Out Of Position
Hook: 2x
Nigga in the kitchen
Cooking up a dream
Living outta pocket
Cuz he ripped at the seams
If you know struggle
Then you know what I mean
Out of position
Is a curse to a king

V1:
In his blood he was king
But in life pauper
Can you see the contradicting
Factors
Reality’s movie
No actors
Just a young brother
Tryna see the next chapter

He has a braveheart
But still in the eyes of Mel Gibson
He is nothing more then a nigger
Not the G-A
But the E-R nigger
Hard to explain
But there is a difference
Nigga

Like playing spades
Wit no spades
He dealt those cards
Feeling very distant from God
They say
Go to school
Get a degree
And you can get a good J-O-B

But in his mind
That’s four years of the samething
And after that
There’s still no gurantee

While dude next to him
Changing life in a week
Its seems like the streets
Is the right place to be

What can you say different
Wait for the riches
When he predicted short living
Cuz he don’t fear death
And life a jail sentence
So imma need you
To be more convincing

Hook: 2x
Nigga in the kitchen
Cooking up a dream
Living outta pocket
Cuz he ripped at the seams
If you know struggle
Then you know what I mean
Out of position
Is a curse to a king

V2:
He asked you for help
But all you said is
Make lemonade out of the lemons
Translates to him
Hustle til you get it
Cuz your worth is justified
By your riches

How dare you blame him
All of you fucking hypocrites
You should be ashamed
To call yourself a Christian
You got the power to change
So why you praying
When he turn to the streets
You deserve the blaming

Cuz you could’ve changed
His whole life up
Why do you think God
Let you get your money up
Now you living comfortable
Fuck obligation
And because of that
Another soul falls to satan

Lucifer gives solutions
Not just answers

Damn you could’ve been
That answer
How you think
God gone feel about that
What will he say
When that book of life crack

Hook: 2x
Nigga in the kitchen
Cooking up a dream
Living outta pocket
Cuz he ripped at the seams
If you know struggle
Then you know what I mean
Out of position
Is a curse to a king

V3:
I swear God I know
His point of view
Same shit going on
With this music too
A couple hundred
Or more go to my church
But only 5 support
Every time showing worth
A couple more here and there
A few like to lie
And say they coming
When they don’t
I’m like why lie
Cuz nigga I wont
So Imma keep it 100
Til Im gone

But yet and still
They think to cast the first stone
I’m like fuck yall til
The day I’m fucking gone

Life is fucked up
That’s how I am living
So when I talk about it
Its fucked up
Listen

I don’t care about
Your support anymore
Cuz Imma get mine
A nigga will settle score
Wanted positive
You should’ve supported more
Not just church
Message to the world

Hook: 2x
Nigga in the kitchen
Cooking up a dream
Living outta pocket
Cuz he ripped at the seams
If you know struggle
Then you know what I mean
Out of position
Is a curse to a king
