Yeah, one, two, one, two
Conversations with my father
Shit, I just gotta work harder, now you just gotta work smarter
Open your eyes and never let loose of your pride
Take your time, put God first, 'cause Satan waitin' in line
And regrettably, I've negated His presence, it's time you realized
(E-e-every man), you realized that it's (e-e-every man for they self)
It's what my father used to tell me (e-e-every man)
He used to tell me that it's (e-e-every man for they self)
(E-e-every man for they self), yeah
(E-e-every man)
He said, "You can't depend on tomorrow or rely on today
Make sure what you living for ain't worth dyin' in vain"
I got a lot of love on my mind, I've been tryna find balance in my thoughts
Tryna finesse a scale to influence the position that I'm in
Try not to stray away too far and get lost
I'm rollin' up another one because that last L
Really ain't do nothin' but remind me of my last L
We all takers sometimes, but it's been takin' some time for me to bounce back
From my back bein' smacked between a rock and a hard place
It's what you make it, the hard times never last
Sometimes you gotta give, sometimes you gotta take it
Nothin' in the way of the moves I'm potentially makin'
That even goes to my mistakes
I see my face reflectin' right in front of me, talkin' to myself
Facin' my problems, I never run, and I put my cleats up on the shelf, ah
Slowly finding peace with myself
Piecin' together everything, all I can do is hope that it stay
'Cause you know how things can change by the day
Hopin' that God brings some positive change to my way
I'm positive, I can change the frame in the way that they view us
Show 'em it's more than music, my words can recruit the clueless
Show 'em how we do this
It ain't no formula, just work as hard as you dreamin'
Watch for the snakes in between the route that you takin'
My wisdom came from all the mistakes I've been makin'
I was 17 and I just graduated
Second week of the summer still gettin' congratulated
I was just happy that I wasn't doin' no calculatin'
It'd feel like that's when my life heavily activated
I was active with my ****, Martin
I was goin' hard, hittin' every open mic in the hope to become better artists
But what we couldn't farther from where we thought we was headed
Sometimes the pride can get in the way of your lessons
The more I grew, the more we grew apart
I was selfless, I couldn't see he was selfish from the start
That's what I get for thinkin' with my heart
Instead of usin' that in my mind at the same time
That's when I realized that it's every man for they self
But still, I understand that every man needs some help
(E-e-every man), you realize that it's (e-e-every man for they self)
That's what my papa used to tell me (e-e-every man)
He used to tell me that it's (e-e-every man for they self)
(E-e-every man for they self), yeah
(E-e-every man)
Just say a prayer, light a sweet then repeat
Uh, just say a prayer, light a sweet then repeat
Just say a prayer, light a sweet then repeat
Yeah
Seein' is believin', believin' is seein' without your eyes
The key is to open your mind
It's Young Anti
