Molasses

Everything I do is for the grand finale
Moving like the tortoise, through the fastest rally
Walked, thru blocks, full of ops, never ran in Cali
But hopped a couple fences, in the baddest alleys
Momma asking how we, feel bout relocating
Down, cuz I had some things I thought it'd help me keep from facing
Building a table, tired of hearing, that this seat is taken
Practicing patience, even if it means I leave em waiting
I seen the blatant, disrespect of those with expectations
But still I pause for clarity, like meditation
Helping others like a charity, never hating
I'm half an angel, to my maker ain't no separation
My other half a stray demon this a demonstration
Des is aiming for a better nation though no segregation
Resignation, we need the leader in Revelations
Until then, I'm here to give you an education

DEF davyne, the definition of self made
Went to college, got the knowledge of a master
I done came a long way since the 12th grade
Went and spent 100k, on some classes
Debt, like a chain, on my neck, I'm a failed slave
Independent though, even own, my old masters
Every move, like my songs, well played
Easy come, easy go, this molasses

Yeah, I still remember age 12
Throwing papers after school, just to make mail
Never been a snake, but I always made a great snail
Broken home, growing slow, in a fake shell
Meeting, with my demons, keep my thugs, all in harmony
No blood, just art in me, like drugs in a pharmacy
Thinking of harming me, my angels coming with an armory
Kulture Wave, coming up out of my body like I'm Cardi B

Longevity that's how I keep the crown
Opposite of brevity, I'll aways be around
Flawed heavily, but you've never see me drown
Cuz God cleverly left me the biggest seat in town
Buried on a throne, under 6, feet of ground
Why I jest with jesters, but never speak to clowns
Castle walls standing tall, bridge, leave it down
No more beating round the bush, they believe me now

In my own lane, going slow, as molasses
Picture, a picture vs. paint, on a canvas
Haters wanna hate, let em go, let em pass us
Real ones know, we showing strength, with our manners
Not a joke, or a hoax for the cameras
Never dropped out, always showed up in classes
Let's make a toast, raise up ya glasses
To our growth, this a whole, different chapter
