sing about me (intro)

stuck in this life

stuck in the prison

stuck by perception and lack of vision

stuck by design

not by decision

stuck in my ways

stuck in the system

i'm stuck

but fuck having an image

i really be fuckin' with you 'cause you don't be rappin' them gimmicks

your vernacular is something supreme

surpassing the limits

see my everyday struggle was actually academics my nigga

you got it mastered

i'd be considered the average

joe

but in these streets i've adapted well to these tactics

impregnated with sin

made money my wife

and that's 'cause a lexus is valued more than a life in my hood

i heard your papa got murdered when you was young

seen an interview

you spoke on emotion

how you was numb

but you still grew and did it congruent to doing something you love

i think it's love how you made it out where you from

see the truth is an art that even the hardest can feel

spit that block shit

you need to get back with marty for real

i'm glad he fought his appeal

'cause when them crackers tryna crack you they make you targets for real

but tell me god isn't real

the very thought of a skill that dedication could nurture

furthers my intuition that hesitation could hurt you

be strong

be humble

be wise

be on your shit

be quick on your feet

be hip to these niggas that's on your dick

real shit

stay up on your focus and observation

pick your friends by characteristics and conversation

good word is worth more than a billion

fuck celebrity

money should never motivate man

more than integrity

see

they trapped my body but never could take my mind

i had every watch that money could buy

but wasted time

pushed every car a nigga could dream but lacked the drive

to take the smarter road so to speak

but that was pride

the black race is no rat race

a competion

i can't even get a letter from bitches i sponsored

trickin'

tricked into thinking it was some loyalty to this shit

that she would see me locked and treat me like royalty in this bitch

you got something special

and your speech is specified

it's like an extra vibe that keeps your message electrified

see i was known for packing a mac

crackin' a forty

stackin'

mackin' a shorty

back and forth in new york

niggas pushin' packages for me

all that hazardous glory

the pressures of perseverance

won't let my passions ignore me but

ashes to ashes

we're living life like a movie verse really mappin' the story

i won't be back 'til i'm forty but i promise this

all my future achievements and accomplishments

will be based on cognitive equity and consciousness

but you can't buy a soda

it ain't for sponsorship

this for my real street niggas

shorty you are the shit

i got niggas all in the pen sayin' you hard as shit

and i don't do friendships

i do partnerships

you play your part

i play my part

and we go far as shit

remember steel sharpen steel so it still ain't no reason to let niggas chill around you if they dull as shit

'cause when all this shit said and done and we call it quits

i hope that your legacy shine

press down

shake it and run it seventy times

i wish you heaven divine

a million blessings a line

i pray it's never a second your brilliant essence decline

i say this shit just to say i used all these lessons to climb

so every time i felt lost

the more direction i find

your rare essence in mind

is rooted beyond deep

like pac said

the rose that grew from the concrete

is you

i watched you full out bloom in a dark room

unfold from the inside then flew out of your cocoon

your imagination

concentration

fascination

to trial and tribulation

to master your transformation

i hope you take this message in with all of your growth

hit the studio

make a mixtape

and call it the g.o.a.t

peace
