Uh yeah, you know how I move
You know when I wake up I think of the money that I gotta make just to hop in the booth
Yeah (what), you know I move
You know that I step with intention and listen to everything taught 'cause I'm tryna improve
Uh, drowning in truth
I tried to swim in a sea of my lies it's a bottomless pool
Told myself that I could make it without ever facing my doubts, an astonishing fool
Told myself I wasn't lazy, it made me complacent, but now I must swallow the truth
I'll set the standards ahead of success if I shoot for the stars, I'ma fall on the moon
Born in the valley of shadow of death
Brought to the gates as I sat on the steps
God knew he had better plans for me, so I awoke in a hospital gasping for breath
Look at this world and I bask in its depths
How simple it seems yet its vast and complex
A puzzle of infinite pieces, the chances of finding your place are a calculus question
I got a blessing, I ain't gone waste on wishing and hoping, that's kinda depressing
I been deflecting all of the work that I shoulda been putting in, time to address it
I'll be the lesson, teaching these young niggas how to start seeing beyond the possessions
Crafting a path of their own so they see they don't have to be trapped on the path they were destined
Stars in the sky on a summer night vanish when the lights too bright but the moon
It shines every night as a light in the dark through the rain, through the plights, it doesn't take or consume
So I don't look to the stars for my fate 'cause they change all the time, I put faith in my truths
It's my life to live and I've only got one so I'ma live it in the way that I choose
Do you believe in destiny?
Do you believe in a heaven or hell, do you believe in anything?
See, I believe in legacy, life isn't a puzzle, it has entropy
I see it like a quilt, come take the strands of fate and thread with me
Carefully, I tread these waters, sharks would be the death of me
Knowledge be thy steel, I'm using caution as my weaponry
I navigate with heart, the thoughts are often filled with treachery
With every battle scar, I don't see losses, only lessons, see
If fate is written in the stars, then my pen must be heavenly
Knocking on the gates to see if God will grant me clemency
For shuffling the deck ain't like the hand of cards he dealt for me
I flushed it down the drain, no disrespect, it just ain't meant for me
Wits over brilliancy
Lyrics over anything
Spirit over everything
That's the path of Timothy
I'm killing beats deliberately with purpose and consistency
I took the notes I had and wrote a motherfucking symphony
Stars in the sky on a summer night vanish when the lights too bright but the moon
It shines every night as a light in the dark through the rain, through the plights, it doesn't take or consume
So I don't look to the stars for my fate 'cause they change all the time, I put faith in my truths
It's my life to live and I've only got one so I'ma live it in the way that I choose
Uh yeah, you know how I move
You know when I wake up I think of the money that I gotta make just to hop in the booth
Uh, drowning in truth
I tried to swim in a sea of my lies it's a bottomless pool
With every battle scar, I don't see losses, only lessons, see
If fate is written in the stars, then my pen must be heavenly
