Victory Speech

Lyrics

[Intro: JK-47] I had a moment of truth It told me Everything you require from this life is right beside of you And it don't matter what they try to do Only one can do what I can do [Verse: JK-47] If they asked how I was feelin' I doubt they'd even comprehend a word that I spoke 'Cause chasin' paper made 'em spiritually broke More than a milli, I'm tryna turn this pen into hopes Seen money turn too many friends into foes Yet I never let the cream get ever between me and my folk If I got it, then we got it, gotta know it's no joke Mighta seem like I forgot but I been locked in the zone With the team, soundin' like we 'bout to conquer the globe While listenin' to all the legends, I pick apart each word said Tryna make sense of the lesson within each sentence Lookin' back at the past to properly process the present The message, I confess, is esoteric, they rarely get it Aware of where I'm headed, a lot of dead ends where I come from Lot of problems too, you don't want one Done a lot of things that can't be undone and can't run from I just wanna see my loved ones live in abundance And my mother [?], told me, "Son, rise up 'Cause them fellas that you runnin' with might try and take you under" And that shit ain't intentional, it's just emotion But if them fellas weren't tryna grow then I had to ghost 'em I had the notion, that like an eagle I would see the whole word across the ocean Never did it on my own, this what my creator put in motion I carried this load knowin' I was chosen, and so I own it Quit postin' moments of my life online, it's time I got my mind right Instead I lead the blind, blind I take my time when I speak, really tryna teach truth to these kids Had to grow through the struggles so when the shoe fits, you learn from it And then proceed on your journey Droppin' jewels since a young'un, these fellas musn't a heard me They keep thinkin' that their words don't matter, that's what's concernin' me 'Cause speakin' hell up on yourself is just absurd to me And personally, I don't get down like that 'Cause what you give out to the universe gon' bounce right back Nah, never get down like that Every verse was written purposefully, now look where we at It's like that [Interlude: JK-47] I'm tellin' you Be careful of what you speak Be mindful of what you be talkin' about What you are speakin' into existence over your life We have the power to both build and destroy Y'know? The real battle ain't fought in flesh and blood But in spirit And this tongue? This tongue is our sword Our sword that we use to defeat the enemy And claim the victory I don't care what they say (They check the size of the shoe, but they ain't livin' in 'em) Because I don't talk how they talk (So why the fuck would I listen in to their criticism?) I'm speakin' life, I'm speakin' love Over my community And over my country (Tell these labels keep their fame and their jewellery) Yeah, this that regrowth Harvest seeds that we sow, taste what we know Yeah
