You been producing for how long
Nigga where are your hits
I had a few spikes
But that's really bout it
Why you take time off
You was hitting your groove
I had just became a father
I had a lot of shit to do.
Ayooo listen here nigga
Don't that sound like excuse
I experienced corporate burnout
Depression induced
Trying to push a way forward
Only to be reduced
To other's expectations
Where their love
Kinda like a weapon
They want you to do great
But only under their direction
Stabbed by my loyalty
To remain under their discretion
Why'd you stop
Stop what, dog
Living
I was desperate to fit in
Knowing I can't be living
Alone
So again
You was in the zone
Why you stop
You could've been so much further along
I don't know
You've countered my every action
I was just answering to get your
Satisfaction.
And that's exactly why all off center
Don't you think that's ok for you to step
Outside and be the winner
But if I do it my way
There's the criticism
Having to the explain the vision
Dead set on the next mission
Man, fuck that
Fuck them
Only you can truly be you
You moving with integrity
You got a plan
Go see it through
I don't know
There's so much at stake
One wrong move
And all that time is wasted away

I don't know bro
I don't know yo
I'm quite unsure
Don't know where to go
Yo, No sé
No entiendo
Nani
Man I just don't know

I don't know bro
I don't know yo
I'm quite unsure
Don't know where to go
Yo, No sé
No entiendo
Nani
Man I just don't know

Oh to be young, black and gifted
Brown golden child
Family's uplifted
Oh to be young, black and gifted
Acknowledged for winning
Mistakes to be forgiven
Oh to be young, black and gifted
Brown golden child
Family's uplifted
Oh to be young, black and gifted

Bless-ed be thy name
As he Shepard's his flock
I was born from good stock
Already easily locked
To become anything imaginable
And then you witness
It's hard to understand you have limits
Growing up
Being told you can do anything
If your hearts in it
Everything becoming a sickness
Doing things that you love
Feel electric and off center
And with the quickness
Suck it up
And be the model of persistence
The first to graduate college
What an honor
You got a thirst to obtain all this knowledge
How you turn out
A fucking millennial burn out
How ironic
You set out to be iconic
Now despondent
Looking at your texts
And can't respond back
And even beyond all that
When you fallback
You think that time erases all that
All the flames and destruction
You think that's unrelated
Brown golden child
Ready to be detonated

Oh to be young, black and gifted
Brown golden child
Family's uplifted
Oh to be young, black and gifted
Acknowledged for winning
Mistakes to be forgiven
Oh to be young, black and gifted
Brown golden child
Family's uplifted
Oh to be young, black and gifted
