First Amendment

My father made me practice
Walking with my head high
Back then I didn't get it

It was stupid
A waste of time
Saw no value in it

He would say things like
Be yourself
Always be the difference

Cause when you open yo mouth to speak
All the nations listen

The problem with a lot of men
We ain't acknowledgin

Is Greatness lives in every son
But fathers call it out of them

My dad declared a bunch of things
I couldn't see it

But he kept calling me king
Til one day I believed it

Fast forward to my kingship
Still haven't found my queen yet

But yet I reign
Cause this blood that's in my veins

Make it so

Make it so

I remember leaving college like
God don't have accidents

Never knew that I day left
I'd never go back again

Never knew not graduating
Was gone show
His glory in my story

No degree
But I
Walked in that anointing
For my ceremony

My household is the family that made
It out the hood

Lot of uncles and aunties
Have never understood

I was growing up being hated
But never heard

Now I spit these verses that
Got em hanging on every word

But see my parents was strategic
Provided me the life
Yet still made sure that I seen it

So I won't grow up blind in these white schools

Kicked outta high school

For petty crime
That gets overlooked for a white dude

Right Now where I live
It's people tryna build each other

But right now
Back in Kansas City
They still kill each other

The Midwest still a jungle
Yet it's like no other

Full of animals trapped in cages

Government shortin wages

Drugs got us so sedated

Restaurants overweighted

Ain't no restaurants with waiters

Man

This verse is how I manifest my 1st amendment

This world is sick
And cancer ain't our worst condition

I wrote this verse sitting in a hood you ain't welcome in

See
You don't speak our language

You a consumer of hiphop culture
Where hood is tainted

You prolly think that yo platinum album gone reach the nations

Clearly you ain't walked through the hood
Round here you ain't that famous

And Ain't no smiles,
They'll steal your joy less you rock disguise

We ain't fam
But our handshake gave us family ties

The opposite of Birthday
Ain't no party
Just surprise

Dang

The king of hiphop must had to struggle
They always do

I'ma king and hiphop
Is what I really do

I can take you down memory lane
It's right around the corner

On his death and His resurrection
I spit the truth

When you poor
You make due with advice that's really bull

Like when you hungry
Sleep on your stomach to feel it full

I done ate enough
Noodles for a lifetime

So please
Stop asking
Bout my hunger in these interviews

I quit both of my jobs
And left Atlanta happy

I knew the Lord would provide
Because He always had me

Next thing that I knew
I was doubting Truth

Barely breathing in the
City that never sleeps
Call it sleep apnea

I was homeless
I used planet fitness for my showers

They Let me stay in Lobbies
Buying coffee every hour

But Dunkin Donuts ain't that comfortable
Especially for a Christian who
Believing for a life just like the huxtables

I ain't perfect
I'm just tryna serve Him faithfully

I am not religious
It is just His face I seek

You keep waving hands
I will sit here at His feet

You keep waving hands
I will sit here at His feet

And this is

We are
And we shall

It's kinda like an already but not yet
Modern day terms of the biblical sense

A declaration to the future glory that we have
And that we will inherit
Being sons of the most high

But it's an ugly process to that kingship
You know what I'm saying

Yea
