You either the nigga you know you are
Or find out you ain't who you think you is
Echoes from my mirror keep my spirit cleansed
Wasting Gods potential is the only sin
Just shed another tear again
Always a rare occasion when a nigga vent
When you gain success you lose so many friends
While others start requesting in
Watched blood amongst ken get thin and blend
At this point, I only shake my head and grin
Sarcastic though it gets intense
Thought I had space but I need more indents, from many men
Who claim life's chess but done let checker players win again
Confused
Anything to keep up with the joneses trend
You lose
Your angles too obtuse
So tryna find parallels between us is of no use, so true
See I was given less and made more
Just imagine my fate if my mind state stayed poor
Hands dirty, heart pure, sacrifices fought for
Grateful for it all but still pinching grains of salt Lord
Bring sand to the beach until all accounts are offshore
Amongst all I want I want more, for everybody on board
Cause once you know-a-arc your aim gon make your blessings flood doors
Ain't too many obstacles the high ain't got us up for
Praise to the essence
The only reason why I can capture these blessings
The only why reason you niggas can stand in my presence
A 1 of 1 in my city, already callin me legend
How I'm 'posed to feel?
Between a ways to go and niggas never made it here
Shit, but nigga make it where?
So many times I've made it clear, this ain't a story 'bout-
Most of the shit this rap game give you glory 'bout
Integrity's worth more than being awarded clout
Could drown the world with all the lies these niggas pouring out
I'm just a nigga with perspective, chose myself and manifested
Saw it won't no lane for us and carved it out
Shit, look
See I'm from the same broken home most have known
Father gone, momma work to survive, so the streets I roamed
And there I've grown, my imperfections where I atone
We was taught to distribute deals before we made a song
Since we was kids close friends never made it home
I always knew my path was different
Never thought it'd be through poem
Typa shit is God given you could never clone
My words solid nigga everything I say in stone
Sincerely
