Soul Food

I pray my confidence never turns to delusion I pray for no regrets when I reach the conclusion I give you illustrations, they give you illusions I'm too exclusive, to want to be included People come to me with problems, but never solutions Your ideas are not what lost me, it's your execution Ferraris don't compete with the Ford Fusions, yeah And a lot of y'all Ford Fusions You niggas clueless, I swear What else I gotta do just to prove that I care You talkin' all that black smoke, polluting the air Every year I have one pair of shoes I can wear Even still, I know that life can be cruel and unfair I was waitin' on my moment, I never was scared Now they don't gotta count it, they know that it's there Can't pinpoint what I got, but they know that it's rare, yeah At this point, I feel like I'm in a league of my own On every single record, you can see where I've grown I wouldn't let you in fully, you just see what I show you They can only pull you down if they're below you I like to tell the truth because I feel like I owe you I do this for the family, nigga, like I'm supposed to I let you see my damage and the shit that I go through Put everything on the table like soul food I'm not dwellin' on the past, that's old news, next subject I never had the best cards, but made the best of it Stay in your lane, nigga, you a crash test dummy They can't let you down if you expect nothin I used to do a verse for free, but now I check budgets One just up its stuck there, and we not budgin Was "ha ha"'s and "LOL"s, now it's not funny Only shine if you stay real when it's not sunny, yeah Me and shorty didn't work out, I guess we tried I got a German hatchback parked by the seaside Cost of livin' gettin' too high to have free time On every single flight, I look down at the tree line Real friends check on you still if you seem fine Road less traveled, I just follow the street signs It's comin' soon, just stay down in the meantime, I swear
