The Culmination

I feel like every track is like a lotto ticket
Lookin at TV like one day I know they'll call my number
Back when we was livin check to check, shit I don't miss it
But that did give me all the strength I needed to come up
Never again for my family if I can help it
And peel some racks for my niggas fuck being selfish
I'm all the way on that generational wealth tip
Even if it don't work out I hope y'all felt it
Yeah
That's just the wave that I'm on, lately I stay in the zone
I'm done playin, I said I'm done playin
Told y'all The Demo was comin, sorry I've taken so long
I had to deal with myself, I know
So many souls on the way to being legends
I can feel the energy in the air
Everybody asking how I'm doing
For the next couple minutes I'm eager to share
Yeah

This music's therapeutic
Feelin like I can barely breathe and the air's polluted
But I keep mining like the canary's muted
No tellin where it's movin
Or where I'm willing to take it
Breaking boundaries to change my life
But prepared to lose it
To be honest faded or sober ain't slappin lately
My only solace is seeing us on the map
Uh
These last years been a circus like Barnum and Bailey
But don't worry the real one is still intact
Cuz I, I goes for mine
I gots to shine
I jot these lines
For everybody who know what's up
And feel this music's the best part of waking up like Folgers cups
Soldiers struggling over some shit that's barely tangible
Ain't no manual for us
Emmanuel just throw us the rock and tell us run with it
So how could you not come with it
With the unmitigated gall
To prove to the people you the one
Yeah
The struggle's right up the alley for me and mine
Blessings to you and yours
The destiny's been in scribed
Prophecy talk and talkin these profits is my M.o
The Demo's comin
Honestly thought that you'd never get it like Vogue
But I'm focused man
Brim low like tune
Blind to everything but the flow
No pun intended
Never let em make me feel afraid to do something different
And no apologies
Either way this life's unforgiven
Stuntin on everybody who doubted
I'm bout it this year
The shit that we're creating's on alchemist tier
Uh
Hope the ops cry out a river and drown in the tears
And when I say I'm happy I'm sounding sincere
Bit off way more than I can chew, it's a mouthful
Glutton for punishment what will this shit amount too
Luckily I was crazy enough to outmaneuver the subconscious thoughts
Trying to keep me reaching this altitude
I realize I'm my greatest hater and biggest fan
Shit almost took me out of here but Satan tipped his hand
I guess the one watchin over me had bigger plans
Now we decipher bar codes like a ticket scan
Not afraid to ware my worse mask to Mardi Gras
No rose tints on these records exposing all these flaws
Don't want to walk in my pa's prints word to Naughty Dog
On some real shit
The same way that I started off
Reppin to see preconceptions dead in the tomb
All them skeletons comin out like them freakum dresses in June
It's heated and getting heavy
The elephant in the room is weighing on me
My conscience tellin me let that thing off the leash
Lived a Reality that phew can relate too
But hell of a debut for this late bloomer
We made it through the long winter
Strong as ever
Rout's deep
With our eyes to the sky and ready for next season
Yeah
