Giving, I don't plan to take
Anything from anyone
The sky's where I'll take
All of my good, good, good intentions
Here for the great-er good good intentions
Living with the hand I've made
Betting on myself, won't fold I'll raise
For all of my good, good intentions
For goodness sake hear my intention
Give a man a hand not a hand out, church
Live a life present not planned out, hurr
Yeah It ain't real pretty but it panned out, word
Ain't afraid to stand up, so I stand out, scurrd nah
I know who I am I was raised right
Tryna grow with the fam in the late night
Gotta know how to act and who got your back
Life's a stage I just wanna be a playwright
Always rep home harder when I'm far from it
Paid the price to get back, got a scar from it
But I learned, I grew, and I paid my dues
Shooting for the moon I gotta take a star from it
I been dwelling on the dead since I lost my dad
I had to shed my grief I had to take my stand
When I left home, never felt so alone
But I had to get lost to find who I am
Everything is clear in my rear view
I'm listening pop, but I can't hear you
Lost at sea with no direction couldn't think straight
You, not me, in my reflection did we link fate
Now my soul feels like a stranger
And I can't control my own anger
I gotta find peace living in my own skin
But I'm searching everywhere instead digging from within
And I know I'm just another flawed human
Tryna make something pretty even though it's all ruined
Calling on the good in my intentions
In the past I was last now I'm betting on redemption
Some days I swear I can't tell the difference
I worry about my kids and the way that I imprint
The island called me home, had to answer
Everyone of us is dying some of us just do it faster
Giving, I don't plan to take
Anything from anyone
The sky's where I'll take
All of my good, good, good intentions
Here for the great-er good good intentions
Living with the hand I've made
Betting on myself, won't fold I'll raise
For all of my good, good intentions
For goodness sake hear my intention
Been trying to think more introspective
Been more selective these days
With where my energy go
I'm with my dawgs and we strays
We stray away from the negative energy we create
With no direction
But that what it seem
When all of these late nights
Evolve into insight
Cause pen and paper
Really know my real thoughts
Found but I'm real lost
Eating but the meal cost
All my peace, hold it up
Deuces to my demons
I got better things to worry bout
A Chaud tagalu who forgot but was reminded that
My island is the rock that concides
With all my purpose
Now I'm just regurgitating
My evolved hurt
In the form of spoken word
Tryna serve my bigger why's
Trauma made me real wise
But it ain't why I do the thang
Moving knowing I'll inherit
The shit I'm building today
Got the blueprints
Foundation layed
Home is why I fucken do this
Protect the Culture that made you
Respect the island that raised you
Show love to the people who hate you
Whatever doesn't break you, creates you
