Lil Keek - Pawn Shop Prophet Lyrics

[Intro]
Pawned my soul at the counter today
Trading memories for a stack of change
Rest in peace to my brother, I had to let it fade
But these bills keep coming, got me feeling strange

[Verse 1]
Studio equipment gathering dust in the basement
His spirit lingers on them keys, but I'm facing eviction
Grandma taught me bout the Lord, now I'm making decisions
That got me feeling hollow, but shit, I'm tryna listen
Mama keep calling, talking bout the rent due
I'm staring at his MPC, what the f*ck I'm supposed to do?
Each beat we made together, now got a price tag
Heaven help me cause these choices got my mind bad

[Chorus]
Pawn shop prophet, selling dreams for dollars
Memories in boxes, hear my mama holler
Trade it all away, just to see tomorrow
Spirit for sale, yeah, this pain I swallow

[Verse 2]
Cold transaction, watching pieces of us die
Each cable, each mic, got me wanting to cry
Streets taught me survival ain't about being right
But selling his legacy got me sleepless at night
Remember late sessions, smoking, making hits
Now I'm counting pennies, trying not to lose my shit
They say keep the faith, but faith don't pay these bills
Trading sacred moments for some quick dollar bills

[Outro]
Lord forgive me for what I had to do
Rest easy brother, I'll make it back to you
When the struggle's over, I'ma buy it all back
Till then your spirit haunts me through this feedback track
