Lyrics of 'Tranquility' by Isaiah Rashad

Well, thank God for the shooter, hmm
And thank God for the leader, hmm
And think hard for a message
Blink art on pedestrians; what are you, a believer?
We're tranquil for a Brutus, hey
And hard road for a Caesar, hey
Well, who came from the heavens?
They kill for a blessin', they gon' do it to Jesus, hm
And thank God for the shooters

Them hard streets make a militant man
Fuck a bitch, be as real as you can
Our education, they tend to say we killers again
But I'd rather give this living a chance, I'm getting patience
I wonder if the world is gon' see us as just niggas
They treat lyrics like I hold triggers like I make difference
Then downplay what I'm given, like I'm no different
It make me wanna move to my aunt's house
I've been on pills since a little one
Start with Advil then we level up
I wonder if my son gon' trust me, after songs so ugly
Bout his moms, ain't mean to see the world so crummy
They got... Tec-9's for Jesus
So I figured that the second coming wasn't never coming
Go figure heaven is a hassle 'cause
They don't even want a nigga back in Africa

Well, thank God for the shooter, hmm
And thank God for the leader, hmm
And think hard for a message
Blink art on pedestrians; what are you, a believer?
We're tranquil for a Brutus, hey
And hard road for a Caesar, hey
Well, who came from the heavens?
They kill for a blessin', they gon' do it to Jesus, hm
And thank God for the shooters
Well, thank God for the shooter, hmm
And thank God for the leader, hmm
And think hard for a message
Blink art on pedestrians; what are you, a believer?
We're tranquil for a Brutus, hey
And hard road for a Caesar, hey
Well, who came from the heavens?
They kill for a blessin', they gon' do it to Jesus, hm
And thank God for the shooters

And some of us fall and some of us hover
And some of us shooters and some of us lovers
I see the sum of it all, I'm running for cover
Invite you for supper, but really they hunt you
What's really 300, who's really a gangster
Who's really the prey? Who's really in danger?
I'm willing to pray, I'm feeling the angels
Is liquor the savior? This moment will contain us
And ride to the far side, I'm looking for peace
Just spread the cigar wide, a moment of ease
Hard benches for my brothers that be roaming the streets
We don't always be the leaders that they want us to be
I'm just hoping that she praying while she down on her knees
See I often treat these hoes like their fathers would be
Good Lord, my flaws, blind you, got you time for, my flaws

Well, thank God for the shooter, hmm
And thank God for the leader, hmm
And think hard for a message
Blink art on pedestrians; what are you, a believer?
We're tranquil for a Brutus, hey
And hard road for a Caesar, hey
Well, who came from the heavens?
They kill for a blessin', they gon' do it to Jesus, hm
And thank God for the shooters
