Realize

Everybody got a plan til they're punched in the face
Once for the base
Taste their own blood, then it's decisions to make
Where I'm spending the day?
Knocked in a prison, or a prism, awake?
And I choose
To see shit in color
Live for my brother, a slave to poor choices and baby mothers
The others don't believe when I tell em
I'ma leave more better than I came
You already, know this
Every pretty snake's on notice
I'ma cut the grass someday, you could hold this
No vision havin' motherfuckers be the boldest
Peg me on your pecking order
I ain't never folding
I'll remember all the looks in your face
When it's time to put the plaque into place
Feels so good, you shoulda listened to Ma$e
Marathon style how I'm runnin' this race

REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE
(And still!)
REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE
(Until!)
REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE
(I'll tell!)
REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE REALIZE
(I'll tell!)

The smallest pebble in the glass ceiling could shatter it
Been chucking gravel at that bitch since I came out the batter
Slapbox with my old shadows
No more use for candles
I'm fuckin' wit a whole new light
Memory long, I warned you right?
And when I get on it's morbid between us
Your soul need a clean up
Jesus
Did me so long it's next season
I'm leaving you right where you belong in the weeds
And this is a gun to the door!
It's really never nothin' no more
All the pain that I paid for
Paid forward
And they know it and they know it
Let no man curse what Jah bless
Can't front on what's John blaze
I'm bout to get it tatted on my shoulder blades
So you could see it when my arms raised in the praise posture
Every written word is an Oscar
Do the work, son
They can't deny the work, son
They'll front all day but they can't deny your worth, son
And neither can you
If you lay those bricks
You've got a wall in a year
YOU did it all in a year
And only you can knock it down, all of your fears on the floor
Pierce everybody's hearts and you're Paul
The game winner
The same sinner turned saint off a little pain and suffering
The buffering is nothin then
This is the first best thing I've ever done
Crawled out of my cave to have my day in the sun
The first best thing I've ever done
Crawled out of my cave to have my day in the sun, and still...
