Expose the game, treat it like a bitch
Ballin' like he struck the lotto, you know who the cleanest is
We ain't workin' out 'til we exorcise the demons that's inside us
(We wanna live it up, please deliver us)
'Keep it honest', our motto, these niggas keep it bottled
It's like a gang, it's like a club or a set
In these trying days and times
It's officially nigga season, these niggas is bleedin'
(Just keep it real with us, you scared to spill your blood)
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Lord, can You deliver me?
Synonymous with the apocalypse, look up the clouds is ominous
Hip hop's the new WWF
(T-t-this is the, t-t-this is the, this is the hostile gospel)
You can't always just borrow and asks for favors, bruh
You never know, they might've added in secret ingredients
And not take the hand of every man who make an offer
Deliver us, deliver
Deliver
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Deliver us
Deliver
(We wanna live it up, please deliver us)

(I'm reaching through the fire, please deliver us)
I can't do it on my own
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Karma's a bitch so watch your mouth and what you sayin', bruh
There are trials still to come
That's why I'm spittin' freedom, we had enough of trigger squeezin'
Deliver
(What the people want? Please deliver us)
A nigga keep it rich with the stitch and Greedy Geniuses
So they resort to the shortcuts
There ain't no love and no respect
(I'm preaching to the choir, please deliver us)
I'm the writer who reach the fighters like speeches by Cus D'Amato
Deliver us, deliver
(Your words rung hollow, we need someone to follow)
Deliver us
We got til it's gone, you think you on, you still hustlin' backwards
Am I a victim or just a product of indoctrination?
An entertainer or the author of the last chapter
It's all backwards, it's identity crisis
Hip hop is not a nation, take it to population
(What the people want? Please deliver us)
You hear the congregation, this is the hostile gospel
Back to the topic we on, it all started at Rawkus
(Deliver us)
Deliver
What do you rap or do you wrestle? Niggas love to forget
(T-t-this is the, t-t-this is the, this is the hostile gospel)
Deliver us, deliver
And what the people want? Please deliver us
They couldn't find the words to describe me
Freedom's a road that's seldom traveled, watch hell unravel
Stand on your own two, never covet thy neighbor's stuff
(Deli-i-i, deliver us)
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Smack fire out these hoes, 'cause they snitch and tap
Cakin' makin' narcotics outta household products
DJ's stickin' to vinyl like fuck Serato
To black kids wishin' they white kids when they close they eyelids
Awaitin' trial, debatin' how the hell I got placed in this system?
And what the people need? Hey, I got that, yeah
(I'm reaching through the fire, please deliver us)
You ain't promised tomorrow, so get your paper up
(I'm reaching through the fire, please deliver us)
Deliver
Deli-i-i, deliver us
'Cause they club you to death
Plus they seem to just provide us with enough rope to hang ourselves
The single mother who raised her daughter to bear the sacred water
We living in these times of love and cholera
Drug suppliers is the health care providers
And what the people say? We wanna live it up
(Just keep it real with us, you scared to spill your blood)
Wires while I plead the fifth, can't trust a soul in the biz
Deliver us
I start a conversation based on general observation
All I need is to be free
Lord, can You deliver me?
The industry inside us is vipers with fangs trying to bite us
Be careful who you eatin' with and sleepin' with
Songwriters: Larissa Conner, Paul Greedus, Talib Kweli Greene, Didier Marouani, Justin Smith
Like, "I bet they neighborhood ain't like this"
Deli-i-i, deliver us
(Your words rung hollow, we need someone to follow)
Is he a backpacker? Is he a mad rapper?
I could call em' Navy SEALs
Enough dope to slang ourselves, enough toast to bang ourselves
Your topical norm a tropical storm, it's a fuckin' disaster
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Niggas got a lot to say when locked inside the belly of Satan
Deliver
Suppliers who ride around the block in the custom models
White kids wishin' they black kids, and wanna talk like rappers
(Your words rung hollow, we need someone to follow)
So I'm reaching to the sky
(Just keep it real with us, you scared to spill your blood)
Deliver us
(I'm preaching to the choir, please deliver us)
They drugged up, they fucked up, they in debt
What become of the vets?
(I'm preaching to the choir, please deliver us)
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Right before the eyes of the soldier who fell in battle
(T-t-this is the, t-t-this is the, this is the hostile gospel)
I'm not a hipster, but I flip it like a sneaker pimp
It's salvation that I need
(People wanna live it up, please deliver us)
(We wanna live it up, please deliver us)
The truth is hard to swallow, it'll leave you scarred tomorrow
They exploit it and use me like a movie with product placement
(Deliver)
'Cause they government feds
Deliver us
We still waitin' for the Congress to acknowledge this
We got maybe ten years left say meteorologists, shit
And also who you chiefin' with
Deli-i-i, deliver us
Deliver us
I call these rappers Baby Seals
