Roc Marciano – Mars lyrics

Though I walk through the Valley of Death
I never got lost or took cowardice steps
I move honorably, gained a lot of respect
Short of poverty but wouldn’t trade God for success
In fact maybe I’m too advanced for crack babies
My impact is similar to Basquiat paintings
Visually fascinating, reality rap not the fabricated
We’ll have you anxious to sell weight
My friends are patient like architects building cases
The foundation is information I give in my
lyrics ain’t easily assimilated, my pen is crazy
I went from livin’ on the edge, to the realm of greatness
Who’s wildered to exist if this is continuation
of skill revealed in music we originated
Then places full of [???] melanated
Descendants of slaves who found ways to elevate it

Gray’s anatomy, amazed at duality
I inhaled to propel to [?]
Rap reality, trap an actor [?]
Choose carefully, use vernacular accurately
None after me, number four’s factually
I’m the core conquistador of the faculty
Bastard seed black [?]
Prestigious since his thesis from the master’s league
Master’s weed, placed on a mantle with a Jack Daniels
[?] handle
Tap the sample of proof, cop and bounce
Never announce financial losses, stop the count
Lost but found was both in the same breath
The souls remains fresh, every dose came correct
To gain respect, hoodie on for the goons
So fuck the fake cop that shot little Trayvon

I rep my city hard, I live for it
I’m like a shotgun blast when I’m recordin'
I bring down the house like Steve Martin
You can smell weed when your boy Tree bought it
[?]
Tracks like dirty laundry, I air it out
Redman like a movie, I’m Paramount
That’s why they imitating me, like [?]
Boy, in the club I get [?]
[?] general, nigga don’t butt in
Circle around the block, tell ‘em I’m coming
It’s no VIP, I’m in like Bruh Man
But I kick back and roll [?] up, yes
And write an ill flow when it serves up, yes
I stay grindin’ when the thirst’s up
Hip-hop my bitch, watch how I work her!

Short nights make the days longer
And your problems start to weigh on ya
Gotta pray when they prey on ya
Feel kinda funny when the four pounds stays on ya
You think it’s much better to hustle for European luxury, American muscle
It’s bricks or bread in the duffle are too long gone
Beware of the leather to touch you
Thinkin’ is it better to crush you or just walk away
Looking at your neck, put the hawk away
The pain of remain, the rain to wash the chalk away
My problems way [?] walk away
Swimmin’ in the waters with the great white
On a highway but you don’t see my brake light
Seven days in a week, I’m on the 8th night
On the dark side but I ain’t bring a safe light
