Appreciation (feat. Dakoldust)

Pain is passed down from father to son and son to son
A lot of pain in Troy's life is a result of the pain and damage from his father that he then visits on his son
We have to, as black men, be mindful of that. Sometimes it's unfair and sometimes we take it out on those we love
And I'm guilty of that frustration that we all have

But we have a responsibility and a duty to be fathered. Not to just make babies, but to be real father
And you can't expect any good to come to you if you don't visit any good on your son or your daughter
Be a man

Rainy days gave me reasons to appreciate the sunshine
Came from a broken home, I just wanna watch my sunshine
Can't wait, gotta go get mine
Gotta get the dollar sign, put it all on the line
Every single time I'ma ride for mine, that's why I draw the line
Better think before you respond, my word is bond
My buzz light years to infinity and beyond. I am the one

Man, it's reason's why I spit earth, wind, and fire
I'ma get whatever my heart desires in or out, out or in

My element, I'm untouchable. Treat the Beat like a Lunchable
Multidimensional, how the money flow
The come up was remarkable, don't get too comfortable
Even in the dark, I ignite like phosphorous

On the go, ain't nobody stopping this
If you fall off, just peep the change when you leave
Moving forward, thinking back, like that switch up was preposterous
Move with confidence and live each moment because you can't predict life events

That's why I'm conscious of the common sense
Learning from the consequences
Ultimate warrior with the dominance
No tolerance for the nonsense

Since my adolescent years, I was thinking light years ahead
And I ain't loafing when it comes to the bread
I got mouths to feed, so it's my job to keep the family fed

Rainy days gave me reasons to appreciate the sunshine
Came from a broken home, I just wanna watch my sunshine
Can't wait, gotta go get mine
Gotta get the dollar sign, put it all on the line
Every single time I'ma ride for mine, that's why I draw the line
Better think before you respond, my word is bond
My buzz light years to infinity and beyond.
I am the one

I was gravitating towards skies limit
Then a guard for my life blew a whistle and said you're into deep
I said, where your intuition into where it switched back onto me

Niggas is different
The biggest difference is who's third-eyed gifted to their decisions
Finicky call it been asleep

It ain't complete till I centerpiece
The definition of chivalry
Decorated to elevate the simplicity guide to build
Add men astray to a administration I preach a ministry

I want my piece of pie you speaking
My language a little Italy
To this degree, I disagree with bigotry

Crate challenge these pyramid schemes
My fear is making a challenge that a nigga didn't complete
Salt reduced to a liquid tear on my cheek
Formed within the inner me
Cause the enemy, cut deep in the meat

I just want my advance instantly
In the grasp of a eagles feet
Watch the grass they slithering
Rather travel than pivoting

Mastered the outer limiting
Battled demons with utmost consistency

Rainy days gave me reasons to appreciate the sunshine
Came from a broken home, I just wanna watch my sunshine
Can't wait, gotta go get mine
Gotta get the dollar sign, put it all on the line
Every single time I'ma ride for mine, that's why I draw the line
Better think before you respond, my word is bond
My buzz light years to infinity and beyond.
I am the one

Rainy days gave me reasons to appreciate the sunshine

Came from a broken home
I just want to watch my son shine
Can't wait
Gotta go get mine

Gotta get the dollar sign
Put it all on the line
