Finish the Race Video (MV)

Been sittin' here for a while
Looking at this rubble, I've been sifting through the pile - in denial
Way they murk us in the streets, it's hard to bear the shit wild
Trying to end the stigma of a pistol with my style
My brother beat his case, he went free before the trial
Gave ya boy a smile for real
Don't know how bein ideal feel
If they stick my dawg in the kennel I don't know how I'mma deal
They tried to put 23 on his back 'cuz he got Mike skill
Man them cracker prolly salty 'cuz he blacker then pepper
Got me livid, 'cuz this system, it ain't actually better
Tried to throw the book at him, start his sentence like a capital letter
Just made his pen stronger, craft getter better
Now we're focused on purposing our Kraft for the cheddar
Put form to thinking stuff and act in the certain way
For everything show gratitude - connects you to the Source
For all the blessings you been granted are really too vast to measure
Power and pain, passion and pleasure
She took my heart up out my chest and I happily let her
It's more about the way that I actually met her
Said to "shoot your shot" so I grabbed the Beretta
All is war in love and war
And boy she's killing them in that backless dress
Yeah she bare arms, and she's gunning for
Your heart 'cuz feelings are more addictive than your drug of choice
End up drugged, drag you through the mud just like a tug of war
Codeine dreaming 'til I had a nightmare, nothing like fear
Spare the story, knew it wasn't for me it was quite clear
But damage done, yeah ya man numbed by the fight here
Popped a pill, now, less feeling like light beer
Still, I'm just trying to say what's on my heart to you and keep it real
Ize that you're Divine, you've got more power than you know
This one's for the ones who've sold everything but their soul
TMC my nigga, just stay focused on the goal
Harness all your energy
Focus on the synergy
Everyday that I improve and grow, that's a win to me
Self doubt is a sin to me
Message to my inner me
"You the only one could beat you," I'm my only enemy
I know that you feel yourself, but got to more than fill your space
Metal vault with hella cash, the only way I'm feeling safe
Invest in yourself like a business
Treat yourself like real estate
I ain't never lost the vision
Zoning but still awake
You're the bag, go secure yourself
Then procure the wealth
Broken, had to take a trip inside my soul to heal myself
Every day's a blessing - another chance to be had
Had to hop up out the Chevy, had to hop in a Jag
Had to hop out my feelings, had to hop in my bag
Yeah I'm closer to that now than that white lady that clutch purse
Every time I pass by, sometimes makes me ask, "why?"
But thankful for the little things, 'cuz it could be so much worse
Yea I wanna see you win, we're playing on the Buffs turf
Yeah I wanna ride for you but got to make me trust first
So much heartbreak, is it patience or am I just cursed
And what's worse? Her love was my bubble and it just burst
I force a smile through tough times but I'm frustrated
Hoping they gon' notice the vision in what I just painted
Wishing that my life was more colorful, but I'm just faded
Wishing my account was a lil' heavier but I just weighed it
Shit could use a good meal, sorry if just plate it
Too simple with you, started drifting when the trust faded
Wishing that I didn't have to cut her when the lust faded
Wishing that I had a new model, should've upgraded
Why it's not enough for me?
You done had it rough for me
You just wanted love from me
I just wanted company
Mean, I had a business to run and couldn't discuss nothing
And no one likes being on the side, like hush puppies
I'm just finna stack my cake, something like the wedding day
RIP to Freddy Gray
I load a chopper, let it spray, when I'm on the mic
I'm something like St. Nick
They're like, "yeah, he got presence, in his bag, and plus I bet he slay"
Yeah I'm in my Louie wit it
Too embarrassed to admit it
If I say I copped it in Chinatown, it'd be too specific
F*ck I look like? Big bag, mom's struggling
Hustle every 24, bars on Sutherland
Do this for my sister, 'cuz she just had her another kid
Do this for my brother 'cuz he probably in some other pen'
Life giver - Alkebulan, bars on motherland
Style on mothership, boy I'm on some other shit
You don't want to try me, an army is what I'm coming with
Eat your heart out and your blood is what I'll be covered with
I said I overate like an asterisk, yeah I'm gluttonous
Z - I'm on my V for Vendetta shit, yeah I'm deading shit
You rappers only read it on Reddit, you never done this shit
You niggas living backward, you're Benjamin on his butt and shit
Everybody tough, ain't no fighting, young niggas gunning shit
Everybody holding the heat, but ain't got no oven mitt
Bussing quick, young niggas out here dumping like it's nothing
They touch him and the blood is gushing
His mama crying, they rush him
To ICU and I see you not trippin', but I'm disgusted
They hit his head - no concussion - with drums, ain't no percussion
I'm sick, no Robitussin
Depression, it ain't no question
Our leaders under suspicion but really there's no discussion
They do whatever they please, the people we mean nothin'
We've never seen reparations, we only seen repercussions
Yeah we're crying rape,' cuz they violate every set of rights
They slut shame us, call us violent and forget our rights
I'm just saying no justice when we go to bed at night
Finna keep my faith while I'm manifesting a better life
They say you're looking for the boss, so they sent for me
A clean bandit - got it sounding like a symphony
A smooth criminal - Conrad Murray, I'm killing mics
Signifies the rage and frustration that I feel inside
I'm sipping wine in the synagogue and it symbolize (what?)
The symmetry of the men of God and the devilish
I skipped communion when Jonny died on some petty shit
All I could do just to be there, that was some heavy shit
Already promised my nigga that I would never quit
Niggas toast when that boy get to baking
Plus I drop crack, eggs in the pan, but I never break fast, y'all niggas pull the lever quick
With my forever clique
Hold my vision, it's like I got my dream cast in a mold, on some Sega shit
Super Sonic and the old me is my nemesis
I'm Mega Man when I'm pulling up in that genesis
There's a science to getting rich, apply it and get your paper
You're never to be competitor, only to be creator
In that way, you're unstoppable
Yeah I'm just trying to be the best me possible
Build an army of gold soldiers and let em do my bidding
I'm too committed to shining on em, my jewelry hitting
I'm still addicted to blue hundreds and boujee women
I'm tryna make it pop, they're happy with their 2D image
No, I ain't after the credits, this ain't a Marvel movie
I'm just trying to spread the message that was giving to me
Live in the house, hop in the car
Mentally drive that shit 'til you feel like it is yours
I'm just tryna feed family, feed your soul and be a beacon of light
And keep it a thousand when I speak in the mic
Hope you're envisioning your greatness while you're sleeping at night
Love this life that gave me purpose, gave me the reason to write
Love the strife, the pain, the sadness 'cuz it gave me the strength
I'll be here for the duration, yeah I'm going the length
He said if you want fish, then let's go to the lake
Yeah, the marathon continues, we gon finish the race
