The Don

I'm 21 this year, but I feel 43 I value time and the essence of my tranquility I once believed in the human anatomy of dreams I wanted to be this and that, but nia I just want some peace I hear that if I speak about it, I'll be free Knowing the people around me, I think I'd rather be Rather be labeled as cynical, never marked as weak Race me to the top of my pinnacle, bath ngyazphakamisa I wanted more for everybody than I want for me And life keeps happening I really gotta better me Funny, I really was a better person when they needed me It's just never who I will ever be Consistency is key That's how you reach your peak I'll never trade this rap shit for the highest bid Beautiful people are everywhere I trust energy See their potential of living inside my sisterhood I got a brother and sister around my neighborhood I know we look at each other like we're in rivalry If we really got it for each other, I would rap mahala Nou nahana, we shagging one another for some zaka I know it happens to the best of us They changed the narrative, used money to belittle us I cry for sisters in a series of Mercedes bus. You got an F in class D-istractions of a C class That is a pipeline dream To be piped down He said he was leaving his wife, nah, you on the sideline sis Gave you 2k and shipped with the bouquet He gave you nothing better that you couldn't do for you, babe Me and my nia we ayt Sipping on that kool-aid; Knowing we 'bout to get high Smoking on that high grade That nigga get me He prolly saved me That nigga heal a part me like he a band-aid And I'm forever grateful for that love, man A rap stunna, Queen Donna, the prima Donna I rap harder Everybody just do the latter I did master my own chapter before the chatter Never let the word escape before any of that work presented To each his own regarded, jaded and always guarded I go a long way for the ones that always keep me grounded This is a heart 2 heart, for you and I I keep it coming I got a long way 'til the end, and I'm just getting started A rap stunna, Queen Donna, the prima Donna; I rap harder Everybody just do the latter I did master my own chapter before the chatter Never let the word escape before any of that work presented
