Pinned to the Cross

Pinned to the Cross - Rick Ross/Finn Matthews

Lyrics by：William Leonard Roberts II/Sean "Elijah Blake" Fenton

Composed by：William Leonard Roberts II/Sean "Elijah Blake" Fenton

They say young black men

Are now living in a state of public emergency

Middle class and poor people be targeted

Every day dealing with so much hostility

Negative socialism

I refuse to be petrified

And there's no mercy for the rivals

They want the rich n***as to live in total silence exiled

Flee the country more assassinations

Let's go

When you're forced to be fearless strangers consider you careless

Detrimental to my upbringing I felt so abandoned

I was lost in confusion therefore had nothing to lose

Now I'm running the racket n***a got cut from the noose

I just wanna be free another black man on the run

We was pinned to the 'cross since our birth under the sun

Ain't no hate in my heart I've adapted to rage

Step off the stage p***y n***a right back in the cage

Now we burning the streets christ to the 'cross

Our position is blatant blatant rightfully lost

Let's 'em power the people no need for signin' petitions

Thieves and revelations scriptures keep

On blinding these christians

I'm in search of the truth truth

We each have a flaw flaw

Soon as dre hit the roof she file for divorce

Van jones go get a broom never making no laws

Terry crews is another coon who was basically bought

Some say white eyes are like broke diamonds buried in the snow

But I see things we have seen coming a smile so beautiful

So if I cry and these white diamonds push along the shore

It's 'cause I know the s**t you've been through

And you made it beautiful

You made it made it made it made it

You made it beautiful

You made it made it made it

Made it beautiful

Racists killing for cotton n***as fighting for honor

In the south you're forgotten call my city the bottom

Kilos get to deposits living like it's the lotto

This my moment of glory grandiose is the dollar

Always postin' your sneakers you're the one that they follow

I'm a born to be leader such a collection of knowledge

Are we dead or alive unforgettable highs

Know the Lord lookin' down for the day that we rise

Got my pistols all on me n***as might christopher zone me

Black on black issues over principles peep your opponent

Who got the most money well that's yet to be seen

'Cause I'm still counting mine such an incredible thing

In seek of true wealth great example for n***as

You decided yourself I considered it business

We still in the trenches where they made us relentless

Where the reward is little but the hate is tremendous

Some say white eyes are like broke diamonds buried in the snow

But I see things we have seen coming and

It's now that beautiful

So if I cry and these white diamonds push along the shore

It's 'cause I know the s**t you've been through

And you made it beautiful

You made it made it made it made it

You made it beautiful

You made it made it made it

Made it beautiful

Now I'm in the mclaren still racin' them commas

I'm watchin' for karen she watchin' bird watchers

Still I wish her the best ray charles in the flesh

Pavarotti to some quincy jones to the rest

Muddy waters to marble set my city aflame

Turn my back on the mere fact that

They would rattle my cage

I don't wanna argue but I wanted a raise

Got me pinned to the 'cross as the sinners would wave

Such a body of work my debut was a classic

Hov' gave me a verse so that kept it attractive

My whole crew was submerged dea wanted the address

Make her play with her p***y

With a few mill in her mattress

My life needed a balance didn't come for the status

But my mother responsible she raised me so lavish

Look son you're a king were the verse she recited

And it kept me excited till the day I'm indicted
