Lyrics
INTRO
I know I know I know I know it’s getting complicated
I know I know I know I know you’re trying hard to make it
Just keep on pushing, keep on pushing, you know God's the greatest
But lord I don’t know how much more of this that I can take-in
I know I know I know I know it’s getting complicated
I know I know I know I know you’re trying hard to make it
Just keep on pushing, keep on pushing, you know God's the greatest
But lord I don’t know how much more of this that I can take-in
Ummmm hmmmmm
HOOK
I’m pouring out my soul, out here trying to get known
Everybody wanna go platinum. But I’m just trying to get to my goals.
See my goals in my mouth so I speak it to existence
See my goals in my mouth so I speak it to existence
V1 (T.Lucas)
This year is a rough one to confront, ain’t nothing left to run from
Where I come from ain’t nobody sitting round waiting on a trust fund
So I go and get it... no permission, I’m so ambitious: puff puff (Diddy)
Like I’m 50 on the come up but keep the golds in my mouth like I’m Young Buck
But this shit just keeps on escaping me feeling so wild and so flagrantly I don’t know how they taking me?
I need a vacancy I know I’m built for this shit, just don’t know what they’ll make of me
I got this from A to Z maybe I’m tryna get paid in full (paid in full)
So I’m taking my time, bow my head say my grace on this plate of food (plate of food)
We all play the fool (play the fool) ...use ya mind, that’s the greatest tool
Cause I’m tryna see racks on racks on racks on racks on racks on racks on racks like I’m playing pool
So I take the cues, never break the rules, working hard every day never take a snooze
Cause I pay my dues, never play to lose, in my favorite shoes and my pace is smooth
As I take a view at the scenery… peacefully smoking my greenery
I 'member no one believed in me, now they just openly greeting me
I need a second to breathe… I just been stressing for weeks
Lord put your blessings on me, to be what I’m destined to be
HOOK
V2 (Substantial)
This year is a mofo. Still quarantined at the dojo
Kicking rhymes and chopping beats putting final tweaks on my solo
Got shit to say, got bills to pay, got kids to raise, they distance learning
Got canceled tours and gig delays, won't quit today, we "distance" earning
That's passive income, I had to get some,
Thanks to DL for passing wisdom
I'm black and then some, I bash the system for slaughtering Black Lives, I'm mad as shit son!
We funding causes, shopping black,
On stolen land trying to buy it back
Started with something, was cut down to nothing,
Won't stop 'til we pass where we started at
Want all it back with interest. (Gimme the bag, yo)
4th and barely inches (Run it back, bro)
Can't hold us back. I chose to rap and put my soul in every sentence (Just the facts, hoe)
I worked from home when I got home from work
Stacking time and rhymes putting microphones to work
Independently, lyrically hanging with the best, say it with my chest like the shit was on my shirt
In my zone for sure, most slept on motherfucker on the earth and the flow’s berzerk
Chilling in my own lane and I got it on cruise, only really gotta move if I wanna merge
I’m the problem and the answer and I’m tall, dark, and handsome and I know my worth
Scared? Go to church! ... Outchea til I’m beer on the curb, and I'm gone like skeerttt
