Down one
I think see the phoenix of a rising sun
Haters say that she's gone hang it up
That she's gone phone it in
That she's gone called it done
But I, I saw her shooting in the gym
Saw her audacity to win
And I can tell the hope she's manifest is
Strapped to her back
It went above the rim
That girl got drive
That girl can push
Down the middle
Focus locked
Release from 10
Swish!
I got 99 problems, your opinion ain't 1
Everybody wanna go, but everybody can't come
Lotta nights sacrificed, records got expunged
Shit I was up too (two), cause I was down one
Eden square I was ducked off
Young fly nigga with the duck sauce
Judge put me on a band list used to Jump the fence and then dust off
One night the sheriff ambushed
When I called bluff he took cuffs off
I chunk the deuce slipped out the noose crunk up the bass then drove off
Like Bitch ain't no looking back (yeah)
I gave you niggas nostalgia then took it back
F*ck around and devour your little raps
Hypnotized as I ride through the city strapped
On the count of 3 bitch I might really snap
You can count on me why cause im really that
Got the crown on me just like a fitted cap
Talking down to me mouth just be running laps
But I do not pay it no mind
That shit don't pay me a dime
Who turned the grapes into wine
Fruits of my labor divine
Food at my table sublime
Roots from the grave that I climb
Grew from what labels assigned
Into what they couldn't define
Beats with the cadence and rhyme
Don't compare me to no conscious rapper
I'm just an honest rapper
Ten years never fronted bout no money
Not the type of pussy niggas running after
But you still a puss wait
I know you rappers gon feel a way
Doing 80 on the interstate
Hit yo baby momma for a dinner plate
Like I need that vegan with the lemonade
Innovative all my niggas paid
By the hour not a minute late
All my queens really running things tryna live a dream but she been awake
Buy the place and then we rent the place
Generate the money circulate
Everything is us nothing safe
Surron
Peace, peace
Peace be still
Two hundred and seventy-three moons
Eternal sunshine reflection of brown hues
Exiting the earth's womb
Mother is the name of God
A love supreme
The devils work facade
Seeds planted in the sweetest of wet fertile soil to birth a king
Rejoice and sing
The gift is the person who births us
A mother's love rooted in the existence of her purpose
Rise up to the fundamental story of Black faith
That sows deep within the sun
A reflection
A mirror
Her face
A mirror
A reflection of him
He sees the reflection of God in her
Raising a wildflower in the cratered concrete surface of poverty
With a history of violent collisions
Involuntarily beautiful visions
Perhaps ever-present deep-seated color of love
Dreams
Fantasies
Ideas with aspirations
Over forty-three hundred alternate religions in search of prosperity
She
We are within her
Our mother
Our wonderwall
Frail bodies and images of broken women crying over their slain sons
Slain bodies
The healing is the necessity of it all
Brown skin
Confront critical conversations to love within
Our mother
Our earth
Our God
Where the color of love begins
