The Pledge lyrics

[Intro]
{*New message*}
Ay, wassup man
I'm calling to let you know, bro
That, uh, I don't know how long it's gon' be man
But, uh, ya boy wants to do jail time
But you know, going around Shakers, we ain't kids no more
Still doing the same sh*t
March 30th is when I turn myself in and go to jail, man
Till then, keep making them hits, n*gga fo' real
You my best friend, my n*gga, you saved me too, in college n*gga now, fo' real
Throw your hands up, my n*gga, the industry 'bout to gain one of the best, ya know
They can't do it on their own
Aight, I'm going

[Verse 1]
It’s just the, trials and tribulations
This world is f*cking crazy
When I’m screaming “free my man!”, the crowd’s screaming “congratulations!”
Cause we came from couches, to family houses, to corporations
And I know these streets are a dead end, but these streets embraced me
People I f*ck with call me 'Kells', that’s what the streets named me
f*ck where you think I’m from or how I live, the streets raised me
And f*ck the world for hitting my girl with that stray
And letting tears roll down my face onto her casket at the wake then
And I'm thankful for living this long, cause a lot of us don't make it
R-I-P to homie Rock who got shot after graduation
And Jo Jo was an animal, I guess that’s why they caged him
Caught in a vicious cycle of life as a young teenager
My history class is bullsh*t, they feed us false information
f*ck the founding fathers, millions died over Benjamin Franklin
My brother fought in Iraq, but it might as well of been prison
Cause he’s home but his sanity ain't come with him
f*ck the world, screaming -
[Hook]
I pledge allegiance, to the streets
Hold me down, keep it G
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
That’s why I'm still standing in my Chuck T’s
My Chuck T's, In my Chuck T's
I’m standing strong, in my chuck T’s
I pledge allegiance, to the fans
To be the realest muthaf*cker that I can
That I can, that I can
Remain the realest muthaf*cker, that I can
Yeah, so when they lay me down to sleep
The last of a dying breed
R-I-P

[Verse 2]
Jesus died for me, government lied to me
These people say they loyal, I just hope they ride for me
And if I die before I wake then cry for me
And keep my muthaf*ckin name alive for me
Look, I done seen some things that I would never tell my daughter
And did some sh*t that I'm ashamed of to get her what I got her
I know the Devil’s hot, but I got something hotter
And they ain't from Jamaica, but my boys are f*cking Shottas
We never start no fights, but we'll go to war
EST tatted on us, that’s something we'll die for
These faggots had sh*t handed to them, but we earned it
Roll a J, yell out my window "Lace The f*ck Up!" then I burn it
Turned into the opposite of what they thought I would, skipping classes
Voice of a revolution of troubled youth, kiss our asses
And if government conspiracy's a lie
Then why the dollar got the all seeing eye?
f*ck this world, screaming -
[Hook]
I pledge allegiance, to the streets
Hold me down, keep it G
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
That’s why I'm still standing in my Chuck T’s
My Chuck T's, In my Chuck T's
I’m standing strong, in my chuck T’s
I pledge allegiance, to the fans
To be the realest muthaf*cker that I can
That I can, that I can
Remain the realest muthaf*cker, that I can
Yeah, so when they lay me down to sleep
The last of a dying breed
R-I-P
