Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Jesus piece

But don't nobody wanna know Jesus' peace, no

Niggas use me to shine

I been helpin you stunt

Look why these rapping dudes ain't hit me in months

I don't ask for too much

Covered in VVS's

Women gon play ya closer

And them hungry jokers gon try test ya

Now they bumping your record

Ya confidence through the roof

Still ya show no respect kid

The good book said pray

But you so stuck in your ways

You got my image appraised

Why you sinning out waiting

Fornicating with women I sat right there on your table

Don't bow your head for grace

Though I'm keeping you graceful

Brothers was born to cheat

Though I question who faithful

Fast for me nope

Blasphemy though

Rap to it so racks up

To match up with me froze

How can a diamond supersede my wisdom

I seen a reverend with five of me as he read his scripture

This is bible readings to people with malice intentions

You silly get wits seen ahki with crucifix pendent

With a Cuban attached

On a secular scene

I died for you all

Now niggas die over me

Jesus piece Jesus piece Jesus piece

But don't nobody want know Jesus peace

Jesus piece Jesus piece Jesus piece

But don't nobody want know Jesus peace

Sierra Leone diamonds

LA to New York got em'?

If nobody stores have me

Some probably would know about me

All over paparazzi

Shout out to Murakami

See they commercialize me

I'm sure there will be more robberies

Work

New chain swag get you crew laid fast

Or laid down or not a ticket next to dad

And the bible told you wait on my arrival

But patience was your problem

So get Jacob to come find me

And religion is a style if not

Then why this shit a quarter mil

No fugazi see Jacob tell you that ish real

Hallelujah the things you do to be the manure

You never thank me at shows but you keep me on tour

Sunday services pastor is the wealthy ones working it

Preaching Armageddon while collection plates been circling the room

Fears but a tool

And Gospel gone commercial pray the purpose isn't cruel

And the workers in the pulpit want they blessings to improve

And they stone me on the cross and niggas stone me for the ooh's

And the ahh's foolish

What am I who are ya

I'm coming down from the sky cause niggas keep praying to shine

Look

Amen

For the price of fame

What would you do to have em' say your name

See I promise I would never cop another chain but the arms spent on these VS

Got me in that complex page

For the price of fame

When that Bugatti drop my accountant stop me for a second and said not today not today

For the price of fame

For the price of fame

What would you do to have em' say your name

It is such a shame
