TEF XL - Conversations (Live) Lyrics

This last joint we gon' call Conversations
Original produced by DJ Pain, big up bro
So when I sat down to write this joint
I thought about all the social dynamic challenges
I've faced in my life as a man from my perspective
And I thought I'd share them with you
So this is Conversations

Is it true I'm from the streets
Yes I am
Make music, write lyrics, talk with spirits
Yes I can
Interviews tryin' to screw me, paint my image, fore I can
They don't know I saw this comin' back when I was whippin' jam
Used to tell the homies then, one day I tell em' where we been
While I stack my bills right, roll the dice and watch em' spin
Put my Pumas on the track and made my blue notes servin' grams
Yes I did, yes I am
On the life that I command, come on

Should I bark
Should I whisper
Should I talk
Should I kiss her
The game keep me guessin', that's why I love her and still with her
Put my cards on the table
Finally see the dealer's picture
No more proving points, my hubris got me speakin' on my ventures
Hold up
RoboCop tryin' to say I fit the descriptors
Really
It's 23, I know you got some streets to get to
Come on
I'm a grown man, businesses I own man
My ID, my own brand
Google me, you'll understand
Sir, I clock you doin' 20 in a school zone full of vans
Can you provide your photo ID
Yes I can
Are you a resident in this neighborhood
Yes I am
Your car's nice, this a rental
No sir, this my lady Benz

Is it true I'm from the streets
Yes I am
Make music, write lyrics, talk with spirits
Yes I can
Interviews tryin' to screw me, paint my image, fore I can
They don't know I saw this comin' back when I was whippin' jam
Used to tell the homies then, one day I tell em' where we been
While I stack my bills right, roll the dice and watch em' spin
Put my Pumas on the track and made my blue notes servin' grams
Yes I did, yes I am
On the life that I command, come on

Check It

I sit still, meditate
Contemplate next moves to make
Measure twice, cut once, that's how you minimize mistakes
Heartbreaks had to go through just to grow to manhood
Test your heart and mind state, now I'm livin' life great
Nowadays I write bright, every verse a chance to shed light
Avoiding stumbles and fumbles I took in life
Told my son, don't let perfection blind direction or insight
Put one foot in front of the other, take steps towards livin' right
World a maze, you a kite
As it turn you'll see delight
Raise your hands prepare to fight for anything you want in life
You either earn or sacrifice them simple rules will keep you right
Hard to say, but I know you thinking
Dame my pops right
I love you man
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Right

Yeah
Check it

Is it true I'm from the streets
Yes I am
Make music, write lyrics, talk with spirits
Yes I can
Interviews tryin' to screw me, paint my image, fore I can
They don't know I saw this comin' back when I was whippin' jam
Used to tell the homies then, one day I tell em' where we been
While I stack my bills right, roll the dice and watch em' spin
Put my Pumas on the track and made my blue notes servin' grams
Yes I did, yes I am
On the life that I command, come on

Yeah, they say the biggest and most important
Fight or war that a man has is fatherhood
When you battling with your heart, to express love
Huh, I'm winning mine
Yes sir

So, check this out, uh
We wanna thank Studio West
We wanna thank the producers
Big up to Cedrick on the engineer board
Big up to Brian, man, for makin' this video happen
Ethan for walkin' us through the studio in the first place
And helpin' us realize this is the place we wanted to be
Big up to EMG, my homie Big Wax
Big up to all my business partners and our sponsors, Deuces Co
Last but not least, man
If there's anything you wanna do in life there's no better time to get to it than now
So get to it

Big up to the AHMPS band
Mind, body, and soul bro
