Yo Yo, This For All My Progressive Thinkers |
[00:11.80] |
Yo, Cautious with the image that I'm givin' |
[00:13.90] |
What used to be appealin' is the **** that I'm resentin' |
[00:16.90] |
Feel like I ain't livin', I'm dealin' with so much |
[00:19.60] |
On the low, I'm actin' tough, but I ain't been happy in a minute |
[00:22.80] |
And what's crazy is this is just the beginning |
[00:25.60] |
Ridin' 'round Vegas tryna build my foundation |
[00:28.85] |
That immediate happiness is awaitin' |
[00:30.45] |
But I feel it's overrated, I'm keepin' a clear conscience |
[00:33.89] |
I just wanna do my own thing |
[00:35.90] |
A good heart |
[00:36.30] |
But what if I'm out here fightin' for the wrong things? |
[00:38.90] |
Became a daddy and started watching my behavior |
[00:41.50] |
Helpin' ****** out, but ****** runnin' out of favors |
[00:43.95] |
It ain't about the paper, it's about what u gon' do with it |
[00:46.90] |
U on ur music tip, but tell me, is U the creator? |
[00:50.80] |
These ****** don't know how to act |
[00:52.00] |
I should've been a school counselor |
[00:53.15] |
To see what they'd get out of that |
[00:55.98] |
All I wanna do is help, if it's a little |
[00:57.90] |
Got up in this game to really try and make a change |
[01:01.10] |
Wanna settle down, but this **** is so confusin' |
[01:02.90] |
I'm just goin' through a stage where I'm learnin' how to be brave |
[01:06.90] |
**** a phase, this is life, all I need is me |
[01:08.85] |
Look into my daughter's eyes and then I get the water eyes |
[01:11.90] |
If I die, I pray to God she know her father tried, word.(Word, Word) |
[01:17.30] |
Cause we just wanna live our lives |
[01:19.10] |
Embraced faith, went against all odds |
[01:21.10] |
In our eyes, to judge ******, that is not our job |
[01:24.85] |
To be a man, it is not that hard |
[01:26.99] |
We gon' killem with kindness |
[01:28.08] |
When they try to take u out ur comfort zone |
[01:30.00] |
Ayo, it's time to be a man, understand, we gon' killem with kindness |
[01:33.95] |
And u know u gotta ******' hold ur own |
[01:35.90] |
Can't let them take us away from the fam' |
[01:37.98] |
We gon' killem with kindness |
[01:39.89] |
Now I'm thinkin' in reality |
[01:42.00] |
Actually, I was thinkin' 'bout stability |
[01:44.10] |
I watched my single mother's feet hurt for years |
[01:46.85] |
Just to barely pay the bills - I don't know, that ****'s killin' me |
[01:49.90] |
But I don't wanna live like that |
[01:52.00] |
Ma'ma, I don't wanna see u live like that |
[01:54.88] |
I told my little brothers we can build a new life |
[01:57.58] |
For the ones that gave us life, we can give that back |
[01:59.88] |
I know we tend to hold grudges |
[02:02.10] |
I can't control it, I'm unfolding the emotion that I'm holdin' |
[02:06.00] |
Hope the way I saw it ain't the way I won't approach it |
[02:08.20] |
I'm just focused on the better me, this rap **** is my pedigree |
[02:12.10] |
Lately I've been feelin' life testin' me |
[02:14.40] |
She say she down, and she say she wanna ride |
[02:16.60] |
Release the need to please or be validated by eyes |
[02:18.95] |
In disguise, I'm just focused on what makes me come alive |
[02:22.90] |
I've learned not to take nothin' personal |
[02:25.40] |
Bad environments have been my disadvantage |
[02:27.90] |
Not tryna be accepted, it stepped me out of my box |
[02:30.00] |
And now these ****** watch me like I got all of the answers |
[02:33.80] |
But this is what I've built for myself |
[02:35.90] |
Realistic, always had to keep it real with myself |
[02:38.90] |
So when they talk, and it's negative or it's false |
[02:41.95] |
We channel out the negative thoughts without any help |
[02:44.65] |
Cause we just wanna live our lives |
[02:46.55] |
Embraced faith, went against all odds |
[02:49.00] |
In our eyes, to judge ******, that is not our job |
[02:51.85] |
To be a man, it is not that hard |
[02:54.00] |
We gon' killem with kindness |
[02:55.30] |
When they try to take u out ur comfort zone |
[02:57.75] |
Ayo, it's time to be a man, understand, we gon' killem with kindness |
[03:01.00] |
And u know u gotta ******' hold ur own |
[03:02.89] |
Can't let them take us away from the fam' |
[03:05.00] |
We gon' killem with kindness |
