Rejoice - Markis Precise, Murs

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Just give me my respect, give me my respect

Been a boss since I’ve been a boss

Paid dues, dues paid bro at any cost

Tossing in the towel, never thought of that

Had to watch all my dreams die, then I brought 'em back

Resurrected, too connected to be disrespected

My enemies so insecure that they’re ineffective

Collecting checks after the show’s done

Never flashing pistols, still consider me a shogun

I’m all war, West LA 'til they box me up

Or 'til them crooked ASS cops come and lock me up

A free man using free speech

Until they free Mumia and they free Meech

To each his own, and I got mine

First six figures that I saw, I was not signed

Undermined, underground, I was underrated

But if I listened to them, I would have never made it

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Just give me my respect, give me my respect

You gotta get down for you to get up

Eyes on the prize and keep your chin up

Look at how the Hot Boys split up

The ones we start with don’t always finish with us

It’s every man for himself

But I wouldn’t be SHIT if the fans didn’t help

Humble, level-headed and I’m down to earth

Never dealing with devils, I know what I’m worth

Ashes to ashes, and dirt to dirt

Down to die for the craft because I put in work

From the ground up, that’s how I built this

Put the murder to the music and I kill SHIT

One car ride from a homicide

Should have shot off all six but I let them slide

Wrote a song, killed them all in the same night

And it’s a trip that one track changed my whole life

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Just give me my respect, give me my respect

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect

To the depths, I’ve been to the depths

From my last breath to the last check

I do it for the cause, never the effect

Just give me my respect, give me my respect
