Priority
Top priority:
Peace before everything, God before anything.
Love before anything, real before everything.
Home before anyplace, shoot before anything.
Style and state radiate. Love power. Slay the hate.
Truth killer; flakey face. Players say it to they face.
Ain't afraid to major straight, race at the table straight.
Flow greatest like the greatest lakes. Capes all greatest states.
Quiet water, major waves. Steer the course. Make a way.
And come ashore on a greater day. Home grown from the greatest grain.
Full flavor in the native strain, now put that on your brainy brain.
Full exposure to the favorite slang, minimal wage, and major gangs.
Y'all seen them play the bait.
Later night from day to day they came to play.
You came to stay. Get out the way, Biotch!
Sunspot, heat rocks. Brooklyn's finest, preservation to the beat-box.
Friend or foe; Poison or detox. When we rock, the people-a respond priority.
Peace before everything, God before anything.
Love before anything, real before everything.
Home before anyplace, shoot before anything.
Style and state radiate. Love power. Slay the hate.
Priority.
