(Verse)
Bars heavy over guitar medleys
Cardiac arrest the beat, pardon me y’all, my heart heavy
I starved plenty, I’m hungry, you n***as aren’t ready
I ain’t a shooter, OG’s told me keep ya arm steady
Same principles apply to my pen
I rhyme for the heads, remind ’em what we fightin’ against
Pain in the wisdom, aim at the system
This what the game been missin’
I made decisions to distance me from the fakes and snitches
Play my position, f**k fame and riches, my brain is gifted
I paint the image, save the gimmicks, look what you gave the business
Tatt’ ya face, dye ya dreads, pierce ya nose
Sell ya soul, cartoon weirdos, but we don’t hear the flows
I’m from that era when n***as was stealin’ VCR’s
Open mics, Lower East Side, two dollar PBR’s…uh
Sharpened my sword with the grimiest
New York City environments, believe I seen the violence
Young lyricist at The Pyramid, I was seventeen
They checked my ID and said ‘Leave,’ shout out Mental Supreme
He put me on my first stage, must’ve seen it in me
Different breed of hippy but I still keep the green and sticky
I knew the streets was risky, learned to keep my mouth shut
Music was all I had, my momma wasn’t around much
Only child, made myself a straight rap miracle
Never had my pops, I hate that cereal
(Chorus)
But I been having visions for my whole life
I been having visions for my whole life
I guess I’m just a natural mystic x2
Yea, I been having visions for my whole life
I been having visions for my whole life
I guess I’m just a natural mystic
I can’t predict it but I be havin’ premonitions
(Verse)
Shoebox under the futon, no bank account
Sellin’ dope out the Cutla**, slept on my man’s couch
Momma threw me out at seventeen, some sh*t you never seen
Barely graduated, sad to say it, what you tellin’ me?
Don’t ever knock the hustle or question the focus
Hate to pop ya bubble, you ain’t had to hustle but I was f**kin homeless
My grandfather liked to sip on that Jamaican rum
When I was young, might give my grandma a black eye or some
Mad screamin’ woke me out my sleep, one night late
Red and blue lights, moms dropped the knife in the driveway
Remember how that steel sounded hittin’ the ground, piercin’
Probably traumatized me at the time, that’s why I’m f**kin fearless
Y’all ain’t got the soul like ya back ain’t against the ropes
Can’t relate but I never folded under the pressure though
Once upon a time, thought I ain’t belong, talkin’ suicide
My old head looked me in the eye and handed me a nine
He said “Life goes on with or without you
Feel sorry for yourself if you want but its gon’ drown you
That’s what it come down to, you either stand up or lay down
Life ain’t fair, its babies out catchin’ strays on the playground”
Be aware n***a…be aware of all the pain out here
It’s a different game now…real sh*t
(Chorus)
But I been having visions for my whole life
I been having visions for my whole life
I guess I’m just a natural mystic x2
But I been having visions for my whole life
I been having visions for my whole life
I guess I’m just a natural mystic
I can’t predict it but I be havin’ premonitions
