Lyrics

Yeah, this is the one right here, Els

This is the one we gotta just pour out our heart and soul

Let these people know how we feelin'

I'm ready

Yeah I will intensify the way I mesmerize the crowd

Players and hustlers they don't feel what I speak about

Cause when I scream and shout I do it with purpose

More than surface, can't conform to the circus

Call the industry of music, it's a tool and I use it

To transfer the good news, bring damage to wack crews

Give hope to the hopeless singin' inner city blues

And yeah, I'll be the spark that I pray lights the fuse

To hit you the revelation of Bible divine truths

Cause only God draws the Spirit

But I know God gave me the gift to pack out the arenas to hear it

There was a time when the soil wasn't suitable for plantin' a seed

But I had to proceed

And yeah it's new breed, we tear the ground up

And now have the world turnin' my sound up

Got a long road ahead of me, still I'm movin' it steadily

So many long nights, sometimes I can't write

It's enough to make an MC retire the mic

This industry hates the light, still I shine it

I ain't hustlin', I'm wrestlin' with long sufferin'

Yeah I want that house on the hills, I wanna sit on a couple of mil

I want a bonafide offer, a top-notch record deal

I wanna bring the world real music with real soul appeal

Then I want a platinum plaque to show the industry we could sell

But I don't wanna shake my butt or take my clothes off to get it

I worked hard and paid my dues so I want it on all my merit

Plus I'm a dope MC so tell me, why not me?

It's a shame to hold me back cause I got too much integrity

I won't sell or talk sex, I'm a woman who's complex

To the mainstream image of women, I pose a threat

Cause I challenge all the rules, cause I shut up all them fools

Who keep tellin' us to shake it while they talent they just fake it

I hate this, we take it, play it and make 'em all rich

Then we dance to their music and shout when they call us

What, are you serious that these women should be feelin' this?

I'm runnin' out of patience, nothin' in this game is sacred

So many long nights, sometimes I can't write

It's enough to make an MC retire the mic

This industry hates the light, still I shine it

I ain't hustlin', I'm wrestlin' with long sufferin'

And people tell me don't waste such a dope flow

On a topic you know ain't gon' bring you no dough

You know it would be fresh if once in a while y'all cuss

And brought that real like drugs, money, and lust

And don't think the topic never crossed my mind

A million dollars could really tempt a brother to cross the line

But my conviction it be convictin' me

And yeah my passion is everlastin'

I got too much at heart and my heart and soul's at stake

So I'll stay on this grind cause my spirit they can't break

I won't make what I don't believe, I won't make my God grieve

And so I won't give in

Plus one day my baby girl'll be old enough to listen

And I want her to be proud of the things her mom be spittin'

Like truth, love, and wisdom, for this I keep my fist up

Too many of us missed it, wasted time gettin' lifted

Or caught up in bein' gifted

So many long nights, sometimes I can't write

It's enough to make an MC retire the mic

This industry hates the light, still I shine it

I ain't hustlin', I'm wrestlin' with long sufferin'

So many long nights, sometimes I can't write

It's enough to make an MC retire the mic

This industry hates the light, still I shine it

I ain't hustlin', I'm wrestlin' with long sufferin'
