Perserverance
I know things that I cannot justify with words
I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
I know things that I cannot justify with words
I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
I done seen a lot, been alive still alive still a lot
Going on in my life that I don't talk about
Yet I try move along rolling strong
Hard marijuana I roll it in front of babylon
Walking with my shorty she up with the upper echelon
Skating through customs while she carry my carry on
At this point in my life not a person that I depend upon
But shout out to my family they raised me to be a pantheon
Feel like I was bred for the spiritual marathon
Me verses me inside of the octagon
Person of interest inside the Pentagon
Set to liberate the land that I was set upon
King of my castle I'm not a set of pawns
Here in the booth with my brother parmesan
Transform until I'm ahead of my prime
Feel like Optimus optimizing my grind
I know things that I cannot justify with words
I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
I know things that I cannot justify with words
I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
Ugh
I'm from the city where they start off playing with cap guns
Now they loot with hand-held magnums
Ain't no capping we the bad guys what society told you
They take your brain try to mold you
Since school they try to scold you
"Get your CXCs and get a job!"
You could get 'em all and still be underqualified
And we rated in the top six most expensive places to live
Cost of living make you wanna hit a lick
And we only a hunnid' and sixty six square miles
Looking at the globe and you can't even see us and that's crazy
Matter fact
If it wasn't for Rhianna
Most of y'all would still be non believers to the fact this island even exists
So lemme show you how we live
Lemme teach you how it is
Rewind this record let it hit
I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
I know things that I cannot justify with words
I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
I done seen a lot, been alive still alive still a lot
Going on in my life that I don't talk about
Yet I try move along rolling strong
Hard marijuana I roll it in front of babylon
Walking with my shorty she up with the upper echelon
Skating through customs while she carry my carry on
At this point in my life not a person that I depend upon
But shout out to my family they raised me to be a pantheon
Feel like I was bred for the spiritual marathon
Me verses me inside of the octagon
Person of interest inside the Pentagon
Set to liberate the land that I was set upon
King of my castle I'm not a set of pawns

Transform until I'm ahead of my prime
Feel like Optimus optimizing my grind

I've done things that I know that I cannot reverse
I know things that I cannot justify with words
