Every knee shall bow
('Cause I'm tryna tell them, tryna tell them)
(Tryna tell them, tryna tell them, tryna— woah)
Every knee shall bow (Just can't handle it
you see what I'm sayin'?)
(And she can't handle anything goin' wrong
see what I'm sayin'? Titi, know you up high, yeah)

When the curtain comes down and all the smoke clear
Will you still stand strong? Will you fold down, fearin'?
Will you still look tough, huh, if you take away the gear?
Huh, will your name live long? Will it die right here?

Everyday, I try
Everyday, they lie
Everyday, I try (I tried to tell them
tried to tell them, tried to tell them)
Every day's a vow

But they don't really care how it goes on the road, uh
Or goes in the game, huh, huh
Niggas out of guard, huh, trapped in the pain
Everything real when the hood hit the booth and explain
The money that you made, fast cars with beef on the mains
The hood love a storyline, you turn to a character, the main
Protagonist, you're havin' it
the whole of the borough know your name, huh
Your gang lit the sandpit, you still
with them niggas from the day
The rap shit that got big
you still got some money out the way
More funds, more guns, in your eyes, everything is great
In the video with the members posted up where it ain't safe
Everybody say they got you 4L, you just gotta say it

If I translate it, it means, "I got you, as long as you pay"
If I translate it, "If I go to jail, make sure you pay"
If I translate it, "If I die, just pay for the grave"
If I translate it, "Just pay for my life
I'll keep you safe"

If we do a crime, will you say my name? (Woah)
Fast-foward, you did a crime and he pointed the blame
Shit got risky, you flew out of state
and you tried to change, yeah, yeah, huh
Flew out the way to the sun
'cause you couldn't stand in the rain, yeah, yeah
Losing focus, hocus pocus, bad boy, now you're bogus
Wanna say R. I. P. 's and free's in your song
but you niggas ain't spoken
Wanna get back to the music
but it's not happenin', you got no emotion
Can't go back to the hood
you finessed everyone, all the friendship's broken
Can't say we had bread gone
can't tell your lady you love and adore
Still got a watch or two and a car and rent
so it's good for the show
Financial secret, but trust me, man, the government knows
Livin' in lust over love, baby mom come after the hoes

Everyday, you try
To pray to God, but you got no hope
Everyday, you try
Gettin' it back, but you lost your soul

When the curtain comes down and all the smoke clear
Will you still stand strong? Will you fold down, fearin'?
Will you still look tough, huh, if you take away the gear?
Huh, will your name live long? Will it die right here?

Everyday, I try (I'm tryna tell 'em how it goes
I'm tryna tell 'em how it goes)
Everyday, they lie (It's all just a lie on the low)
Everyday, I try (I tried to tell them how it go)
Every day's a vow (And they don't get it
they don't get it, they don't get it)

Every knee shall bow (When the curtain
comes down and all the smoke clear)
(Will you still be here?)
Every knee shall bow
