The Way

Uh Yo
I jumped off the porch and then started making moves
To hustle highly aggressive, I knew that paper ruled
Unfavored but educated, I used to play the fool
But now I'm up before the alarm, I no longer play the snooze
Proceed to plan out my day in this game that I choose
I wonder which street should I surf and which wave should I cruise
Already got my sneakers wet in this pavement, my shoes
Is water-proof, I'm never slipping, my laces is grooved
A bruised champion of sorts in a chamber of fools
To them, another black nigga with dangerous views
Seeing the world through tinted scopes and the ways of Jesus
Views of black militance, by noon I'll be making the news
True, advanced, social training, the stages is new
Instead of a plate of food, I need a couple tables too
Some LED spotlights to highlight the way that I view
Must make a way for me so I can make a way for you

Gotta find a way

Yeah Uh
A couple years older now, I got grays in my beard
Still in my thirties, just was raised in ways that was weird
I grew up dirty, been engaged in this world all these years
I learned a lot, but never picked up the language of fear
I hesitated, but I never froze-up or was scared
Just meditated as I distanced myself from my peers
Crafted a king's state of mind as I painted my square
Then watched the game fade back to my state of affairs
I close my eyes and I can picture the days that I've seen
Try not to sleep cause I might never awake from this dream
Tried not to speak, but it gets deep, I've been waging with pain
All in my sleep, pour it on beats, it's the way that I'll gain
Love thy neighbor, just never do what the neighbors do
You'd rather me aim at myself than to aim at you
You getting paper? My nigga, I'm getting paper too
Must make a way for me, so I can make a way for you

Gotta find a way

Uh Yo
I hopped out the porsche and started breaking rules
I hustled way to aggressive, so now they taking clues
Of everything around me, my sacred jewels
Acknowledged, but never forgotten, they see the way I move
Mr. Tee, I'll never pity or play the fool
I'll forever be just a clever, gritty, and flagrant dude
My enemies get energy from they state of views
But who raised you, you going against the way that's true
Nowadays you'd just rather get it the fast way
While lies circle the world the truths makes it halfway
Information moves fast in a bad way
I'm burning money, while I'm using the world as my ashtray, uh
I'm in the art of explaining the unexplainable
Obtainable artist for commission, I'm tryna paint for you
You getting paper? My nigga, I'm getting paper too
Must make a way for me, so I can make a way for you

Gotta find a way

Some rise some fall, some win some lose
Know I get mine, this path I choose
I trust my lust, I play by rules
A tattered king in a land of fools
I always came in last
Still I'm ten toes down on my path
I'm bound to find a way
To find a way
To find a way
