Ishmael

Ishmael was the first son of Abraham, the common patriarch of the Abrahamic religions, and is considered as a prophet in Islam. His mother was Egyptian Hagar (Genesis 16:3). According to the Genesis account, he died at the age of 137 (Genesis 25:17). Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions consider Ishmael to be the ancestor of the Ishmaelites (Hagarenes or Arabians) and patriarch of Qaydār. According to Muslim tradition, in which he is regarded as an ancestor of Muhammad, Ishmael thereby founded a great nation as promised by God in the Old Testament, and was buried with his mother Hagar (Hājar) next to the Kaaba in Mecca, under the area demarcated by the semi-circular Hijr Ismail wall. more »

Aye, I gotta story to tell
I told myself years ago that I won't fail
But I gotta watch for those
That'll scam you with a phish mail
The dreamer
Been trying pop off like a fake nail
Uh, I want wish wells
Even when I take L's
Keep my money strapped tight
Like a hay bail
You can't tell that I'm broke
Cause I dress well
I'm not going into debt to impress 'em
I remember I wanted to fit in
But they made me feel less than
That's why I just left them
Achieving in this rap shit
I feel like I'm destined
That's prolly why they shook and feel threatened
Cause I put effort into shit
While they slept in
Damn
Remember recording
Five deep in the cold room?
Now this studio is lonely
And I don't know you
Anymore
Piss poor attitudes
Making it is not a maybe
It's an absolute
I got them showing love
And I feel the gratitude
Applause at the shows
Only grows as I continue
To put it down at every venue
What I been through might offend you
Cause with every mishap
I re-up'd and hit back
Yeah, harder than hard
On some Lil Baby shit
It's my turn to burn up
And keep it wavy like a perm does
Uh

I can't afford to go back to my old ways
I was too anxious
To make a move in those days
On the real, on the real
I keep it 1K for you always
Yeah
Been down since Forest Hills dropped
Now I'm plotting on collecting bills
Til the wheels pop
Need about a mil to get us outta here, brah
Bitches come and go
Oh that's how they live, huh?

I'm tryna be the head honcho
And stack dough
That's a cake boss
Boi you look goofy as hell
With your fake floss
Too many wannabes Aubreys
Nowadays having a Drake off
While I'm creating my own lane
Where I can take off
And strip the dummies for they're grip
Investing in myself
So I don't live with debt like Kate Moss
Nah I ain't no g
I'm more poetry
Speaking my mind on beats
I feel like they want blackball me
Why?
I came from ghettos
But I didn't let those
Environments overshadow
Who I am
And what I does
I'm Shel Silverstein
The way I'm falling up

I can't afford to go back to my old ways
I was too anxious
To make a move in those days
On the real, on the real
I keep it 1K for you always
Yeah
Been down since Forest Hills dropped
Now I'm plotting on collecting bills
Til the wheels pop
Need about a mil to get us outta here, brah
Bitches come and go
Oh that's how they live, huh?
