K.A.A.N. - I.C.A.B.S.

H.M.T

How many times will they tell me "no"?
How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?
How many times
How many times will a nigga fail?
How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?
How many times
How many times will you persevere?
How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn't clear?
How many times must you fight your fears?
How many times will you get up when you fall?
Are you still here?

What's clear to you ain't clear to me, that's just a misconception
Yeah, I may have fallen, I may have stumbled but I learned my lesson
The gift of life, boy, ain't it nice?
Yeah, this shit a blessing
The pressure builds the way I can't take it, I must confess it
If it ain't for me then I'm never stressin'
Tryna set my plan in stone, they wanna Etch-A-Sketch it
To each their own, I rather roam, I'm resettin' the sentence
Adjust the view, my shit's construed, they aloof to the message
May have been low, may have been down, but I never been out
Carry the load, breakin' the mold in the midst of a drought
Don't take that much for me to see what you niggas about
I said I refuse to be consumed by the hate and the doubt
Nigga, ah

How many times will they tell me "no"?
How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?
How many times
How many times will a nigga fail?
How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?
How many times
How many times will you persevere?
How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn't clear?
How many times must you fight your fears?
How many time will you get up when you fall?
Are you still here?

We so high that we can't come down
Don't look down
Won't come down
We so high that we can't come down
Don't look down
Won't come down

All that I see is these vices
Niggas pretend to be righteous
Hard to survive in this climate
But your senses is heightened
Tryin' my best to enlighten
But first, I humble myself
Gotta put my pride to the side and let it just fall by my waist
I might fall flat on my face
I know that bitter taste
I'm out here tryna keep my faith like a Latter Day Saint
I use they words as motivation when they tell me I can't
Outside the box, the way I think
Refuse to give in or quit
Yeah I can't

How many times will they tell me "no"?
How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?
How many times
How many times will a nigga fail?
How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?
How many times
How many times will you persevere?
How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn't clear?
How many times must you fight your fears?
How many time will you get up when you fall?
Are you still here?
