[Verse 1]
Post-apocalyptic, the most hip-hop terrific
Young, gifted, and black, it's never monolithic
To be non-specific, some pontific
On some Z. Elliot, they wanna run with it
[Verse 2]
Overzealous zealots, my alias should be rebellious
'Cause I deliver on some maily-ish
The message is where the oppression is
It's single mothers, pressure, and aggressive kids
My rhymes will be the Ritalin, let's get it
[Verse 3]
And America's divided, the dividend is the middlemen
We need to cut 'em out
'Cause can't nobody govern the route
Of my destiny, Ebony covers and lovers
I respect them like they all mothers
And I'm
[Verse 4]
Ready and I don't wanna wait
I know my glory's on the way
It's time to live, there'll be tradeoffs
I give thanks, I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
[Verse 5]
I know my glory's on the way
It's time to live it, there'll be tradeoffs
I give thanks, I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
[Verse 6]
Opps and opulence, pops said confidence
Glocks and consciousness, sounds of black optimists
Glasses clink, I get cheers like a toast
I'm butter, baby, come close
[Verse 7]
Spent years with Mos, Talib, Tariq, J Rule, and Kanye
Somewhere in my top 5 is Nas, BIG, and André
Sound waves of underground days
[Verse 8]
We found ways to surface, bringing heaven where earth is
Verses become churches, not for you to worship
But to find your purpose, rhyme's a divine service
Soundtracks to life, the way we find Curtis
[Verse 9]
I play The Makings of You for my daughter in the womb
Hope she still in tune, time for concrete roses to bloom
And I'm
[Verse 10]
Ready and I don't wanna wait
I know my glory's on the way
It's time to live it, there'll be tradeoffs
I give thanks, I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
[Verse 11]
I know my glory's on the way
It's time to live it, there'll be tradeoffs
I give thanks, I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
[Verse 12]
Know my glory's on the way
It's time to live it, there'll be tradeoffs
I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
[Verse 13]
Know my glory's on the way
It's time to live, there'll be tradeoffs
I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
[Verse 14]
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah, not afraid
Ooh-ah, I'm not afraid
[Verse 15]
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
I'm not afraid
[Verse 16]
Ooh-ah, not afraid
I'm not afraid, ooh-ah
I'm not afraid
