Development

With all that I say

With all that I know

I
Came out the womb and I'm pissing my mama off
Got out of school and I piss everybody off
Including teachers and students and other folks
Who've interacted with me
Or should I say I ticked off
But uh
My sister tells me I'm stupid and I should stop
I hear the opposite only that I should not
I pity my future friends
If they'd have met me now
Cuz if we link then I guarantee
I'm gonna make em pull they hair out
But
This ain't about em
This is all bout me
Development's a state of mind
That's just what I might need
My niggas tell me I'm annoying
And I just might be
I tell em get a pic with Chance
Then come talk to me
I said I'm cool with Aminé
Like that nigga my cousin
I Got the beat like thotiana
Cuz my drums will get bussin
It isn't easy being Habesha
You know that I'm right
Especially when gossip travels in the speed of light
Wassup
With everything I know
With everything I do
I turn it to a song
Like when your momma loves the prime minister more than you
That's Just sad
Shut Up
I need to Develop

Oh ohh oh
Oh ohh oh
Oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh
I need to Develop
I need to Develop
I need to Develop
Ladadadadadada dadadadadada
Ladadadadadada dadadadadada
Uh Yeah
Ladadadadadada dadadadadada
Let's do this
Ladadadadadada dadadadadada

I say
Protect yo genius
Protect yo life
Protect yo peoples And
Protect yo mind
Protect it from dem people trynna kill
That flame within yo soul
So make sure that your will
Is safe
Locked and compressed
And hidden within yo heart
See I'm the type to go ahead and pick apart
Every single artists
That I see myself in
Those the building blocks
That Imma use
To ma Devlpment
From being Melodic like lauryn hill
Not rappin all of the time
But owning all of my raps
Like Nipsey all in his prime
But I'm being dope in a way
That's different from other guys
Creative unlike no other
But similar as if I'm
Gambino
I made the beat tho
Student of the game
So I'm for my people
The chords to this song is an E then C oh
Then we end it all as I play the D note
My presence denotes
An era of some new emcees
Been hearin' a lot people
Talking about how hip hop seems
Overly saturated I
Overtly sat and waited
For an opportunity
For my
Overly dedicated self
I
I'm not rapper I'm a singer who raps
Better than... 80% of all your favorite druggies who rap
So by the time that we done
U gon' see that we mean Biz
They call me Yodz
But most of all they call him Mr.Thibs

Protect your life Protect your life
Might take a couple tries
But we gone get it right
One day God placed an idea in my mind
He said that it would bloom but in its own time
I said
Excuse me sir can we speed this up
I'm trying to flex I mean raise some disciples up
He said boy, sit back... ease your mind
If you roll with me learn to enjoy the ride
But
I tried to rush it
Thinking that I would crush it
Ended up looking like a scrub without a budget
Reluctantly I moved slow
But then I learned to love it
And when something blocked my path
I just learned to rise above it
Good things take time let's be honest
We still working on getting slavery abolished
It took 28 takes just for this verse to sound polished
It might sound a little funny
But I'm just being honest
I need to Develop

Rule number 1
You are not your form of art
Your form art can be a part of you however
So don't let another's opinion of your Art form affect you
For it is not you
If they don't know you personally
Don't take it personally
The normal people can leave now I'm talking to creatives
Whatever u create document it
Celebrate each victory u have with every obstacle
Then you can see your progress
Remember: you gotta suck to be dope

I need to
