The 5Foot3 Creed
Yo
And I wish
Oh God, I wish
I wish I could resonate with every single thing
That has been said on this tape, but this?
Yo
This is dream olympics
And the stance of a signboard
Would only make me look like a gimmick
Society's rhetoric
Would only render me a statistic
And the mustard seed I was meant to take care of I've lost
And so, if I resort to stereotyping
Can y'all really blame me?
Acid rap so you know I ain't taking a chance here
So much acid I had to use my own blood for coloring book
See, I've been in the trenches
Long enough to have mastered the art of defying gravity
So much so that
I don't think y'all can even hear me
Not special enough?
Well, it gets better
'Cause I'm supposed to go beast in a moment
Red seas of my soul
I see part, ego, part, pride
And even with the curtains drawn and x-raised vision
My soul stone's gonna stay hidden
It's an in-built algorithm, cos I got the rhythm
Born in a maze so I knew I was amazing
And I've tried to be a beacon, but
Mavis, the type to tell you I'm different
MVP of the Toy Story franchise, I'm buzzing
And this is light years ahead
Do you realize
The disconnect between the beginning and now is this
That when you see a crescent in the sky
That's a symbol that life isn't always going to be perfect
Cos even though our bars stand straight
We still relate to them sickle cells
I'm here to tell you that I'm still broken
Still flawed and I still struggle. But I'm chosen
And because of that I treat every stage like I'm Thanos
And I'm tryna remember something, that's right
I keep snapping
I cannot help my weakness
I can only lift my hands in submission to the one who was blameless
You see fireflies don't try to glow, they just shine
Our five foot threes aren't meant to impress, we don't mind
So this is a prayer
This is confession
This is a mantra
And this is submission
And I wish
Oh God, I wish
I wish I could resonate with every single thing
That has been said on this tape, but this?
Yo
This is dream olympics
And the stance of a signboard
Would only make me look like a gimmick
Society's rhetoric
Would only render me a statistic
