Lyrics
all my brothers want houses by the same lake.
took the kayak, and saw em all the same day.
i aint hop into my vehicle in 8 days.
10 , 20 years i see myself in the same place.
all my **** want cabins in the mountains.
sitting on the clouds.
used to see em from the ground.
now they see us looking down.
forgive em all when i say grace.
we was grazing the poverty line.
now its the property lines.
laughing at our pain.
**** its always comedy time.
mama in a deep sleep
knowing that ima be fine.
folks bring up labels in the chat like im tryna be signed.
they waiting for an answer all they see is three dots on the line.
ugh.
with great power comes u know the. rest.
i didn’t get it till recently.
it used to be eating me.
stooping to your level where u nearly defeated me.
noticed who i was then i went where i need to be.
let the hate go and saw the people that needed me.
and now i only give you energy if you feeding me.
it feels good knowing what im seeking is seeking me.
it feels good knowing all my people can see the dream.
a sacrificial life.
what it mean to be a vessel
for the light.
on a level outta sight.
i aint saying that im right.
im just saying that im real.
i aint hiding any blights.
i aint here to save the globe
im just here to do my part.
i aint here to take your woes.
i just turn em into art.
the earth keep me grounded,
tryna leave this place.
a lil better than i found it.
my team fly as hell
you wont find a better outfit.
out in Evergreen, we can move a fuckin mountain.
and everything around it. that’s really how i feel.
