Lyrics

(It's been said that the test of a man's courage is how he performs in the face of danger, danger, danger, danger, danger)
(It's technique on the beat)
I'm an interesting, distinctive individual
Moral compass I have based on my ethics and principles
Fear formidable, my heart's invincible
As is invisible, liability minimal
Keep my word reciprocal, my mission is biblical
Amongst all this fiction on my G-Code traditional
Sucka shit unforgivable, it's all political
Reputation official, without character you lack of potential
Just a black man in America
Judged by your skin, not your character, mm-mm-mm
You wonder why opps might stare at you
'Cause they don't have a recognized character
Strength, originality, mental, moral quality, character
Good reputation, authentic recommendation, character
Bein' unique, best believed to find character
You are the rod of the director, the main character
Integrity and honesty is key, understand
A moral quality speak the truth about a man, yeah
For example, you're good for his chin
Wanna get hit with the Crip then
All of my DMs leavin' their inclinations
So here's how you handle a situation like this
Block that bitch and hit your mans right quick
Sit him down and conversate like this
"Look, she think you a trick, it's stupid"
Man for business, elusive, not exclusive
We exact, now dummy shook his head
Looked him in his eye, "Now let's get this money"
Now I'm talkin' 'bout to be about it for real
Men sharpen men and still sharpen steel
No time for bullshit, only time to build
Our energy's up, let's close this deal
To Brando Mills, I'm only 'bout loyalty and truth
If it ain't the same, what they say 'bout you could never be true
Just a black man in America
Judged by your skin, not your character, mm-mm-mm
You wonder why opps might stare at you
'Cause they don't have a recognized character
Strength, originality, mental, moral quality, character
Good reputation, authentic, recommendation, character
Bein' unique, best believed, defined, character
You are the rider, the director, the main character
Representin', inventin', corporate ways to get cash
Example of quality, I'm a rider of class, yeah
Dependent on spendin' where my interest is lendin'
Be careful who you do business with, money come, people be trippin'
Find your position, protect your IP and vision
Pre-market and listen, don't promote it to your homie, I assist it
Trust your experience, remember, choose words wisely
Sensor, grow maturity, enter
It's your energy and how you present it
Gotta learn from the stakes, time won't be extended
Bein' self-centered, with a woman, shake my attention
Make better decisions, control of my temper
And inherited wisdom is what is given, it's recommended
Intended for you to learn and listen
Observe the difference and get it concerned, only what's fair
That's really real, you feel it
Distinctive nature, fulfillment, original, brilliant
It's all character built in
Listen, just a black man in America
Judged by your skin, not your character, mm-mm-mm
You wonder why opps might stare at you
'Cause they don't have a recognized character
Strength, originality, mental, moral quality, character
Good reputation, authentic, recommend a character
Bein' unique, best believed, defies character
You are the rider, the director, the main character
The truth, monumental time
What defies you as a man?
What defies you as a woman?
What defies you as a person?
(Character)
You know what the best language can define anybody is?
Bein' authentic
That's gon' define your character, who you are, what you been through
(Character) Everything you seen, everything you survived
Every time you failed, every time you got knocked down
You got back up again
Everything you been through
Everybody got a story, some of it sadder than others
But I believe in tragedy to triumph
That's what defines my character
My why, why I do this shit
The truth, character
I wanna do this job because it's never been done
It's research, it's pioneering
