Thanksgiving

You finally made it to your right mind, true
Push your pride high, boost
Yo status varied up you barely your timeline
Every office I cruise in, dudes been stoked to boast about my music
Mostly unenthused like, "That's cool but... what's your wifi?"

I learned what they want in return and they care less of what I need
I made a killing of surviving, I'm protecting what I eat
The same hand that was eager for finger banging my ruger
Just finger painted my future — point the direction and I lead

Whether far Or wide, both these arms'll glide me to my landing free
Harmonize, scar and carve them eyes for every man to see
Panoramic them stands till my Mam and Gramma a fan of me
Got them amped to see
I guess they got over all of the profanity

I gotta get it off my chest while I'm still breathing
Blessings out the deep, I know I'm stressing out my demons
See what I was going through, pulled me by my shoulder
He said, "I still ain't believing what I'm showing you, but hold it"

Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of
Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of
Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of
Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of

I bought the world but keep my needs to the sky
Can't help but think on my drive
I was out the street when shots and screeched and Leon got robbed
Know murdered Co-workers and servers where I recent applied
I think the last thing I'm supposed to be is alive

But Dad said, "Look at you, you living proof of everything that's fictional
Planned it out from handing out spitting mentals on physicals
Submissions and mission move, you see what that position do?
Living out everything I written down in that living room!"

I done been down to the bottom of the lows, uh
Still found a way to keep on poppin' my toes up
I put on a show, when they told you I ain't gon show up
I remember showers when I was heating them stoves up
I remember camp floors
I remember packing 3 pairs of pants in a JanSport
Run away from my Landlord
I remember bringing knives to school to fight in my lunch to say
I remember watching my house and family go up in flames
I remember sunny days
Run the run the block, come in late
Mom intensive care, now I'm sending prayers from another state

Double-dated Destiny swallowed Pride and I stomached greatness
None of this was luck for me, those scratch-offs always rub away
Another way. Took a dive, take a picture, look alive
We was made in His Image, then look at God!
Took your job! Highlighted out for us, love it when you doubting
They sold Pyrite to an Alchemist, now look at mine

If I ain't got nothing else, I got my ideas right here
Ripping from my genes it's hard to fight tears
My niece gon' fight awake
Hibernate, Her eyes clear from makeup
Till' she wake up in a high rise, falling asleep in high chairs

Matches for magic, your majesty answered
Past in these rants till' my dad just beat cancer
Had a dream that we spoke and I had broken inside
When I got close to his mind, he told me "Open your eyes"

And look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of
Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of
Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of
Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something to be proud of

Look around us, look around us
Son, you finally got something, something finally got
You finally got something to be proud of
Finally got something
