Work In Progress (feat. Jagged Edge, RL of Next, Chris Scholar)

I am not a finished product
Only judge when I'm done
Young and black and from the projects
Got a lot to overcome

I got my head in clouds
I got my feet on land
My homies fell too deep
This is the quickest sand
I know that, I am not a finished product
Got a lot to overcome

I been changing, changing, changing, changing
I been changing, changing, changing, changing

Who knew a star could fall from oh-so-high
And land on earth
Outgrow the sky
Expand my worth
I'll help you fly but fam is first

I am not a finished product
Got a lot to overcome
I am not a finished product
Only judge when I'm done
Young and black and from the projects
Got a lot to overcome

I got so many flaws
I try to hide but it all comes out
Rely on luck 'till it all runs out
So many gods, I should call one out
Right now (right now, right now)
I was naive when it all went down
When pops went ghost you was all I had
You went up North then it all went South
Everybody I know dealing with some shit
Tensions high, rent is high, so they with the shits
You get high, tell me why then I hit the shit
Catch a vibe, write a line, then I spit the shit
Giving game, 'bout to run my own internship
I done lost count of all of my mentorships
Euro-stepping to the left of your fickle shit
Still I'm blessed, I ain't stressin', no lickle shit (whoo)
Sunday night, momma penne olive, vodka from pentecostal church
I been scared, I ain't finished sinning
I ain't been repenting, what if god comes first
I been feeling like the end is nearing
All my niggas running out of options now
Nothing's been black and white for years
I'm making deals with my conscience now
Weather getting worse, cops wylin'
Is it fair to even have a seed someday
God, family and a little money
All the things my momma said I'll need someday
Got my name from the King James
That I promised momma I'ma read someday
Hopefully, they still accept my plead
Please remember one last thing

I am not a finished product
Only judge when I'm done
Young and black and from the projects
Got a lot to overcome
