You know
It's crazy that
All the things that I ever went through
I'm talking bout relocating from a hurricane
Two house fires
Escaped death several times
Gang violence
You know what I'm saying, just everything that I experienced
And I don't know many people who experienced the things that I have
But when I started looking at life differently they wanted to judge me
But you can't judge me till you been what I been through
You heard me?
Like, that just don't make no sense to me
But you know (This what they want? This what the f*ck they gone get!)
It's all good though
I learned a lot and I learned who was f*cking with me and who wasn't
All my life people wanted to put me in a box
I'm Black, I'm Christian, one who father got locked
But I don't want to be a label because I'm more than that (Yeah)
I'm a lot of things what I'm fina say you gotta come out the bubble wrap (Y'all so sensitive)
When I rap up on this mic
I can't worry bout feelings
I'd rather break yo heart and have yo mind open to listening (Are you listening?)
When you see me don't see Jesus (Nah)
Want you to see a man who had trauma but didn't choose to be defeated (Never)
I could've lashed out (Yeah)
But story better when you don't see the direction the wind blowing (What's gone happen?)
In swift like sweeping the trauma doing the mop dance (Mop, mop, mop)
But the broom down its time to pick up handle this shit (Let's get to cleaning)
I won't be quiet for another nigga ever again (Nah)
You can't respect my mind we can't be family nor friends
But it's all good (Yeah)
I promise you gone miss me (I swear)
I'm living my life to the fullest
No spaces nor boundaries (Aye)
I don't know what the future hold (Nah)
When I die want you to know I had a heart of gold (Yeah)
Not looking for anything from my positive roles (Nah)
Hope it inspires you ultimately to be better than your folks, aye (Just be good)
I don't know what the future hold (Nah)
When I die want you to know I had a heart of gold (Swear)
Not looking for anything from my positive roles
Hope it inspires you ultimately to be better than your folks, aye
Said I didn't believe in God they turned they back on me (Yeah)
Said Jesus wouldn't leave me
I see you don't have any responsibilities (Oh it's just on him?)
For two weeks I didn't get sleep (Nah)
Thought God would kill me (Maaaan damn)
Went through the trauma by myself look at life weirdly (Yeah)
I don't see sins or flaws
See human qualities (We just humans)
Negative energy is good
If you used properly (Yeah)
You want to kill a nigga it's time for a coping skill (What that is?)
Look yo kids in the eye
And think how would they feel (What you think?)
Learned a lot from my life that you'd never expect (Hmm)
I try to inspire in my songs so this ain't trap (Nah)
This ain't no hype shit
Or something you can shake ya ass (I'd love to see it)
It'll help you find some peace and to a better Ave (Yeah)
Came from New Orleans and I still got a long way to go
But now I live in a studio (Midtown)
In a studio (Midtown)
Even switched my area code
I never gave up hope (Never)
