**Sample Hook**

Priest, Strangelove on the beat
My nigga, lil nigga...

(1st Verse)
And they saying I'm the shit, I defecate on beats
but seeing that I'm pressed to play lowkey
Trying to be a domestic name known up in your Section 8 home
cause niggas you pop in the deck is plain ol' weak
So what you pressing play for, B?
Peace out to niggas that's stressing a J-O-B
For all the companies your resume won't reach
I been there with a tense glare
When the fridge bares, when the bliss wears
and the checks deflate on Priest
Artist starving for the one shot deal, the shit that I wrote
is so you can feel it and witness my growth
To have these niggas opening doors for me
holding the throne for me
put my ass in it and fasten in
The fabric thins of the rap shit and from the cloth cut a classic
mapping the traffic of these niggas in the same lane to be heard
Painstakingly worse at the gridlock
and so I improv through the ten blocks where niggas pitch rocks
Been doing it....

**Sample Hook**

(2nd Verse)
Cause this is the diary of a broke nigga, the whole picture
and true when it's wrote in Pulp Fiction
Fuck the gimmicks, you can spare the nonsense
cause when you kicking life shit
they say it's righteous, likened to spitting Farahkkan shit
and get compared to Com Sense
Nigga, this my shit
Palms clenched stressing the dream
of money we hoping in vain to get
Stuck in this lane and humble up in this jungle
niggas be struggling, when disgruntled, changing the script
They loving the young and upcoming
the troubled and the hunger of the Underground
in the struggle when the trumpets sound
And you hustle where the luck is found
And you're rupturing the structured ground with your sound
Connection is deep
And said the game needs a change
and hope you kept the receipts
I'm second to none, until my day of reckoning comes
Until the final breath in my lungs, the treacherous slums
Remembered it all: A view of it all, like aerial shots
the projects, the liquor stores and burial plots
that Priest remembers...

**Sample Hook**
