The Root |
At times I feel it’s all dark, victories is hard fought |
Even the small ones for start, things fall apart |
Waiting for the stars and the planets to align |
For my life on earth to finally confirm what I knew inside |
I raised the stakes and I made many mistakes |
And missteps still thankful people stole my mixtapes |
Took a breath and braced myself for the leap of faith |
Time’s precious everyday, I don’t believe in waste |
Friendships that caused pain within the large maze |
I just praised god’s name and |
Trained like Bernard King |
Sudden loss of life can make ya heart sink |
Sharp pain ball and chain on ya ankles it’s hard to break |
Cycles happen we go through phases like Michael Jackson |
Things can change faster than you might imagine |
Happiness is not a tied to a result |
Glad I finally found a calling for myself before my final call |
I used to hate it when they doubted made me push harder |
My short term was looking bleak I had to look farther |
When you mix street and book smart you get em shook god |
Temple of doom I reached in my chest it took heart |
Had to quit the dead end job, my friends discouraged me |
Cause out here security synonymous to currency |
Mental endurance, rejection was a courage pill |
I swallow bunch of those… and pushed with a determined will |
Burned both ends of the candle under the star spangled |
Going against the odds until the day the odds thank you |
No one believes until you start to achieve |
When you realize it’s not about you, you start receive |
I move with godspeed through the gauntlet the beef and conflict |
The consequence on being in the light tension is constant |
And it’s a scene full of zombies in this Ponzi scheme |
Calmly dream keep my laundry clean |
And keep pushing |
Skip the basics they said I would be ill-fated |
Never had a record deal still feeling real major |
Build like the masons from Flatlands to Mill Basin |
Had the IAM killer tape «Concept» with ill cadence |
Percy to Kane, Tragedy to Fame |
Next level next devil still had to beat the game |
Lost friends along the way and gained more |
Put pressure on myself, what you think I kept the name for? |
They told me keep the faith I rather spread it |
And when it’s on rush the scene like paramedics |
Build friendship I would’ve thought was unexpected |
Build bonds with the word and that’s no pun intended |
Soon as the plane hit the tarmac |
I put the bar back where it should have been and that’s a god fact |
In the city where they carjack |
Me and my homies used to dream about being mega stars in rap |
Looking at the stars, wishing it’s a hard mission |
Reality’ll leave a scar that’s a non-fiction |
I learned to travel light enjoy the journey more |
So many cop nice things to hide a dirty core |
Sold em my art where I showed my heart |
Exposed it all to y’all when I lowered my guard |
That’s when the wounds start to heal, it’s not a drill |
T La Rock said «Its Yours» man it’s ours for real |
From boom boxes to rocking tube socks |
Always fresh can hear us coming from 2 blocks |
