The Pledge lyrics

[Intro: Jo Jo]
New message
Ayy, what's up, man?
I'm calling to let you know, bro
That, uh, I don't know how long it's gon' be, man
But, uh, ya boy 'bout to do jail time
But you know how we've been doing dumb decisions, man
We ain't kids no more still doing the same sh*t
On March 30th is when I turn myself in and go to jail, man
'Til then, keep making them banging ass hits, n*gga, fo' real
You my best friend, my n*gga, you saved me too, in college n*gga, now, fo' real
Throw yo' hands up, my n*gga, the industry 'bout to gain one of the best, ya know
They can't do it on their own, a'ight, I'm going

[Verse 1]
It's just the trials and tribulations
This world is f*cking crazy
When I'm screaming "Free my man", the crowd's screaming "Congratulations"
'Cause we came from couches, to family houses, to corporations
And I know these streets are a dead end, but these streets embraced me
People I f*ck with call me Kells, that's what the streets named me
f*ck where you think I'm from or how I live, the streets raised me
And f*ck the world for hittin' my girl with that stray
And letting tears roll down my face onto her casket at the wake then
And I'm thankful for living this long, 'cause a lot of us don't make it
RIP to homie Rock who got shot after graduation
And Jo Jo was an animal, I guess that's why they caged him
Caught in a vicious cycle of life as a young teenager
My history class is bullsh*t, they feed us false information
f*ck the founding fathers, millions died over Benjamin Franklin
My brother fought in Iraq, but it might as well have been prison
'Cause he home, but his sanity ain't come with him
f*ck the world screaming
[Chorus]
I pledge allegiance to the streets
Hold me down, keep it G
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
That's why I'm still standing in my Chuck Ts
My Chuck Ts, In my Chuck Ts
I'm standing strong in my chuck Ts
I pledge allegiance to the fans
To be the realest motherf*cker that I can
That I can, that I can
Remain the realest motherf*cker that I can (Yeah)
So when they lay me down to sleep
The last of a dying breed, R-I-P

[Verse 2]
Jesus died for me, government lied to me
These people say they loyal, I just hope they ride for me (Come on)
And if I die before I wake, then cry for me (Yeah)
And keep my motherf*ckin' name alive for me (Kells)
Look, I done seen some things that I would never tell my daughter (No)
And did some sh*t I'm ashamed of to get her what I got her
I know the Devil's hot, but I got something hotter
And they ain't from Jamaica, but my boys are f*ckin' Shottas (Ayy)
We never start no fights, but we'll go to war
EST tatted on us, that's something we'll die for
These faggots had sh*t handed to 'em, but we earned it
Roll a J, yell out my window "Lace The f*ck Up!", then I burn it
Turned into the opposite of what they thought I was, skipping classes (What?)
Voice of a revolution of troubled youth (What?), kiss our asses
And if government conspiracy's a lie
Then why the dollar got the all-seeing eye?
f*ck this world screaming
[Chorus]
I pledge allegiance to the streets
Hold me down, keep it G
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
That's why I'm still standing in my Chuck Ts
My Chuck Ts, In my Chuck Ts
I'm standing strong in my chuck Ts
I pledge allegiance to the fans
To be the realest motherf*cker that I can
That I can, that I can
Remain the realest motherf*cker that I can (Yeah)
So when they lay me down to sleep
The last of a dying breed, R-I-P
