J.R. The Golden Ticket - Ashes (feat. V-I) Lyrics

All of the memories fade away through the ashes
Dedicated to this passion, yeah
Better tell me where the cash is
Peep the war wounds we ain't actin, yeah
Fade away through the ashes, yeah
Know I'm here for a reason yeah I'm feeling so blessed
Too many gone in the dirt, feeling like my life is worse
Release all this pain through the ashes, getting so high that I'm leaving the earth
Been on this journey to open your consciousness
Listen to the words, pass around the herb
Were some connoisseurs preserve the art, working hard to get what we deserve
Stress gonna rise to the surface, focused on stacking my riches
Painting my story like it is a portrait, never back down to these politicians
Police are corrupt, will shoot you in the back even though they know that you are innocent
Got a puppet for a president, ready to kill stuck in this predicament
You speak the truth, yeah they will limit it or silence you to a life of imprisonment
They know our voices are infinite speak to the people like it is my instrument
Curve all the drama like I'm on a pivot. Lyrics are intriquite remaining militant
Feel the bass through every ligament working so hard til the fam is gonna live magnificent
The game is a jungle so I speak my peace always watch my surroundings like deja vu
Too many homies are lost to the streets so I'm ashing my joint when I'm up in the booth
Its about damn time, winning cause I'm independent, never depending on people
Cause they'll use you in a minute
Tryna benefit from energy but yeah we know the method
Listen to real music and this is the message
All of the memories fade away through the ashes
Dedicated to this passion, yeah
Better tell me where the cash is
Peep the war wounds we ain't actin, yeah
Fade away through the ashes, yeah
Know I'm here for a reason yeah I'm feeling so blessed
Be the greatest, 'nother reason for my inspiration
Hoping people feeling inundated when the beat is cold versus insulated
Keep the combination innovative as an artist that can really fake a fee
But when another life is swiftly taken then the elevation can be hard to see
Pain is redefined, every single time, I can't see the lines, justice on recline
They just deem its fine, conscious they deny
Ethics shift for pigment they all seem inclined
To keep feeding lies, hard to be surprised
Shielding interests can't protect the weakest spine
Profit of a culture that they demonize
Tryna take our rights, then just hit rewind
Poison you can never start again, came for the wisdom my art is in
Got a question where theyre heart is in when they're forsaken morals to be partisan
Mindset that I had to guard against, when all those closest to me starting actin out
Memories made got me rapping stout, enlighten people whenever I'm blacking out
Its just a sign of the times, carry more weight with deception
But it was my separation to help me to make the connection
Its just a state of reflection, mirror my thoughts every section
I took the pain, love, the blessings they all encompassed and gave it direction
V-i, yeah
All of the memories fade away through the ashes
Dedicated to this passion, yeah
Better tell me where the cash is
Peep the war wounds we ain't actin, yeah
Fade away through the ashes, yeah
Know I'm here for a reason yeah I'm feeling so blessed
