call on [In the morning, I call on
Mercy, got my supporter [Ah, ooh ooh
With the help of the soldier [Er-er
Get these demons out of my corner

Verse 2Sefa M

Look, say your prayer before I go out, hope in all my heart
Is life a movie? I been movin' while I play my part
Play my position, I been wishin' something gotta change
Made some decisions, I, I had it made
These memories play in my head of folks who passed away, I feel like Cast Away
I been lonely on this rock, I'm tryna stall but I just can't [Yeah
They think just 'cause I'm a rapper, my main job is entertain [What?
But they forget I got a heart behind these bars and all this pain
I lost my cousin to these streets and we still yell out "Rest in peace" [R.I.P.
R.I.P. Lee, Freaky Boy and Freak Cheek
Rest in peace, until we meet
Deal with these losses like a boss, I get right back up on my feet
I take a breath and that anxiety is cloggin' up my chest
'Cause when you fought in our society, it's watchin' every step
They say they love you but know all of that is purely for the show
They say they with me but when I look back, I'm really on my own

ChorusHari

Got the weight on my shoulders
In the, I [On
Through the hate and disorder
Fighting fire with torture [Ooh
In the moment, I call on [In the morning, I call on
Mercy, got my supporter [Ah, ooh ooh
With the help of the soldier [Er-er
Get these demons out of my corner
