Can't Be Stopped

But he had a special talent
To take all the street energy
And translate them into high art

Okay now I'm not new to pain or gain or none of that
I've been pacing things no use in rushing that
I'd stop the music if I lost the fun in that
I cut off a model chick she running back
Like Walter Payton verbatim I said I need the paper baby
Ultimatums is fatal for your pride no changing
Who I am you either with the plan or getting canne'd
Like the film fest these days I'm feeling blessed
Nobody matching up your favourites got some catching up
To do or tell 'em pack it up it's way too much they're lacking now
Every beat and verse is ashes now but I'm not black and mild
I'm black and proud and all that cash I'm tracking down
On my Jason Bourne the vase upon my minds table
Holds the flowers that they're hesitant to put my name on
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
I've been an outlier proudly now I'm outshining everybody

Hustle is the plan til I drop
That's why I can't be stopped
Trust me you ain't did what I did
You ain't lived how I lived
That's why I can't be stopped
I put in the work like a bid
Said goodbye to my fears
That's why I can't be stopped
I stuck to the code
I don't owe nobody but myself ho
That's why I can't be stopped

Before I wanted to make sure
That I wanted make something better than my colleague
Now the rappers are saying
Oh, I can make that too
And they're making the same exact record
That's where we're at right now

Tired of raps from you hopeless folks who focus on excuses
I shine some light for those who really do this
See I got sons and step ones too
And tell my daughters that I do it for 'em too
You rappers is all image all cynics and all timid
The All-Being carved me to a bar menace
Whose down to do some foul shit like Artemis
If I don't get what I'm owed like lang syne
This fly talk like pie talk but why flex?
Cause my mic checks like off-white in Pyrex
Huh I keep it 2 Virgils like Van Dijk Abloh
I'm like 50 meets Ye meets Fiasco
And in this one that I'm living in
I've given in to sex stress and dividends
It's taught me not to give a damn
No picket signs within my mind I won the war
And everything I can imagine is what I am gunning for

Hustle is the plan til I drop
That's why I can't be stopped
Trust me you ain't did what I did
You ain't lived how I lived
That's why I can't be stopped
I put in the work like a bid
Said goodbye to my fears
That's why I can't be stopped
I stuck to the code
I don't owe nobody but myself ho
That's why I can't be stopped
