Stay the Course - Big Shug

Stay the course feel me, stand up

Y’all already know

They shooting cities, diners and colleges

It’s a damn shame government don’t acknowledge this

Mercenaries only do what sells

Trump is more concerned with the NFL

Fuck the white house, he called your mother a bitch

'Cause you chose to take a knee on some equality shit

Now you see, what you think don’t mean shit

And there’ll never ever be another Collin Kaepernick

Back to the yester, trapped in the slave ship

One take a knee then we all take a hit

Stay focused, no time for hocus pocus

Attack like Locus, weapons locked and loaded

We might need of life’s

At the end of day, protect what’s yours

Still in the black woods smoking them backwoods

Out in the black boots, supporting the black goods

I still hustle, that’s how I was raised

When I started out, they said rap was a phase

Twenty years later, I still get paid

Watch some of y’all clowns still get played

Nuts!

What they’re saying is that the OG is supposed to connect the now with the past

and with the future.

But they say, the youngins is hard-headed, so ain’t no one

really paying attention.

But the thing is this song can end in a moments notice,

so we’re still gotta stay the course

Life is a paradise, we living a dream

Do what’s necessary by any means

Social media, likes and memes

What the fuck does all these mean?

What it means

Someone behind the scenes is taking the green

Don’t give a fuck about you and no one on your team

There’s more to it than chains and whips

Or a top chick on her knees, blowing your dick

Or a bum chick at the bank spinning your chips

You stay heavy grinding while she sharing her lips

Cosmetic existence leads to your extinction

There’s a master plan, what the fuck was you thinking?

I’m still in a box, living by the commercery

Hit it doggy style or you can leave missionary

They say you’ll live to be old

If you know which way to go

Pray on your knees at nine

Try to do what’s right

You know, you know

No one lasts forever

No one lasts forever, hey

People say they blessed, everyone says they blessed and a mother loses a child

and they can’t understand what’s the blessings in that.

Positive energy is out

here, stay the course, try to make it right out here

Big Shug, Ehheh!
