Poem and Piano
You know man I been down lately
All I'm tryna do is take care of myself and my fam
So I grind everyday and I pray
I really don't care what nobody say
Because I love this and I know my life gon' change
Can I just be myself in this rap thing? (Yeah)
People brung me down but my direction won't change (nah)
When you give yourself a name, it comes with a lot of hate
A lot of pain
I'm tryna make it out the hood before I go insane
Cause sometimes I go off on the things that people say (I do)
Wanna lose my confidence but that won't change
Give my mama what she want just because the pain
I was rakin' Leaves just before this rap thing (Rakin' leaves)
We had to sacrifice for them better days (better days)
We had to sacrifice for them better days (better days)
Cruising round the city, it's a memory lane
First thing in my mind is thanking the lord that I wake
Then I go and grind so I can put food on my plate (my plate)
They say you can't do it but you know it's your way (your way)
You the manifestor of the things coming your way (your way)
Pull up in a foreign, Skrrrr
Hop out one day (one day)
Not materialistic but things got taken away (taken away)
We kickin' Ish no Liu Kang
Liu Kang!
I'm feeling your vibes, chakras elevate
Going harder than yesterday (I am)
I just wanna brand my name
(Brand my name)
Performing all day
Just remember my name
My name!
Homie switched up on me like a outfit
You fake!
Always been real, never was a counterfeit
Rocked one pair of shoes now it's more kicks
You can broke but you can still be rich
I remain swift, I remain fluent!
Power in my hands, so it's a gift
Give and receive, they ain't gave me ish
I remain humble cuz I said I will
If you ain't riding then detach from the wheel
Non supporters?
Not the deal, working like I'm working on the field
Speaking from experience over the past years
Lord protect me from the enemies over here
May your love be my shield?
Shield!
Started from the bottom tryna get a house up on the hill
On the hill!
Run from who?
Nah man I don't fear
All I'm tryna do is take care of myself and my fam
So I grind everyday and I pray
I really don't care what nobody say
Because I love this and I know my life gon' change
Can I just be myself in this rap thing? (Yeah)
People brung me down but my direction won't change (nah)
When you give yourself a name, it comes with a lot of hate
A lot of pain
I'm tryna make it out the hood before I go insane
Cause sometimes I go off on the things that people say (I do)
Wanna lose my confidence but that won't change
Give my mama what she want just because the pain
I was rakin' Leaves just before this rap thing (Rakin' leaves)
We had to sacrifice for them better days (better days)
We had to sacrifice for them better days (better days)
Cruising round the city, it's a memory lane
