God's Gift

And I am the greatest
Not that it makes you any less but I Will live in my light for as long as I'm here

What does it profit a man to gain the World but lose his soul?
I guess I'll never know

They say God give tough battles to the toughest soldiers
I was breaking, feeling hopeless
Used that energy to my advantage until I created culture
Waiting until the rain is over
Hoping that my pain brings closure
Dealing with anxiety trying to cop my mom a new Range Rover
All the times I failed
I was trying to get a deal
Went from living in my truth
To almost living in a hell
These niggas claim they be the realest
But the real always prevail
So when you see me with these rappers
Know it's a truth they didn't tell
But I'm not bitter I'm just chasing greatness
How can I lead them through the storm if I don't master patience
And I would never turn my back
I would choose embracing
Cause I remember those rough nights that I was in the same shit
That's just the difference my heart always been so genuine
And I can't change cause I know God made me different
You can see in my penmanship
A bunch of lost souls without guidance
Come get deliverance
If you hang around the snakes then that's the friends you get

Fighting for a better day
Knowing life led them astray
The struggles be blocking your light
They gotta get out the way
Know it's some boys in the hood
They wanna pick up A K
Ready to risk everything
Tired of not feeling okay
I feel your pain and I'm beside you
No matter how deep the darkness
The light was always inside you
Reminiscing of the nights I was fighting just for survival
Rather die next to my honor than ever be a false idol

They say God give tough battles to the toughest soldiers
I was breaking, feeling hopeless
Used that energy to my advantage until I created culture
Waiting until the rain is over
Hoping that my pain brings closure
Dealing with anxiety trying to cop my mom a new Range Rover
All the times I failed
I was trying to get a deal
Went from living in my truth
To almost living in a hell
These niggas claim they be the realest
But the real always prevail
So when you see me with these rappers
Know it's a truth they didn't tell
When they aim low
I'm aiming for the rafters
Felt like Kawhi when he was playing for the raptors
Load managing through the chatter
Soon as you win you see it barely matters
They leaving insecurity up in my comments
Trying to break me
I respond with laughter
I see your soul been through some pain and you can barely take it
So you respond with all that hate and try to slander greatness
And I been standing in my light
And you been trying to fake it
Boy I'm a legend in my city even if I never make it

Fighting for a better day
Knowing life led them astray
The struggles be blocking your light
They gotta get out the way
Know it's some boys in the hood
They wanna pick up A K
Ready to risk everything
Tired of not feeling okay
I feel your pain and I'm beside you
No matter how deep the darkness
The light was always inside you
Reminiscing of the nights I was fighting just for survival
Rather die next to my honor than ever be a false idol

This for the people out there who were always told they weren't good enough
Whoever felt like they weren't good enough
Don't ever let the world take your light from you
That's where all your power is
You will come out wiser stronger better
Go within
Find who you are and be that unapologetically
Shine your light
Jersey
