Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Jay on the beat [Verse 1] Uh, make sure they understand the motive now We sowin' seeds and we ain't slowin' down Destined to rise and that's why they be tryna hold me down I was never holdin' out, gave more at every stage But knew that it was God, because my faith was all that kept me straight I'm sayin' this is more than me, more than a hope and dream I picked up that mic, and I felt like that shit was s'posed to be This how you grow from belief, 'cause we was broke Performin' shows for no fee, but now they speak to us appropriately Y'know the team, ECB, I rep that shit regardless That's how I started, my bros the reason I go my hardest This world is heartless, so we ain't askin' or bargainin' We just aim, hit the target, and leave, then hit restart again Grab the pen and start to vent as if it's therapy Soul flowin' deeper than most, Jay knows I bury beats So instead of tryin' to keep relevance, I seek clarity Keep shit on the low, so these people rarely aware of me But still, they gon' remember us the most Don't cut my hair to show the growth, although I know we still got far to go A free spirit with a heart of gold, and so I never fold for a cheque We rich within, that's why I'm hardly sold They talk about wars, if it's somethin' I hardly know Well, me and [?] in the mirror been goin' toe-to-toe So what you really know about this road? That I been travellin', the shit I seen might damage your soul If you let it, but I stay connected to the source The realest lessons in this life are hardly ever taught This land was never sold, promises never bought So if you stand for peace, you best to be prepared for war It's lore [Interlude] And that's L-O-R-E Not L-A-W Alright, next beat, yes Shout out my babies back home Zuriel, Lauren, I love yous Check, uh, look [Verse 2] In this life, you're my motive And though we both get busy on the grind Hope you forgive me for the times that I don't show it You done so much for me, I wanna let you know I notice Ain't the type to run or leave, wrote this verse for you only 'Cause I know you had a long day, workin', comin' home late Always comin' up, sure, but you've come a long way Told you I'ma marry you, then made you my fiancée So whatever the cost, I'ma pay it just to make sure that we all straight Swear it's the Lord's fate, so let 'em all hate It's me and her against the world, fuck what they all say It's real love, 'cause when I met her, swear my course changed For the better, girl, I swear we'll be together always [Outro] A lot of stuff's been goin' on But I just wanna shout out my wifey for holdin' it down You know we gotta look—we gotta look after our women And most important our—our nans Our aunties, our daughters, our sisters We love you
