Too Many Reasons

Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
Coming from the bottom
Plenty things that I seen
Greatest artist in the world
He ah lyrical machine
Step up on the stage and he ah mashup da scene yea

At fourteen years old a young boy just wanted to rap
He didn't care bout criticism
He wasn't hunting for claps
Unless you put em on these beats
Man he listened to some of the best
Understand that based on belief he envisioned he one of the best
Listened to legends he copied their flows and he telling himself that he harder than that
Feeling legit when he taking these notes and then sticking to school was a part of plan
Levelled up fast, no time to dwell on the past
Every chance he would spazz
Life is like Russian roulette
Prayed for the best and then pull the trigger with finesse
Well all these years later boy became a man and yeah he still rapping
Fan base grew bigger and the audience is still clapping
Deal or no deal before the curtain close the vocals are still slapping
Some of these jokers are still laughing

Too many reason why we hustle
Many reasons why we pray (Gotta pray)
Tryna put my momma on
Make she see some better days
Make my pikin no go see some of the things wey men dey face
Too many reason why we hustle
Many reasons why we pray (Gotta pray)
Tryna put my momma on
Make she see some better days
Make my pikin no go see some of the things wey men dey face

Way back at seventeen he started putting out the records
That he made at home with that webcam mic I still remember
Coming up them wack lines, thinking I was clever
Performing at the end of the year gig in December
Felt the world would gravitate if he had kept it real as ever
Then I met the hommie Kannon, and we both were getting better
But I had to take a different path, believe in what i'm about
Still i'm thankful for the vibes we caught on the route
Now I might just drop a classic that's sicker than illmatic
Wanna do it for the culture, but the culture tryna kill rappers
At least the real ones
I found the fountain of life to drink from
So even when I die man i'll live on
They tell you be a man, but even when I cry i'm still strong
I pick longevity to big overnight or a hit song
Careful of how I portray prosperity to the lil' ones
Authentic is what i've been, and so my heart is where I spit from

Too many reason why we hustle
Many reasons why we pray (Gotta pray)
Tryna put my momma on
Make she see some better days
Make my pikin no go see some of the things wey men dey face
Too many reason why we hustle
Many reasons why we pray (Gotta pray)
Tryna put my momma on
Make she see some better days
Make my pikin no go see some of the things wey men dey face
