Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been the only real nigga in a lot of fake situations That shit a big reason why I lost a lot of patience You got to be the bigger man and when he's a little racist They wanna watch you 'round the clock with all these different faces Crazy how we went from empty stages to these dinners That look like we was the Masons No matter the location, I'd pull up and they'd engage us Like fuck accolades or praise, [?] celebration That's how my local Mamba Mentality activated The defense through organizations, I was born to break it My last decade was a practice and my poise and patience Has been a journey but I know that I'm supposed to make it Could keep them calculations Just place me in between Kareem and Hakeem While I whip the Land Cruiser like an S15 When they ask "Is that a Simpson?" Yes, indeed Like you put an application and they get them Ds, nigga They say I embody killin' limitations I'm submerged in the cup with deep concentration Way too potent to debate with simple expectations Some of y'all fightin' the truth thinkin' you fightin' Satan I only know it 'cause I done it too, the same for hatin' Had to get right back into it, make the conversation I don't follow aspirations, only transformations They can't help but overlook, get on investigations Gotta be brazen to validate them speculations I don't got an audience that will require chasin' They love the way I switch to anger with consistent cadence Holla when [?] with the combinations A silver surfer, never need identification My words and my floatation, no chromatic aberration The glass is at a frequency to handle aggravation I'm contraband, so let the station call the congregation [Verse 2] Highly blessed, motivated, yet unlikely stressed The tribulations of this life is bringin' mighty tests I'm used to dancin' with the reaper in the dark It's the reason I've been keepin' something sparked closest to the chest Puttin' work in on a platform for another step Broken boundaries became background in the humble quest Still around the corner throwin' my potential set The view is different when you climbin' from another crest Turned the mud into cement and built a structure with it Learned to punch above my weight, that's how I crush the limits Seen the problem as a puzzle I would love to finish My favourite feeling, when you know you worked for something different I put my mark in every word If you trace it then the blueprint gets revealed to the deserved Leave my messages for those who didn't know if they'd be heard Now I'm passin' out the language, how to make a table turn All that shit I came to talk, from the shit I went to learn With the spirit of a phoenix, you could live with gettin' burnt 'Cause as far as I'm concerned, all this talk just let me stay preserved I was seasoned for a reason for the strength to get disturbed, listen I gave enough to get it back and run it up with interest Turned the substance into style, freshen up the image Track the miles, watch 'em chase to catch a flow of livin' Make a special case to break it down and take commission If it ain't money on my story, then I'm never trippin' My best performances were always in a clutch condition Let OGs know the pen is never tucked or slippin' We play for legacy, it's deeper than the recognition
