Rivers (feat. Azanri Love) Video (MV)

I painted pictures with some painful scriptures
Not the ones you recite to pray them bullets miss you
Or the ones they recite to pray them bullets hit you
Faith is about perspective, dont let that lesson miss you
I prayed to God the other day
And all i saw was myself
If you're really in tune with heaven
You aint got time to judge no one else
Ive slept on corners
And there are times i couldn't eat
But here i am finessing
Aint stressing bout your beliefs
See perfection, aint never been a goal to reach or atleast
Screw perfecting, what it is that people see
Even if i got haters
I'll always be out of reach
Cuz this level is so high
They wont be able to breathe
If they manage to inhale
Theres a sight for them to see
But even in that one moment
They havent seen what i seen
Let us PR?Y

Let the rivers flow
Free my mind and save my soul
Turn my sweetest dreams into reality
Let the rivers flow
Free my mind and save my soul
Let the rivers flow
Flow

They be talking like its God in they reflection
I could careless if they think they reckless
I will leave em without neck for they necklace
I came to this game
Without a brick or chain
Without strippers and jewels
Without cocaine to move
Just a young fool
Thinking he can change the game with a single or two
But tell me what yall going do
I been slowly loading up this ammo since Ether
Seen the world for what it is
Thats why i dont trust preachers
And those who say i got you
Say you got haters
But it's yah homie who shot yah
For aves and blvds
While they signing major papers
In them skyscrapers
I dont wanna to turn a police cruiser into a trap car
I aint impressed by yall trap stars
VIP at the club dont make you a rap star
Thats why you run up a tab
And still aint got bars
We Ready

Let the rivers flow
Free my mind and save my soul
Turn my sweetest dreams into reality
Let the rivers flow
Free my mind and save my soul
Let the rivers flow
Flow

We used to want to be Nas and Hov
Not one or the other
But inter twined and rolled like, like
Rick James Mary Jane
Just to ease all these dollar pains
But they forgot all that
Once them dollars came
Welcome to the game
You dont need to ask about Judah Pr?ys
Yall dont need to know the mystery behind that name
Wasnt a baller
Or a glorified drug dealer
Just a nigga in a cops eyes
Trynna stay top side
Trumps global warming
Thats the reason why they sweating me
IDGAF's recipe
To keep a cool head
Regardless of what they telling me
I careless about your rap music
I careless about who hot now
We stuck in they blocked towns
Failing at justice for those with shot crowns
Fallen kings
Stolen dreams
In pursuit of the cream
Million dollar visions falling victim
To impovished schemes
Because poverty screams
A fate much louder
Than whispers of dreams
Being drowned by the streets where sons die
And our mothers weep streams
Let them rivers flow
Let them rivers flow
So they can never say they didnt know
So baby boy can love his soul
And baby girl can build what they said wouldnt grow
Let them rivers flow
Let them tears replenish the earth
Heavenly lessons from oceans of hurt
Never let their emotions disperse
Where Love is practiced and never rehearsed
Let them rivers flow
Let them rivers flow
Never discuss
What you too ignorant to know
Never measure your growth in silver or gold
Nothing can measures to the price of your soul
