Back Down
Okay my death is my forte
Alive at 25 I killed off my old ways
Ghost from the past want my ass stuck in old days
No way! I ain't fucking with that role-play
I don't appeal I verbalize the feel
Realize my goals let you know that I'm for real
You see I heal when I disclose my ordeals
Came close with a knife call it sharpening my skill
This is light work I made my light work
Moonwalked out the dark then made my mic work
Blew myself out the park I fit better with stars
My rhetoric like Federick I free myself through bars
Elevate get away
Tell that bitch get away
Tell that bitch get away
This is not for debate
This is not for debate
This is not for debate
I can't back down
I want the world every curl it's a fact now
Way too much nerve don't disturb how I act now
I ain't tryna cope I feel hope when I'm back now
This is for my folks let em know we don't back down
Back when, rapping, just wasn't happening
Esteem in a trashcan, dreams just a mad friend
Drive lacking traction, dove in distractions
Trying to cook up love, got no reaction
At ground zero I was signaling a hero
Came up short as my height no morphing to Nero
Just a few Smith & Wessons killing my weapon
Felt like an Empty shell so I loaded the fretting
Into a bunch of syllables, nouns verbs never heard
They all billable charge you for every word
That's how to kill the blue, Let the green rid the nerve
Put my flow in a tube I will saturate the world
I am fearless, out of this world yeah peerless
I can brag of a fear list turn folks into Bear Grylls
Jesus non believers could never reach us
They end up as teachers we're tryna be achievers
Elevate get away
Tell that bitch get away
Tell that bitch get away
This is not for debate
This is not for debate
This is not for debate
I can't back down
I want the world every curl it's a fact now
Way too much nerve don't disturb how I act now
I ain't tryna cope I feel hope when I'm back now
This is for my folks let em know we don't back down
Let's go ya know Mkiza got the best flow
I expose demons close like a false falsetto
Perplex those who're unsure of my success
Put fear on my road, haven't made a step
Still I glide through bumps on the road yeah I slide through
I'm taking no more orders I just drive through
Road signs hold my eyes on the grind
See a goldmine every time I speak my own mind
Alive at 25 I killed off my old ways
Ghost from the past want my ass stuck in old days
No way! I ain't fucking with that role-play
I don't appeal I verbalize the feel
Realize my goals let you know that I'm for real
You see I heal when I disclose my ordeals
Came close with a knife call it sharpening my skill
This is light work I made my light work
Moonwalked out the dark then made my mic work
Blew myself out the park I fit better with stars
My rhetoric like Federick I free myself through bars
Elevate get away
Tell that bitch get away
Tell that bitch get away
This is not for debate
This is not for debate
This is not for debate
I can't back down
I want the world every curl it's a fact now
Way too much nerve don't disturb how I act now
I ain't tryna cope I feel hope when I'm back now
