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 |
