Rick Ross x Diddy – BMF/Angels (Atlantic City)

Their lustful convictions pledge allegiance to the Almighty power and greed
See seeds born withered, parents still children, adolescent to their ways,
Some preachers false prophets, educated pigeon droppers using our sins….to get paid…
…Slaves, give them freedom or give them dope
Take away their leaders ‘cause that gives them hope
Sell them dreams of changing things like they were never kings and queens befo’…
‘As Small As A Giant’ – Big K.R.I.T.
