Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm playing for keeps, I tell em' these stories
If **** clutching I always avoid it
Lifting as we rise for sons and our daughters
Quality control my vision high on Adobe
See it closely and start to pick out a phony
Take no advice from people who barely know me
Stubborn nature I got it from way below
In control like I'm hogging a new remote
Hands on like I'm leaving my fingerprints here
Better recognize everything Tyler did here
Better communicate with me no broken tele's
I mean you know how information can turn into something that's petty
You tryna discredit somebody for self-upliftment
Reasons why I don't trust nobody from a distance
Protecting everything I'm made of
Moments before I take off, people I need to break off
Activated my cerebral
Discovered I'm lethal, still I never use for evil
Different purpose I got going on
Glody told me not to race when it's a marathon
Trick is not to break a sweat
Feed the spirit not the flesh when I feel depressed
Go through moments of uncertainty
But that's when shit will start to click and I execute it all perfectly
Thinking back on when I couldn't get that bursary
Or further back when my father was nonexistent when I was going through nursery
I'm not sure if he's dead or alive, it's hurting me
Twenty years and I'm still affected internally
Another absentee but you on permanent leave
A generation of single parents I noticed
With single mothers who raising their sons hoping
We do not repeat the same mistakes over
This type of life where burdens are passed over
Finding closure as soon my doors open
Fix whatever was broke and I'm offloading
Deep rooted problems with flowers and leaves
Spend all of my time in this garden to water this family tree
Might be the reason I go from hunnid to zero
