Intro 22'

Coming out my slumber
Roll the wood I stick to lumber
From Mother Earth
I pray the dirt I keep on treading
Never pulls my body under
Sanguine blood and new linguistics
Been sticking to the facts
But the brightest minds don't always trust statistics
I know my team is rocking with this
I want to give them rings of all colors
Like it's the Olympics
Turned the noose around my neck
Into a gold-plated pendant
The hot on top my head say
"Cozy Independent"
This life is gonna pass you by
So don't forget to take a pic
My memories been taking licks
Like bathing in the river Styx
I'm way too dedicated
Hope and pray my Shawty gets it
I place my foot inside the shoe
And force myself to fit it
Psychedelic and eclectic
In the middle of a storm
Watching things become so hectic
There's some problems we collected
Under rugs I know we swept it
We stay smoking on zip
I guess that's how we all address it

My homies passed me the torch
I'm glad I kept it
I've never wanted anything
So bad in my life
I'm come home from work
And just do this until I go to bed
I love this shit

I'm built for taking these blows
My fist was gripping the thorns
But then I grew to a rose
Woah
That's just the way that it goes
I've seen some ones I call friends
Reveal themself as a foe
Woah
I'm just along for the ride
Sometimes I run and I hide
Sometimes I fall to my pride
Yeah
It's hard to fight what's inside
But I stay strong for the living and do this for those who died

This is for all my brothers, 1016 that's forever
For my family and my friends
I can't stop now cause I can't let you down
