Forever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Vibe with me now
Walk with me on a journey of life
I show you pain, loss, and gain from a luck of pair of dice
Gambling my life for something not guaranteed
Sweating out my mind till I'm feeling fatigue
I know this life has got a price, I'm overwhelmed by the fee
All for the chance to be free to raise up my self-esteem
Holding me back from all of my dreams
I'd rather start a new if that means I can finally be me
I took a vow at seventeen to get it all, I'm starting small
Getting used to always having my back to the wall
Getting used to getting back up every time I fall
Keeping my ears perked up for when they finally call
I'm having visions that they wish I couldn't see
Painting my heart while they playing for greed
I've been aiming all these thoughts into a place of free speech
Showing growth, I'm giving strength to the weak
Oh me, I've been searching for a life thats holy
Got me asking why did God put all this pressure on me
You see a side of me as if I never got to know me
Put me through the rain so you can rain these blessings on me
F*ck what they think 'cause I ain't f*cking with that
They done tried holding me back, while I got on the map
They done tried saying I'm wack, while they reciting my raps
I've been writing history as this pen hits the pad
I came back, I'm in full effect
Preaching these raps, 'cause the raps always been in depth
See where I'm at, it's like they can't think I ever left
'Cause I embody the truth in each and every breath
I never break a sweat
And I put it to rest as I get to what I'm chasing
Found my lane, so I had to lay the pavement
Paying homage to everybody who paved a way
It's picture perfect, but now they see that I fit the frame
I did the crime, just look at how I've been killing time
I took whats mine, spilling my heart out onto the rhyme
I train my eyes, learning these ropes as I'm on the climb
And they ain't even get glimpse of my prime
From the concrete, I'm rising to the test
F*ck they heads up, 'cause I've been aiming right to they neck
Long as I'm here, it's clear that I be going at this till the death
And the Lord ain't taking me yet
I take a look at this foundation I laid
Thinking back on those who doubted and said my name in vain
Now I'm back reaching for things I couldn't have attained
Making the effort to see clearer through the haze
This for my family, I pray we see them better days
For all my brothers who held me down in every way
For my city and these streets from which I was raised
I give you all of me, so they remember the name
Forever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
I give you all of me, so they remember the name
