I had dreams of starring right at little me between the eyes
I wish I could go back in time and give him game or word to wise
But at the same time wouldn't change the things I learned in life
Shit made me who I am if I could I'd do it twice
It's just a long road sometimes you jump lines you gotta pay tolls
I'ma take the long way the scenic view got me zoned
Smoke floatin' out the top of sunroof on the way home
Just late nights we lean and talk in booths like a payphone
We still Marshawn Lynch on the media
They wanna know more told them use my rhymes as a medium
It's the key to the locks we been keepin' in
Feelin' like it sink or swim
But G-O-D just be my guide and coach me to a needed win
This typewriting get on beats and slide when we craftin' lines
In and out of pockets this is double dutch on double time
If I kept these words inside my brain I'd look like Megamind
I do this for the love they only do it when incentivized to each is own
I miss my grandma voice after dialed tones
A different type of pain I couldn't fix it with a Tylenol
She gave me all the strength I needed when my back was to the wall
The backbone that's why our whole family built a stand tall
We stay strong and strike at all our goals like we Neymar
Just locked in it's crunch time somebody put the game on
We shutting out the noise
I know I got anxiety
Still train to keep my poise
I know they want a piece of me to try to fill the void
They sweet-talking me they only use it as a ploy
You control what you allow won't play the victim role at all
Flow divin' out of bounds I give the rap game my all
My brothers for eternity but never was fraternity
Just lit nights we moved on one accord
Just lit nights we moved in one accord
Keep that shit running
I been watchin' for the snakes lawnmower and I raked
Pop told me cut the grass I took heed to what he say
Different breed but still a dog I'm just not the type for play
Only way I keep my sanity is stayin' out the way
Feel like the ones who hate the most don't know you from a can of paint
They canal street rappers for the bag they'll fake
Never been fond of that but they just do it for the cake
We don't trace steps but if they tracing ours they'll be amazed
This is soulful raps same feeling that you get when the yams touch the mac
Never worry about the plays or the streams or the plaques
We just write to motivate and get the monkey off your back
Couple hi-hats put me in attack mode
We applaud everything that's black-owned
And if I got it and my brother don't well we half those
And vice versa pushin' those you love to go and find a purpose
Not for validation we just do it cause we know it's worth it
Not closing curtains to the man above go and say so
In the meantime we try and top our chicken with the queso
They try to recreate our mold in motion using Play-Doh
We too fast for imitation animation movin' too slow that's for real
But I hope they keep it up
I hope they
Recreate our mold in motion using Play-Doh
We too fast for imitation animation movin' too slow that's for real
But I hope they keep it up
