Income Streams

I ain't really into self promotion
But I sit back and celebrate
I made it through these hellish oceans
When waves came, I was floating
I seen a couple people drown
I don't judge 'em
It get hard to see where the coast is
I'm just pouring into my Gnosis
That's the knowledge of myself
Like kelp see it floating closer
I know my wealth, this ain't braggadocios
They hate to see a young nigga focused
Nowadays
I fight to get these parasites out the culture
You talking down on your folks
And I don't condone it
And self hate'll kill your soul
That's the worst opponent
Cuz you look 'em in the mirror
Every night and morning
Slave days 9 to 5, every night you mourn it
And dig deep for a dream
Built on raw emotion
A few income streams
Might put a milli on it
So I need 7 ways to win
Like I'm Jackie Joyner
Yeah

Spend so many nights
Tryna find a way
Always breaking day on it
How we know it work
Honestly, I can't call it
But we got faith
And it brings peace of mind
So I'm down to put it all on the line
All on the line
Yeah

All on the line like, tightrope walking
Talking, growth
Being open
balance hunger, emotion
Your own set of morals promote it
Post ur life on your social
Adding up the attention
You might crash from the total
Became a tool
Fools never could mold you
Say you are what you are
A hammer a hammer
Use the power God gave you to grow you
I chose to be like water, moldable
Most powerful and essential
Still control the flow and view
Open to
Science is
My 3rd eye in alignment with
Healing
And sometimes I go off track, like
Cuz I lost the feeling
Tunnel vision
In this black light
Ultraviolet
Scenes come from center views
World spinning
Can't make a picture
I just see the hues
Children chillin'
Corruption from beginning
Distort the views
Inner engineering
Was born with everything I need to use
The science of operations
My highest in reach
I remember
Glances out the matrix
Seems like distant dreams
In reality
They in me when I go to sleep

Spend so many nights
Tryna find a way
Always breaking day on it
How we know it work
Honestly, I can't call it
But we got faith
And it brings peace of mind
So I'm down to put it all on the line
All on the line
Yeah

What's reward without risk
Play your chips, yeah
You hit a lick
Buy a crib
Don't light your wrist, yeah
Cuz the truth is time's free
So to use it just to flex
Is beyond me
What's a dollar
If a dollar can't buy peace
Which is timeless
If you made it from the concrete
So today I get Geechi on 'em
For all them days
All them floors, I was sleeping on 'em
Yeah yeah
Couple gold chains
Letting them swang
While I'm earning my name
I'ma give my all
'Fore I choose to go
Cuz in the end
It's how the story told
Yeah
