I have been rapping for a while yeah you'd think that they would know it
My intention is causing smiles always has been the motive
I got burnt so many times that I could walk a solstice
Lit their embers in the sky and now the sky is explosive
Found out to still do what I like got to do more that I don't care
Everybody want a ride but nobody want be chauffeur
Gripped the steering wheel and I swerve those saying that I can't
Go where I need to go I can't keep waiting the whole fam
I promised we would get it now
Not soon not later not tomorrow we on our way out
Would bottle all that sorrow now we use it channel deep profound
See back then it was shallow we just sat the sadness with a scowl
The strangest thing happened went and flipped my worldview upside down
I poured it in the rapping every litre started to amount
Khalifas to J Dillas to the critters to the underground
West boogies kids in hoodies some in juvie and the unannounced
It's finally time the unheard of get their name out here
This about chime so melodious don't explain just share
Full-filling purpose come full circle end where we begin
In other words each hurdle we endured was to reclaim the kid
Something's got to give
Somehow it's got to work
I'm getting on my knees and I be praying to my God
Several times a day
Thank him for what I've got
For everything I had
For everything I lost
Pull up to this function they going to need more reps
Before that angel's on my tongue oh I will give more sweat
All my brothers in my arms looking like a corvette
It's never been about the parm but we were malnourished
Had to make sure we wouldn't starve so we could keep doing
All the things we truly loved and what we don't haul them
Like they the trailer pave the way for seeing the movie
Must have patience there's a wait cause once we dead they'll see
Faith been waiting outside uh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Faith been outside
Faith been
Faith been waiting outside
Uh
Faith been waiting outside yuh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Faith been outside
Faith been
Faith been waiting outside
Am I too cold to take the plunge
Quadruple gin that I sip with a boogie on
The world is on fire I don't care about Louis Vuitton
I know most that I do is wrong
Probably only be human once
Fuck it I do what I do and I do a song
Breaking my back I ain't taking shit back I will lay them all flat like this ace in my hand
They don't want cap so all I say is fact
You spit your verse and it make me want nap
Allow the cap
Allow the poison you playing an act
You Angie and Brad
You confuse the kids cause they don't understand
That you different in rap
So we different and damn let me say where I'm at look
Last few years I've been soul searching
I feel like this my sole purpose
I don't know why I was so nervous
Why I thought that I don't deserve this
I broke that curse I know my worth I am dope for certain
You know if you heard I wrote a verse then the flow gets murdered
Mm
Born out of hunger I have no emotion
If this coke you dope about as ibuprofen
My eyes are open swear I've been focused
Like Mehmet at Constantinople bro I've been chosen
This faith in something great is way more than just a step up
I could throw my pen away and it land on a page facing Mecca
Praise the heavens pain just made me better I could take the hate forever
