Bigger Than Myself (Demo)

Turn 'em, turn 'em, turn the noise and headphones down
Good morning baby
I woke up today man
Let's say that I woke up today man
Thank God

Ladies and gents or whatever you identify as
Let's get together, government fear that shit like the triads
You'll never grow your green while watching my grass
Keep your eyes on the test in front of you
You might pass but you will pass away
Crippling thought, that's what some happen to say
But that's what got me going so hard rapping today
Living forever on record, tell 'em press play
Verbal time capsule, you picture in better days

But that's because I'm earnest, verbiage like Hemingway's
This Kendrick with seven spliffs ready to levitate
Good artists copy the greats, they tend to trace
And if art is like life, then somebody paved the way
Just looking at how they did it, figured it out today
It ain't gon' take them three to see the gifted while they
One track minded to hustle just like Jay
But I will eat to that man if he stepping my way

'Cause this is bigger than myself
I want this for everyone, this is bigger than my wealth
The block is higher 'round gotta live a life of stealth
They leave and never come back 'cause they ain't tryna melt

Yeah this is bigger than myself
I want this for everyone, this is bigger than my wealth
The block is higher 'round, gotta live a life of stealth
They leave and never come back 'cause they ain't tryna melt

Fuck how you felt about me, that don't get me paid
And money brings the changes around us for better days
They throw dollars at these cases and all this shit goes away
Throw dollars at every sentence, it could be over today
My nigga Kel's home and that's home where he can stay
That dream became a goal, I'm staying focused while they pray
There's a God in all of us, plans of actions was made
If we doing the Lord's work, we do it for no pay

Except knowing you did the right thing
My girls thoughts of business ambition, it could be frightening
But we barely had enough, they teased us, made us like bling
So we coming at your neck, tryna get all of the finer things
LLCs, tax IDs, this how we pool resources, give you stacks of IVs
Let 'em grow so the bills only scratch my sleeves
And I can believe when my ladies say it's not that deep

Family drowning in debt, for their mistakes they made the safest
Gotta return the favors and then we gon' change the neighbors
And I mean in the best sense, not talking relocation
More like elevation for my kinfolk that's melanated
They rather pacify us than make legitimate changes
The constitution told you if all fathers was racist
Blessings for themselves and their posterity will take it
As we possess what us and their natives have cultivated

'Cause this is bigger than myself
I want this for everyone, this is bigger than my wealth
The block is higher 'round, gotta live a life of stealth
They leave and never come back 'cause they ain't tryna melt

Yeah this is bigger than myself
I want this for everyone, this is bigger than my wealth
The block is higher 'round, gotta live a life of stealth
They leave and never come back 'cause they ain't tryna melt

This shit bigger than you
Yo man these niggas be saying some real shit on the low bro
But they tryna put the medicine in the candy so y'all niggas can turn up to it
I'm a straight shooter though
I'ma tell y'all niggas what it is
Holla
