Lyrics

Substantial, Marcus D, Masters of the Artistry
Bop Alloy, album three, let's see
Yeah
I am here to teach, I am here to learn
Whether you subscribe to what I speak or you're here to churn
Never one to fight to try to keep what I didn't earn
Same I always been, yet I keep growing in return
God still blessing me, years after blessing me
Not one for brevity, but folks long for excellence
Am I wrong for peddling an alternative medicine?
Messing with they profits while stopping the death they selling us
Never been a portrait of perfection, I'm a work in progress
I ain't mastered nothing, I just found a better process
Ah yes, there's beauty in discovery
Had to learn to love myself before they ever fucked with me
Earmuffs, the curses for the hard of hearing
Don't mind me I'm just staying in my lane like auto steering
I think of all the problems of the day and I'm almost tearing up
We ain't safe on home base and they hope we giving up
But can you be a master when there's more to learn?
To gain the world, so we'll add to the pain
That's when we spring into action but some would rather complain
When it's all said and done, we're among the last who remain
Pray our children see the sun come after the rain
I've worked to master the rage
Before I master the stage
And now I beat them with words as if I master debate
Ain't fishing for friction, ain't going after the bait
Just sharing this food and wisdom while adding on to our plate
Ain't gracing them with my presence I'm being present with grace
Living life to the fullest while staring death in the face
With every stand that you make and every step that you take
The people are bound by love which makes us harder to break
The weight been pie in the sky like come get you a slice
Got them risking it all the height left them enticed
A small sacrifice to get you a better life
Some of us hot as ever but never beg them for ice
Some of us wonder whether this freedom is worth the price
Claiming we didn't earn it, our people pay for it twice
And these wages won't suffice, It's like we're volunteering
Three jobs ain't enough for one life, profiteering's all I'm hearing
I think of all this pain and I'm almost tearing up
The struggle's never ending but we never giving up
You can't be a master if you never learn
Can you be a master when there's more to learn?
You can't be a master if you never learn
Where's your value if you stole what you claim you earned
History repeats but we never learn
There's more to learn...
