Neva (feat. Timmy Hunter)

I'm gonna stop believing that there's some mystery God

That's gonna change reality for me

I'm gonna change the reality in my own life

When you start thinkin' like that

You will start usin' the power of your own self

And you'll that you got all the power you need

To change reality

With me, young

If it wasn't for me, for self, knowin' myself

Uh-huh

I neva would've made it if I didn't hound Pubar

Yo, I got tracks, actual facts

I neva would've made it if I didn't love myself

If I didn't shove myself and put myself into position

I neva would've made it through the break up

If I didn't have the make up that recognizes God

They say my voice as odd, but then we made punks

And had them night dunks back in them early years

I neva would've made it if I didn't face fears

Even when I changed careers, I never lost the love

For my father went above, we put Mike in the dirt

When I stopped for a squirt, a **** lost his mojo

Went back to the dojo, reexamined his shit

Got my mind right, body physical fit

I neva would've made it if I believed all the critics

That had faith in the blogs and said I was gettin' old

You can never stop gettin' that gold

You can see it in my soul and my work ethic

I neva would've made it if I slept all day

I only know one way, that's constant motion

I neva would've made it if I couldn't cross the ocean

I neva would've made it without good friends

One or two women and some carefully placed skins

All play a part in this batter

'Cause my grey matter is the knowledge seed

That's right, yo, what'd make?

You know it, yeah, know how hard it works

How, how we work

Word up

I wouldn't made it no other way

Gave 'em's type

Still kept doin'

I never lost the love

I knew I was comin' back

I neva would've made it if I didn't practice

Seen the Eiffel Tower, Taharah's only cactus

Even when my head turned, a dollar saved, a dollar earned

We all been burned but it won't happen twice

Even wouldn't question my vice up out the years

Can no longer teach the little ones in a school setting

The knowledge, they still gettin' but I do it from the street

I neva would've made it if I couldn't stay on beat

I neva would've made it if I couldn't write songs

Real songs, not the bullshit, people see through the bullshit

Understand, I neva would've made it if I didn't take advice

I think all of my shit is nice but you say X do it better

If I believed that letter that said sales was slow

That X would longer grow, I'da left

But as long as I have breath, there's a chance for Japan and France

We can all dance, we just got different steps

And the things we rep, mines is based on facts

I neva would've made it if I lost the love for blacks

I neva would've made it if I wasn't still a fan

And could recognize good music comin' from the next man

Havin' a plan, that's why I'm still here

Give up for myself, yo, sometimes I shed a tear

Yeah, I neva could've made it, yo, neva would've made it

Without myself, without a lot of good people helpin' me

You know what I'm sayin'? there's good days and bad days

Ups and downs

Even when I was workin', when I wasn't even around, I was workin'

There's nothin' wrong with that

Still here

Them know, got me
