Inheritance

Yeah, what's in a name, what's in a bloodline?

What's in the mind of an ill prisoner serving mad time?

Some say poetry and music flow through generations

But it never shines without severe complications

I'm being patient, mindset of an ancient scholar

I gotta holler at all my brothers with major dollars

But even those without, 'cause it's about more than just chasing checks

Like a chessboard metaphor, why chase a pawn when you could mate in four?

Add to the score, destiny roars while it rains and pours

'Cause it's about more than rap, a simple trap

It's about legacy that flows through the pedigree

Yeah, standing up for yourself and what's right

All night with all my might, I'm ready to fight for my life

I inherit realness, survival of the fittest

That's why you hear greatness through the lyrics

Don't be quick to dismiss it before you hear the full story

My mind is power, like 40 nights of rain to replenish the rap game

Yeah, I'm still the same ill brother from 10th grade

You don't wanna be testing, 'cause if it's a test, I'mma ace it and face it

Place it back in a Scantron for evaluation

Like a chess engine, Deep Blue, yeah, I caught the flu

Flaming blue 'cause it's the hottest flames that you ever knew

And it flew over the nest, so let me say

Get some rest to Big L 'cause he did it the best

Respect it and chill if that's how you really feel

About me, then why'd you doubt me?

'Cause I'm trying to plant some trees on this planet before I leave

You Know My Steez, yeah
