Ransom
Dark Waters
[Intro]
I believe, that if a man doesn’t have some philosophies
Some ideals, he’s not a man

[Verse 1]
Everything you see it ain't meant to be
Who would have thought we'd see our women turn into future men-to-be?
Nobody thought we'd see a man that wanna go through a menstrual bleed
You gender free, don't send for me
I'm man enough not to bend a knee, cancel us or just censor me
I'm here to set your mental free, the oldest thrill
What type of man to pick up the phone and film
Watching one of their own get killed?
I know a child that's known to drill
I know a man that's grown and still
Wants to be a rapper that's famous so now he's known as Lil'
I just sent your bones a chill
Ransom, you can't duplicate this or try to clone a skill
Couple swings'll control your will
This ain't how it's meant to be, respectfully
I expect hatred and death threats for me
My destiny, conceptually the best of me
Complexity done so expressively
I'm desperately preaching these scripts aggressively
They put some hex on me
What's coming out of Randy's pen?
Tint the shade on the camera's lens
They tell our women man is not needed
So where's our family then?
We can't be friends, I don't leave prints on mics
I'm like Prince and Mike with Princeton light
Instincts and life'll get you those pins and stripes
A glimpse of light, nobody's out to fall when they bounce a ball
You doubt they score
At least they was shooting and not just mouthing off
You shout divorce
Was not maid of honor but got your flowers tossed
Got rich and the first thing that you did was sell us some alcohol
[Chorus]
Some things are just not meant to be
A war's going on and it's happening mentally
What's meant for you is still meant for me
Won't stop until our men are free
Won't stop 'til our women are loved by men like me
Scholars reaching the 10th degree
Some things are just not meant to be
A war's going on and it's happening mentally
What's meant for you is still meant for me
Won't stop until our men are free
Won't stop 'til our women are loved by men like me
Scholars reaching the 10th degree

[Verse 2]
Dollar greed what it tends to be, it tempted me
I live in y'all heads without any entry fee
The rent's for free, don't mention me, was sent to bleed
A fatherless martyr harbored his strength to breathe
Was meant to lead, but cowardly men will always attempt to leave
No friends to feed, won't bless, n***as
How you broke but got compassion for wealthy depressed n***as?
What's left, n***as?
Pardon me, I'm in tune with the God in me 'cause God is me
And usually a shallow mind bears a scar that's deep
But hard to see, boys that gotta witness their father's fleet
No one is sure your son is four
No need to see your sexual perversions
Leave all the youngins pure
