From da Ground Up
Kigali is my home
One day it'll be my throne
City of the ones foregone now
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
Say what's up
What's up
Always so faded
This a nod to Dot, KDot
One of the greatest
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
Feel the pressure so I rub it on my skin
Fuck a procreation might die old no next of kin
I'm from a generation where power comes from within
Don't pay me by the hour my worth would make that a sin
I'm meant to be creating my music on a daily
Instead I'm working nine to five
And my pride is hurting heavy
It's not about the money, I try
To make independent with my niggas right by my side
These niggas envy
What they see in us is freedom of will
And serenity
And many of them too fake trill
To get my pity
I see em' around my city
All these women looking pretty
But I don't fuck around
Cause a broken heart ain't pretty
You know that's true
So why the fuck you trying to get official
To tell your friends you know a rapper
Is that true
I mean please, I'm barely even a what
I mean please
With every drop the more underground I get
But next time they won't cut me off my set
In due time they will all have to accept
Kigali is my throne
Bitch, I always was the one
Kigali is my home
One day it'll be my throne
City of the ones foregone now
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
Say what's up, what's up
Always so faded
This a nod to Dot, K Dot
One of the greatest
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
The more I spit
The more self conscious I get about it
Cause what's a hit
When the deeper lines become a problem
And they insist I take a shift
Forget about it
I rap weird cause I love it fuck the streams I brought in
I double shift, everyday
I just deal with problems
Within myself ideas are scrambled
I take a step
And realize that taking time is the best offence
And when in doubt
I smoke one up, remind myself
What's meant to happen will happen
Philosophical problems ain't meant for me
Cause even superman bleeds
Cause even superman
Kigali is my home
One day it'll be my throne
City of the ones foregone now
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
Say what's up, what's up
Always so faded
This a nod to Dot, KDot
One of the greatest
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
One day it'll be my throne
City of the ones foregone now
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
But legends born from the ground up now
Say what's up
What's up
Always so faded
This a nod to Dot, KDot
One of the greatest
If you take a walk to the unknown
The risk might take you home
