F.T.K. (For the Kids)

Look
I intend to go in as I write this song
Feeling the buzz it's like a drug
I feel the love and I ain't comin down
But we don't do the same drugs or different drugs
Or any other type of drugs for that matter
That line was for the kids
Still pursuing a higher purpose walking a righteous path
Still persistent I stay on a mission to be a present Dad
They said a black man don't ride for his and I say it's cap
Spitting real facts about real life that's the purpose of rap
Ain't it
But that's lost on way too many so we takin it back
Takin it back
They call it living your best life when you destroy your temple
All of the toxic traits is hyped up to disrupt the mental
Living for self is detrimental
Irregardless if your favorite rapper tells you
Stunting on them folks is fundamental
Or flexing or flossing whatever they call it
We get it you balling
Yeah
Whatever
It's not an accomplishment
Throwing that in our faces
Turn around say we haters
Like go check on your neighbor do a favor be a blessing for a day
Swap the ish out for the less and put the selfieness away
Quit disseminating the worst of us
Giving the world a reason to stay insinuating the worst in us
We stay incriminating ourselves because
We boast with every post and put the filter
Over the picture clouding a vision of the real us
Tryna impress the wrong ones
Claiming to be the realest
When all we really want is for them to feel us do you feel me
When this life gets overwhelming tell me
Where should we go
I used to whip it to the mall and try to buy half the store
But all of your racks and things can't patch up
Complications that you living in
Look I'm just tryna show you what you missing and
Paint a different picture than
What the culture tells us
We gotta do to win
Cuz I know you feelin empty
Even if you rocking Fendi
Yeah
Why did we take God out the picture
