Stro P.S.A. Calm Down (feat. Elbee Thrie)
[Intro: Stro]
All my people just vibe to this, just vibe to this, yeah
[Verse 1: Stro]
Now if you saw what I saw, then you would calm down (Calm down)
Where I'm from ain't calm, they bust rounds
Label me role model, your kids like my sound
But that youngin ain't affected, he lockin' them all down
Where I come from, it's young niggas that go through it
Outsiders lose it, they steady blamin' the music, uh
My people product, yeah, they pushin' product, uh
They go to jail, business as usual
He got beef, he Crip, he threw a Blood up
White man throw you in jail like, "Nigga, shut up," uh
We got the sets, the proper teens
We run the block but got no properties
And homie, we could all die tomorrow
Then why you wanna still stay and feel like mollow? Uh
We hatin' them, why? They hate themselves
E'rybody just do you, maybe that'll help
If you knew what I knew, then you would come down (What you know?)
I know enough to know I know nothin' (What you know?)
I know enough to know government bluffin'
Real shot callin' like a group of a hunnid (Like a hunnid?)
And when you see 'em, they got infinite per diem
If you question, they delete 'em
Gave you bibles, you believed 'em
Can't defeat 'em 'cause you need 'em with yo B and how you treat 'em
Death is nothin' to fear, that might be the only freedom, ah!
[Chorus: Elbee Thrie]
If you saw what I saw then you would calm down (What you see?)
'Cause you would know it really ain't that serious
I see the same stuff when I come around (What you see?)
All around the world, same shit, different town, huh?
Now y'all people need to calm it down, East side, West side
Need to calm it down
South side, North side, need to calm it down
Everybody everywhere need to calm it down
[Verse 2: Stro]
Now if you heard what I heard, then you would calm down (What you heard?)
I heard the black man is the root, man
I ain't surprised when the popo shoot, man (Shoot, man)
That's how ya act when ya scared of the truth, man (Truth, man)
Man, I had a vision I was seein' it
Spent my whole life prophesizin', now I'm bein' it
Gotta keep knowledge itself or go crazy (Go crazy)
'Cause I communicate with Lord on the daily (On the daily)
And you wonder why these devils can't fade me (Uh)
I do it to perfection
I don't compete with rappers, I compete with reflection
What they do, I ain't checkin'
Takin' shots on they records, I ain't even affected
I used to rap for the money and the broads
Now I speak to teach each youngin that they be Gods
See, I don't make music, I make frequencies
Frequently, meetin' people who believe in me
Don't stress on who tweetin' me
If you feel what I feel, then you would calm down (How you feel?)
I'm feelin' like a muhfuckin' hypocrite (How you feel?)
I'm feelin' like we all muhfuckin' hypocrites
Ask God for life and we ain't even livin' it (That's a fact)
Them apps stagard, your internet killin' characters
People edit they avi instead of breakin' them barriers
Need to lead of the rally, sharp minds the carriers
I'm talkin' sharp, sharp, sharper than gladiators-ors-ors
[Chorus: Elbee Thrie]
If you saw what I saw then you would calm down (What you see?)
'Cause you would know it really ain't that serious
I peep the same stuff when I come around (What you see?)
All around the world, same shit, different town, huh?
Now y'all people need to calm it down, East side, West side
Need to calm it down
South side, North side, need to calm it down
Everybody everywhere need to calm it down
If you saw what I saw then you would calm down
'Cause you would know it really ain't that serious
I peep the same stuff when I come around
All around the world, same shit, different town, huh?
Now y'all people need to calm it down, East side, West side
Need to calm it down
South side, North side, need to calm it down
Everybody everywhere need to calm it down
[Outro]
Thrie!
