The Oath

French Montana

5

Ladies and gentlemen

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant

In a free and open societyAnd we are as a people

Inherently and historically

Opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths

And to secret proceedings

We decided long ago

That the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment

Far outweighed the dangers— (Let′s get to it)

Yeah, kitchen cookin' O′s (Servin')

Thirty-six of those, lil' one, you got it sewn (the whole thing)

Dolla on the beat and niggas gotta zone (zone)

I′m at these niggas necks like a collarbone (gangsta)

I′m ballin' on these fuckers, all net

If it ain′t about a check, I don't stress (tell ′em), nah

I let my money work out, bowflex

Take a sip of water, do some more sets (yay)

You rockin' with the new illuminati, all-black Maserati (that′s right)

Careful how you talk, my young boys' kamikaze (what?)

Started from the block to a hundred Ms

New ghost Rolls and a set of gems (what?)

Shit, nigga, you damn right

Coke Boy, nigga, we airtight (tax)

Pop pills, sip the lean, we gon' take flight (flight)

The fact that I′m doin′ good, they wanna pull me back (back)

Grind like a mule, hard work is what you lack (for sure)

Light a candle, say a prayer for the passed homies

Ain't no longer here (rest in peace)

On the block where the homicides go down (what?)

Fast money never slow down (uh)

Cycles on and on like a merry-go-round (uh)

Few make it out, except for the chosen ones (woo)

You heard many songs, this the unspoken one (shh)

Dedicated

All I ask is a lil′ secrecy

Only the real niggas know what the fuck I'm talkin′ 'bout

To my nigga Chinx Drugz

Oh, yes, this Drugz

Fuck how I get mine, nigga, get yours, haha

CB6 (Coke boy, baby)

For our loved ones

All our fallen soldiers (yeah)

DJ Drama

Pop Smoke, Nipsey Hussle, King Von, Chinx Drugz

Triple X, Juice WRLD, Fred tha God (love you niggas)

Fifteen roaches on my face like I was puffy combs (puffy combs)

Fifteen hitters with me, shootin′ like they Eddie Jones (Eddie Jones)

I was trippin' off my weight, mixin' Percs with tequila

(Percs with tequila)

From a feelin′, now my diamonds dancin′ like triller

We was hustlin' on the block, from the housin′ departments

Stand in middle of the street, like I was Paul McCartney

Me and Chinx racin' foreigns, got Pop on the chorus (Nyoom)

You know legends never die, king like Notorious (never)

I done skipped death twice, here to tell you stories

They done shot me in the head, that′s the price I'm payin′

That new illuminati, all yellow-red Bugatti

Racin' through the back blocks like it's Abu Dhabi

Bumpin′ Maserati Fox in that black Maserati

I sipped lean with Mac Miller, rest in peace, God heal us

Rolled around with Big Pun through the South Bronx slums

Bumpin′ Punisher, tell Allah "Take me, I'm a punisher"

And God told you

If you try to control what′s out of your control, it controls you

Gotta watch they actions, not they captions

Coke Boys, we're livin′ with a passion (with a passion)

A few make it out, except for the chosen ones (chosen ones)

You heard plenty songs, this the unspoken one (Gangsta Grillz)

All I ask this year

Is we stay alive

We stay great

Hip-hop, we need you

I pray to God, all my niggas up there

Y'all lookin′ down on us and you proud of us

You see, legends never die

Legacies are forever

A message to the entire community

We better than this

When will it stop?

I'm tired of losin' my niggas

A dedication, peace signs up

Light a candle, say a prayer

Light a candle, say a prayer

Light a candle, say a prayer

Love you, my niggas

Light a candle, say a prayer (For life)

Light a candle, say a prayer
