Lyrics

Subject Matters

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If it's meant to be it will be

You try so hard to keep em, forcing situations (?)

What's the outcome if the income is of value?

Does your morals and your values

Suggest you have no right to an opinion?

Your position that you're in, does it determine

How your life will pan out?

Running a mile in these shoes for you to compete

I stand out (?)

Would it be necessary?

Military's covering my doubt (?)

I'm giving orders and there be no need to say "roger that"

You should already know I got the city all in my belt

And I be in the studio all day recording them tracks

To master my craft

Of learning my art

Cause everything I say is coming straight from the heart

I just have to bring it together not tear it apart

But at least I've got them seeing that I ain't saying (?)

My words are just my thoughts

I'm just speaking my mind in these lines

N if you can relate, it's up to you to decide

But choose right!

And I say

So

How do you as a person

As an individual in fact

Distinguish yourself from others

Like what makes you unique?

Do you just follow the crowd

Believe everything that's told to you or

Are you strong minded in the sense where you pay no attention

To what people think of you?

(Yuh, yuh)

Cause these things count you know, these things count

We come from a land where information is elsewhere

We don't need to know

We don't need to know?

Well that's BS!

They just want us all to play the game like on DS

Trying to install eyes up in my brain

Pressing eject (?)

Do I have the power to do so?

Just like a (?) that has the power to (?)

Oh, is it easy enough?

Well I don't think it's easy at all

Would you rather have a screw loose

Or just be used as a tool?

And until you think about what you would rather be

I'ma keep spreading my message till it's overseas

Trying to educate the people that listen to me

Cause if you're not learning at school then listen to me

Yo I ain't trying to say I know everything

Cause nobody can know everything

Just take me in small doses like you have medicine

And I can guarantee that you will feel better when

You listen to this

So, in continuation from by previous question

Which I hope you've at least thought about

I'm not expecting you to give me an answer, don't worry

But!

If you can work out that

Do you don't think you can work out your purpose of being here

In terms of your life?

I don't even know if I can

It's just a question I'm throwing out there

For you to think about

(Listen!)

(Who knows you might work it out, who knows)

Look

Understand you're worth more than gold

Never put a price on my soul

It can't be sold!

Tryna put some ice on your chain but it's getting old

You can never try to complain, this is what you chose

It's one thing tryna put on for your fam

To doing nothing but tryna please your fans

To getting colds from Friends you've never had

Shit like this could really turn anyone mad

But

I ain't anyone, or better than anyone

I'm just tryna make music till it's heard by everyone

See you're shocked or just very stunned

By the way I kill flows and then bury em

It's that new God flow but no Mary's son (?)

I know that my God knows I'm the chosen one

See, we laughing now at these slums

But they still laugh about where we from

Please correct me now if I'm wrong

(Man)

Got a lot to say?

Well it's like fuck what you know

Listen to the song

(Man)

Trying to make a stamp in the industry

But it's getting kinda long

(Man)

Plus these people saying

"Why you come here go back to where you belong"

But home is the heart, where I'm from

And there it goes

Alright guys, that's class done for today

Please if you can

Quickly and quietly put your books on the top shelf

And any paints you've borrowed in a basket

I'm sorry if today was a bit deep

I promise next lesson won't be as deep

We will have a bit of fun

And uh, yeah, that's it you're free to go

(Ay, don't do that, put that back)

(Put it back, good)
