Noah - Onward! Lyrics

I wake up
Then lace up
I think of... you
I kept my... Distance
Away from... you
Been waiting, hoping
About you, and me
In the next 5 years where we will be

Remember when we first met babe
I was stuttering Boucher like back in the day
When lunch had displays and surveys
When we was little, get my easel and serve
All the displaced children
How does this taste Privilege?
Help I need aid, healing
All these prisons are misplaced
And Steal Cage pistols
That's the bars that I'm spittin
Not safe my initials, I live my life every lyric
From one to five imma nickel, and my girl she a dime
My life close a quarter. So I'm hoping these lines
Can help and support her, my demons enormous aye
You finna hear em, (you finna hear em)
So cop my tape and a feeling
It may be dismissive, I just hope you don't miss it
Cause if you do you might me miss me,
And probably won't get me. It's okay I don't need you
This only the beginning, imma keep on swinging
And striking out every inning, and a life be a penny
So let's get down and get busy
I'll snatch the crown for my city, in these raps
Here's piece of me like giving a kidney
Throw a three for king Kenny
Throw a peace up to Nipsey
Then one to the piggies
I'm hoping they don't come get me
The system broken ya feel me so why try?
Start packing nines and some minis.
You think they gonna free Rodney Reed cause ya feelings?
Only time he'll be free is when the reaper come go em
The System ain't got no love
For black men and black women
I always looked up above all confused in the mission
I wish that it was more vivid
I just gotta keep pivot
Keep it moving there's room and space for all improvement, no approval
I'm Ray Lewis when it comes to the beat
Ain't heard of defeat, yes believe
Only lessons, I been stressing sometimes...

All the time actually, yunno I'm sayin?

Look
Just gotta keep faith, keep pace
Keep straight, pay dues, win, lose
Pick choose, like some shoes, or your crew
I ain't rich in my wealth, just rich in myself
And you to, you my bro, pray for you, in the cell
You'll prevail, I can tell, you just got
To have faith, it gets well, time will tell
It gone rain, it gone hail, and I know
And it's been hell out here, brown boy, no fear
Wipe tears, we here

I wake up
Then lace up
I think of... you
I kept my... Distance
Away from... you
Been waiting hoping
About You, and me
In the next 5 years where we will be

I wake up
Then lace up
I think of... you
I kept my... Distance
Away from... you
Been waiting, hoping
About You, and me
In the next 5 years where we will be
