20 Summers
Yeah, I know when this come full circle
They going front like they could always relate
Like they always felt me
Or ever got me in the first place but
Alive and kicking like a toddler
But I'm 20 something
I spent 20 summers grinding
Trying find my come up
Spent a dozen of them lying
Every year I'm coming
Told my brothers we'll be flying
But we sinking under
This is more than pressure
Fighting oppression, depression
Gotta press another man
Who sees you struggling and test ya
Never play fair
And they pray that you will never measure
Up to your potential
Up to the prophecies and projections
I'll shine anywhere just give me a surface
I'ma projector went this long
With Smith & Wesson
A pinch of devine protection
Grandma praying she got seconds
Maybe minutes years ain't destined
I'm just trying reach my peak
And let her see she manifested
Got a gang of wolves depending on me
They don't let me sweat it
But I know I'm special
I know I'm chosen and I can't let it
Be in vein all the veins I done filled
All the caine I done dealt
All the lean I done spilled
All the green I exchange for more green
Ain't that ill I can be just another statistic
I don't make it here fronting like I got the answers
All my failures led me here
I can't front I got some wins
But that don't mean shit if we still
In the first place that we appeared
Alive and kicking like a toddler
But I'm 20 something
I spent 20 summers grinding
Trying find my come up
Spent a dozen of them lying
Every year I'm coming
Told my brothers we'll be flying
But we sinking under
Imagine being Micheal but your Scottie
Think he, Michael
Imagine being Kobe but your Kwame
Think he Bynum
Cut they nose to spite they face
Don't wanna be it just look like it
Your antics holding us all back
Just play from your spot and ride it
Out to the end but instead
You might get pushed off the bench
Every clique got them a Judas
Don't mean I'm accepting
Any of that behavior out of my men
You going pay one way or otherwise
It's possible you'll die where you stand
Been through some wars I fought alone
That you wouldn't last in I took a lost
Standing by y'all you would've lost all your friends
Memory long could recall way back when
That you almost did
Due to fronting, ego and words
Out the side of your neck
I really press buttons you smelled your shit
And made empty threats
I may have came up short
But never made empty promises
Gave you chance after chance
But long behold it is what it is
If you wanna be me then be me
But don't front like you this
Alive and kicking like a toddler
But I'm 20 something
I spent 20 summers grinding
Trying find my come up
Spent a dozen of them lying
Every year I'm coming
Told my brothers we'll be flying
But we sinking under
They going front like they could always relate
Like they always felt me
Or ever got me in the first place but
Alive and kicking like a toddler
But I'm 20 something
I spent 20 summers grinding
Trying find my come up
Spent a dozen of them lying
Every year I'm coming
Told my brothers we'll be flying
But we sinking under
