Memento - Ransom

Keep a small circle, just the people who stuck around with you

Still cut it down a few

I tried to be a fan, but these people you lookin' up to

Of course they’ll be lookin' down at you (damn!), couldn’t allow them to

Fuck givin' 'em flowers while they here

I kill 'em off, then I gladly give 'em they flowers due

That’s what power do, this man’s enormous

And never been a stranger to shinin' like Danny Torrance, huh

Ran’s performance, a fresh thesis

This from a nigga that’s been tatted with the ink from the chess pieces

Best secret’s never been told since seven years old

I been tortured, ain’t no remorse for these benevolent souls (no)

I swear I seen the Devil in clothes

He said, «Ain't nobody livin' that’s innocent, nigga ball out

The bottom’s like the top, I’ll be there when everything falls out

Forget ya inhibitions, no virgins live in this whore house» (it's a fact)

It’s like Cosby walkin' through Morehouse

You sleepin', I’ll be tempted to victimize you, I mystify you

Hero to these strong black males who failed in the system, lied to (let's go)

Been a rebel, so why would this surprise you?

Group home toddler with two chrome monsters

I remind 'em of Gorgeous Gangsta in his two tone Boxster (Stack)

Full blown mobster, I don’t know niggas who fear cases

From a era where you probably got killed in them staircases

Our Father, most niggas don’t share graces

Prayer hands under ya pic’s what you get in some rare cases

Look in the eyes of these tatted up tear faces

Even a snake can appear gracious

Yeah, every bar full of knowledge

I went to prison, told my kids I went off to some college

I can offer you solace, everything that glitters ain’t gold

Watch ya foes, only the meek can fall for mirages…
