Baptized

by E 40

Lyrics
I might not be a fireman but I tote a pole
I gotta keep me some heat because it get cold
Not a janitor but I keep a mop
I'm off for a patriot Peter sitting some chops
If you come for me it won't be wise
You will get the element of surprise
Jewelry on my arm and on my neck
Emerald cut diamonds and baguettes
Trending in the trenches I'm the talk

In the liquor stores and barber shops
I'm a trendsetter not the basics
The guy with all the lingo and the phrases
Money motivator not a hater
The way that I carry myself is real player
Piaz they come in all shapes and sizes
If you play stupid games you win stupid prizes

I've been baptized
Soaked in isms
Dipped in game
Pacific Ocean
I've been baptized
Big wheel living
Drip like rain
Having my motion
I've been baptized

Church
What you say, what you say, what you say
Gospel
I've been baptized
Scripture
What you say, what you say, what you say
Hallelujah

Pushing a hard line with the wine
I'll pay for your food if I cut the line

When I was young I didn't have nothing
Me and my siblings and my cousins
Got it out the soil and we bloomed
Now we pay for the smoking fee in the hotel rooms
I'm a rap legend I'm a tycoon
Earl Stevens my handle groomed with the spoon
Right now y'all for fit me and he bait
Let's try to save our people 'fore it's late
I do a lot they say I can do more

I'm only one person can't save the world
Ain't no remorse no more they ain't sorry
They'll open you up in your respiratory
Out here where it's mania and they ain't playing
They line up friends they grew up with from out the sand

I've been baptized
Soaked in isms
Dipped in game
Pacific Ocean
I've been baptized
Big wheel living
Drip like rain
Having my motion
I've been baptized

Church
What you say, what you say, what you say
Gospel
I've been baptized
Scripture
What you say, what you say, what you say
Hallelujah
