Nikko Miles - Strategize Lyrics

I need a whole different strategy
I did away with my vanity
I lost my conscious and sanity
I need a whole different strategy
Battling with my humanity
Hoping my art'll end up in the gallery
I need a whole different strategy
I did away with my vanity
I lost my conscious and sanity
I need a whole different strategy
Battling with my humanity
I done been proud and I done been prejudice I've been angelic and I done been devilish
I keep on hearing the devil new messages I done been bound by the sins of my fetishes
I been ashamed of myself to my relatives praying my siblings do more than I ever did
That's when the light bulb lit up like I'm Edison I gotta put down the liquor and medicine
I need to pray to one day become better than this person that I am here in the present
Gotta let go of my old way of settling I can't be blessed if I'm never a blessing
I gotta visit my G. Ma in Kettering talk to G. Diddy and learn me a lesson
How can I grow when the ruler I measure with already broken wait hold up a second
God take the motherf*cking wheel before I crash it I got the skill like you couldn't imagine
I just never had a deal with Atlantic or Sony or whoever feels I'm worth managing
Started recording to deal with the madness realized it wasn't just merely a habit
Got what it take to go get it and grab it just need a spot I could fill and inhabit
More partnerships to help build up my assets get me a check for a million and cash it
Stash 750 k into my mattress 250 k pay back them classes
Pay off my taxes Stray off the atlas Bermuda Triangle maybe Atlantis
That's what I'm thinking about building expanding I can't be 40 and still out panhandling
I gotta come with a whole different strategy had to escape from the trenches of Accokeek
Or I'd be left out with Nunn like Natalie I couldn't settle for a yearly salary
Had to cutoff a few family ties friends was flaky like apple pies
When you succeeding at things that you fantasize everything don't go as advertised
I need a whole different strategy
Battling with my humanity
Hoping my art'll end up in the gallery
I need a whole different strategy
I did away with my vanity
I lost my conscious and sanity
I need a whole different strategy
Battling with my humanity
Hoping my art'll end up in the gallery
I need a whole different strategy
I did away with my vanity
I lost my conscious and sanity
Blowing smoke at the clock to slow the time down
Judgment day around the corner slow the line down
Who saw that white gown I couldn't handle the pressure that's why I'm high now I'm about to fly down
I wanna be somewhere where feeling euphoric ain't leaving away from the demons
Away from the hate and away from the struggle for freedom if God is the way can I meet Him
I know He's the way and I flee Him on different occasions I seen Him
My signal was too low to reach Him all He asked me to do was believe Him
I had the feeling that we sims fighting for no proper reason
Even when we pray that God bless us in season after we leaving
Planet Earth looking back like damn I was a janitor
Looking back like I shouldn't have been mad at her
Looking back like I should've got off of my ass got a manager
So that J.G. and me tour from Atlanta to Cali to London to Tokyo, Canada
So I could make a bride out of Angela and she could make a good man of a bachelor
And I make a life for a little me without police attacking harassing him
So we as society learn that love don't depend on if somebody pamper us
No one'll do what we can for us sorry if I overstepped my parameters
I've been thinking on a bigger scale is this what it feel like to live in Hell, hmm
Or should I be taking advantage of all of the blessings I'm handed
Having trouble trying to follow commandments when Jesus was crucified next to a bandit
I need a whole different strategy
Battling with my humanity
Hoping my art'll end up in the gallery
I need a whole different strategy
I did away with my vanity
I lost my conscious and sanity
I need a whole different strategy
Battling with my humanity
Hoping my art'll end up in the gallery
I need a whole different strategy
I did away with my vanity
I lost my conscious and sanity
Sanity, sanity, sanity, sanity
Sanity, sanity, sanity, sanity...
