Day Ones

Uhn
I've been up so high
For so long
That if I fall off
I might just fly by
Undetected from life's plights
We've been beefing like 5 guys
And ever since I was yay height
I've been pulling up
That big trouble

Shadow boxing in the dark
With the Devil
Everytime I close my eyes
I'm tired of pretending to be
Someone other
Than the man I was meant to achieve, but
I'm still chasing
And God ain't hit me back up in a minute
Got me rereading over our old conversations
Grandma told me
"He must be working on another blessing"
And I ain't forget to check in
I look around and I think
There's no other way we could've made it this far
My minds been on the run
And it's still at large
Speeding in and out these lanes
Like Keanu Reeves
And it ain't hard to believe (The heights that I've reached)

I've been up so high
For so long
That if I fall off
I might just fly by
Undetected from life's plights
We've been beefing like 5 guys
And ever since I was yay height
I've been pulling up
That big trouble (Yeah)

Interstellar cruising down the street
Pull up on the block
In my space rock
Foreign whip
Aliens drive it to the top
Love driving back to my deposit box
Gotta get it by any means
Anyways
Hit the books hard
Drop the weight
All of the things that I know it'll break
Your whole world to shards and
I ain't even trying to start
Nothing with anyone
I'm just focusing
On my own social system and
I ain't gonna say it again
I had a lot of friends
I had to cut it thin
Yeah
We was cool but that was then, and
I ain't got time to worry about
The who's and the when's, but
If we gonna think about it
Guess who's the one that's
Gone with the wind
(Yuh)

I've been up so high
For so long
That if I fall off
I might just fly by
Undetected from life's plights
We've been beefing like 5 guys
And ever since I was yay height
I've been pulling up
That big trouble

Before Tony Jay
They ain't have a reason to speak Japanese
Tripping off they tongue
ください
Had to teach a 忍者 please
Switching languages like 忍者s
Steady switching with the ease
Started out from nothing
I was muddled mixing with the grease
I don't care about a plaque
Where you at?
A 忍者 coming with Degrees
Burning hot
Mixing sushi in the pot
Headed to Japan
I was tired of the thots
Tripping in my head
Wrote my ticket pencil lead
I'm the first 忍者 to make it out
忍者s rather see me dead
忍者s saying nigga
Because they love the culture
And don't know what's that about
Prejudice and violence
Underneath they mouth
Underneath they tongue
Inhale in they lungs
But, ninjas stay a different color
And don't understand the implication
For our chocolate brothers
Who grew up beside a mother
Cause a father couldn't help
Victimized a bastard
His pops was trying to help his self
Scrutinized and segregated become a rapper
The only chance of seeing wealth
Turn around and use the same slander to mock they self
We come from different peers
We come from different years
Slavery mentality enough
To bring me back to tears
Cause the same day I realized
We all gonna die
First time I realize
What it was like to cry
Day I realized
What it meant to be alive
Every day we living another day I survived
I was trapped inside a box
Victim of a circumstance
This ain't Nickelodeon
The way I had to take a Sunny with a chance
Strapping on the たび
This might be my last dance
Let the shadow tempt me
It's tempting I'm flirting with the Devil
Victim of my vices
I line em up knock em off the schedule
Rap game done changed me
Made things hazy
Had to wipe my eyes cause
Maybe I be going crazy
Had to think outside the box
Much rather than kicking rocks
Would I be on Instagram
If I was knocking stages?
Raising up my rates
For tearing down they block
Maybe not
Dedicate this to the ones
Family and ya sons
Run the race we never done
Better stick
To the plot

I've been up so high
For so long
That If I fall off
I might just fly by
Undetected from life's plights
We've been beefing like 5 guys
And ever since I was yay height
I've been pulling up
That big trouble
