Yeah
Yeah
Yeah (talk to ’em quick)
Learned a lot while
I was outside
But it got left next to the front door (right here)
On the porch
With the cowboy hat (yeehaw!) (what you talkin’ bout bro?)
Lately i’ve been asking myself (the moment i woke up)
What have we got ourselves into? (i guess we all felt that)
I remember when i woke up (okay, at night)
And my father left me broken (ok, talk about it, talk)
But my mother built me back up (she did!)
While showing me
How to be a better person (yeah, yeah)
That’s why
With yall i cannot politic because
There’s not stopping what i’m set to accomplish (can’t stop)
And the more i got to give to my comrades
I lost bro to the system like a lotto ticket (all to chance)
Tall glass tipping over shattered all independence
I don’t mean to burst your bubble
By being blunt with my message
I think i’m seeing double
And i keep having visions (do you hear me? do you feel me? do you see me?)
And my story just beginning
Nowhere near close to my story ending (first chapter)
My girl hold me close, tell me it’s going to be okay
All of these ultimatums…
That i was ultimately born to be faced with
Diamond dust on my watch ’cause father time is faceless
All the while all i wanted
Was to build a solid foundation
What i find crazy is how remaining solid is seen as so groundbreaking
So i guess ‘ima shake it
And i will take the…
Stones cast upon me
For being the change that i want to see the most
If that’s what it takes but i hope it don’t
I’m just trying to make it
Up the mountain
While i’m
Hanging
On like a goat
You know like when the goats be standing right on the side of the mountain. unbothered, comfortable… yeah (survive, yeah i just hope we all be okay)
This right from the soul (i just hope we all be okay)
Witness marks (i just hope we all be okay)
I leave them for yall (we all be okay)
Striations (i just hope we all be okay, i just hope we end up okay)
And i leave them with love
