Be Willing ft. King Phil & Smith the Poet

lyrics

Be willing to forgive
All that wasn't done to you
If we're lynched for every sin
Never change our attitudes
Be willing to indulge
All that you've never asked
If our truths we can't divulge
Never take ourselves to task

If a body's what you want, here is bone, gristle, flesh
Purify of my hobby, vying freedom from your desk
Who needs who to cash a check? Keyed up, short of breath
Get support from the tech, pleading words to leave my neck
See the dirt? They're growing debt, placings bets on our payments
Would you still be alive if people only said what they meant?
Question when we stained it, question when we stayed in
Slave away to spend more your labor in the Caymans
Worshipping the famous debaters, given figurines
Frame you as a rapist to bait you, as you scream
Learned our ethics from the sadists, journaling our dreams
We can copy it and paste it, we can react and retweet
We got GameShark for Instagram, dating apps for kids
This shit inflate our egos while we desecrate our ids
We only dig you at the surface, judged for what you did
Spill a cup of your potential with a bullet in your lid

Be willing to forgive
All that wasn't done to you
If we're lynched for every sin
Never change our attitudes
Be willing to indulge
All that you've never asked
If our truths we can't divulge
Never take ourselves to task

I'm past the doorsteps, getting my foot in the door
Represents the blind threats, borderline perfectionist
Meaning I'm timeless, your common sense looks next to my idleness
I send no shots, best believe that I don't miss
Not being the GOAT is where these rappers get pissed
But my readiness and willingness comes fully equipped
But my time is my time, so watch me eclipse
Variety trips with dominant grip
Rap like I'm mad at God, like I live with a chip
On the shoulder, I'm the shit, so bashful the older they live
Full exposure, I whoop their ass free of charge
Then strike like a cobra, I live in the stars
Handing out life sentences, that was a bar
Me? I raise it from my phrases, outdated like belated birthdays
On worst days my guns blaze, look both ways before you cross me
Karma coming back soon, and I'm living largely

Be willing to forgive
All that wasn't done to you
If we're lynched for every sin
Never change our attitudes
Be willing to indulge
All that you've never asked
If our truths we can't divulge
Never take ourselves to task

We the slumlord slipping, drug like dead digits
Dug the own difference, a phase from addiction
Dazed without interest, no pay, I'm pissed
'Cause I'm beige, with hours to make
Sense of the glaze, you bend when you're brave enough
To run amok, without a fuck, I'll name the dunce
Delay the fun, y'all hate the love, the crave in the cut
I stay 'cause I trust, no one I'm above
Your days are buzzed, in rain a rust
I'll keep in touch with Mary and Mud
Let's bury the suds, 'cause Larry was much
Like inhaling the rush, we don't care to discuss
The ladder you love
Will scatter and crush, what matters to us?
Imagine it, bruh!
Smith!

Be willing to forgive
All that wasn't done to you
If we're lynched for every sin
Never change our attitudes
Be willing to indulge
All that you've never asked
If our truths we can't divulge
Never take ourselves to task
Be willing to forgive
All that wasn't done to you
If we're lynched for every sin
Never change our attitudes
Be willing to indulge
All that you've never asked
If our truths we can't divulge
Never take ourselves to task
