The Mantra
Unfiltered Streets: Potter Payper's Raw Mantra
Lyrics
I stay on the road all night cah
I spend the night on the road because
You can't rely on no one
You can't depend on anyone
But I've got feds on my block
Law enforcement is present on my block
Non-stop and cats in roads
Continuous police presence and individuals in the streets
So I couldn't give a fuck about no Sho-G
I don't care about a person named Sho-G
Everyday I risk my freedom and miss my Gs dem
Every day, I risk my freedom and miss my close friends
Putting in work like some
Working hard, similar to Indonesians in a sweatshop
Indonesians in the sweatshop
Putting in effort despite the freezing conditions in the abandoned building
Even though the bando's freezing
Enduring freezing conditions even in the summer
Freezing in the summer
Even when alone, things can escalate
Even on my one up, shit can get tun up
Be careful with your words
Mind how you're speaking
Believing only what you see
Seeing is believing
Have you ever witnessed deception?
You ever seen a wolf in a sheepskin?
Have you seen someone deceptive hidden in plain sight?
You ever seen a Scorps with the teeth in?
Have you seen a dangerous person with menacing qualities?
You ever see shade on the fire still beating?
Observing trouble persisting despite challenges
I don't think you have though
Doubting that you have experienced it
I did it on a G ting you know what this is
I accomplished it in a genuine way, you know what this is
Pulling up in foreigns like I'm Mitch
Arriving in expensive cars as if I am Mitch
Fuck the fame, you can keep it
Disregard the fame, you can have it
I ride around and get it
I move around and acquire wealth
If I ain't talking better set him
If I'm not discussing improvements, better avoid him
Real life no edit's
Real-life without alterations
They're just lying for the camera
They are only lying for the camera
Get money, that's the mantra
Earning money is the guiding principle
Free Money, that's the mantra
Obtaining money freely is the guiding principle
My new ting looks like Samantha Mumba
My new partner resembles Samantha Mumba
Thighs like thunder
Impressive physical attributes
Don't talk about riding
Don't discuss engaging in criminal activities
Mi start turn cruncher blacked out
I begin to turn ruthless while remaining discreet
The shards cracked out but
Sharp fragments scattered, but
It smells like ganja
The smell is reminiscent of marijuana
Trap till the sun's up
Engaged in illegal activities until sunrise
Smoke fill my lungs up
Smoke fills my lungs
The mandem say I'm not social
The group of friends says I'm not sociable
I say I'm too old school
I claim to be too traditional
They can't even get a thumbs up
They can't even receive approval
Acting like they've done stuff
Pretending to have experienced significant things
My team's untouched, real G's amongst us
My team remains unaffected, genuine individuals among us
My trappers go ham
My drug dealers go all out
Bare blocks getting hugged up
Many neighborhoods are closely connected with law enforcement
Feds in the cut were getting tugged up
Police are in the area, making arrests
