Perseverance

Uh, mic check yo

Ha, we still here?

Still going strong yeah? Ha ha

Are you down with Zuby?

Chyea!

I will not go pop I will not go soft

When I say no, means no (no)

This is true hip-hop I do not flip flop

When I say flow, mean flow (flow)

This is perseverance, this is perseverance

This is perseverance, this is perseverance (chyea)

I will not go pop I will not go soft

When I say no, means no (no)

This is true hip-hop I do not flip flop

When I say flow, mean flow (flow)

This is perseverance, this is perseverance

This is perseverance, this is perseverance (chyea!)

Uh, this is perseverance

I've been on the rhyme since I made a first appearance

I been on the grind never waited for the clearance

Life is all the time so I'm gonna live it fearless

Yeah, and people gonna hear this

Made a little name with a vision and coherence

Never been a lame no I'm closer to a genius

Knowledge in my brain chalk it up to the experience

Still I’m not rich but at least I ain't broke

Never sell dreams cuz I'd rather sell hope

People so lost in the mirrors and the smoke

Think I'd be a realer bloke if I said I sold dope (nope)

But my fans will tell you that I'm awesome

I started selling and they bought 'em

I told them get em and I got ‘em

So if you want dope bars that is not problem

It's time to put the needles on the wax

Rock hard like I got The Beatles in the back

Go soft make an easy living off the map

Or I can go hard like fricking cheetah on the track

I'm grinding from a zero to a stack

And I'm talking about deniro getting jacked

If Wakanda needs a new king I'ma go hard to be the leader of the pack

A needle in a stack and I'm a fiending to attack

Not a baller no T'challa but a hero and I'm black

I'm an eagle to a rat, verbal demon on a track

I'm a scholar and a brawler, you don't feel it then you're wack

You're always talking evil in your rap

I'm trying put my meanings on the map

I gave you 12 rules for life and kept my room clean

I'm the Jordan Peterson of rap (chyea, bucko)

And I believe what I prophesise

So I don't apologise

Unless I do wrong, I don't bow to the mob I don't live to antagonise

But, they say I'm too outspoken

They wonder if I'm joking

Look, a little bit is jest but I say what I feel man I'm real and I'm open

Trust in God but I live in the physical

Selfish thoughts but I give in the lyrical

Thought cops hot want my speech to be criminal

Lies get fought when I speak the political (why?)

I am not left-wing I am not right-wing

I just know all these things I know

You cannot label me you can't put shame on me

When I say go means go

Fresh, I step into the premises

Kick dope rhymes and they love how I'm expressing it

Hop online and reply to all the messages

Gotta spend time man I'm grateful that you cherish it

Don't talk crap no I'd rather be irrelevant

Can't play dumb, people know that I'm intelligent

See me up, late night, big beard, Letterman

12 years deep now I'm flowing like a veteran (chyea!)

Dudes show love now I'm moving up in eminence

Girls show love cuz they're feeling all the pleasantness

Got huge dreams I could never be a pessimist (nah)

Too much love I could never be a feminist (ha ha)

Girl, stop looking all incredulous

I am not a bad man I am not your nemesis

Always had a mega drive, take it back to genesis

Worked so hard, time to reap a couple benefits (chyea!)

Chyea!
