Dynasty |
Sometimes you gotta let people know where you been |
So they can appreciate where you at |
Growing up, I seen a lot of things go crazy though |
Product of the 80's though, mama played Madonna |
While my father played Willie Colon |
When I was seven, he left us, that’s when he fled our home |
Ain’t give my mama nothing, not a cent to help her feed or clothe |
And we were cold as hell, everybody broke as well |
The market saturated, couldn’t give away a soul for sale |
Your choice was go to jail or go to school and go in debt |
Or work a nine to five and live the rest of your life with no respect |
Some of us done went to early graves or early funerals |
Sad it happened but it’s sadder that it ain’t unusual |
Selling drugs or using ‘em, my cousin was abusing ‘em |
He tryna rehabilitate, he saw what they was doing to him |
I got a girl I’m living with because I love her |
But her family hate my ass, her mama tryna break us up |
And her father got the monster, no one even knows what stage it’s in |
But if you poor and a minority, you can’t get AIDS and live |
And she just take it in, carrying the weight of it |
And she don’t shed a tear, I never seen such an amazing chick |
I wanna give the world to her but can’t because the space I’m in |
Somewhere in between unknown and blowing out the frame of this |
Showing y’all the way it is, showing y’all the way we live |
Showing y’all the truth behind the bullshit they place us in |
And I was lost but now I finally found my way again |
I’m ready for the fight of my life, it’s time to weigh me in |
So much more than just what meets the eye |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
We’re on our way somewhere up in the sky |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
And it’s so big that even when we die |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
We’re gonna be a dynasty, we gotta be a dyntasy |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
And this for all my people tryna eat |
I done grown so much, I’m everything that I was tryna be |
Used to think they cats was out to get me |
I was blind to see that people wasn’t using me |
They really just relied on me |
When homie first reached out to me, I thought I hit the lottery |
I’m standing in them BET Awards like they gon' ride for me |
Yeah, I was finally part of a team, in the city that never sleeps |
Now I find it’s harder to dream, ain’t no rest |
Up with anxiety all inside of me, sirens passing me by |
In the city where all the violence be (brrrrrraaatttt) |
Ain’t no economy here ‘cause there’s only poverty |
Section 8 apartments but we dressing in the finer things |
She got her mother’s figure, never knew her father figure |
Now she strip for figures, her father could be the guy that tip her |
They on the block again, putting kids through college |
And drug money turning ‘em toxic instead of scholarships |
But I don’t play the politics, I don’t think I’m even voting |
Obama probably in pocket with all them CEOs |
And y’all could live for the moment, I’m living for the future |
I got some sins to atone ‘cause I put some women through hurt |
And what’s a king if the throne has been sitting in manure? |
And what is living if you just living for getting through it? |
It’s gon' be different for any kid that I bring into it |
I don’t see the sky as the limit to it ‘cause I’mma build a dynasty |
So much more than just what meets the eye |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
We’re on our way somewhere up in the sky |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
And it’s so big that even when we die |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
We’re gonna be a dynasty, we gotta be a dyntasy |
(Now I just wanna build a dynasty) |
So much more than just what meets the eye |
We’re on our way somewhere up in the sky |
And it’s so big that even when we die |
We’re gonna be a dynasty, we gotta be a dyntasy |
