You know I had to say something |
|
Jin Do I wait for the beat to drop or do |
|
I start here? |
|
Check it Forget waitin', this ain't a feature, this is my tape |
|
Time waits for no man so why the heck should |
|
I wait? I could probably run this town if |
|
I'd like but |
|
I'm straight |
|
Take a walk in my shoes if you choose size 8 |
|
You might just feel the presence of the |
|
Holy Spirit |
|
They say I'm a changed man, if the shoe fits wear it |
|
I used to think that this was just all entertainment |
|
So I did and said anything |
|
I could get away with |
|
Any consequences, |
|
I'm the one that's gotta live with it |
|
The last thing |
|
I'm tryna be now is a hypocrite |
|
Cause it boils down to way more than what |
|
I write Ultimately |
|
I'm defined by how |
|
I live my life |
|
Knew I had to change my ways and believe in what's right |
|
Til this day |
|
I still got my own demons to fight |
|
If I had to do it on my own, no doubt |
|
I'd be a goner |
|
But I will be victorious cause |
|
God is in my corner |
|
The freedom of expression is truly a gift |
|
It can be used to destroy or used to uplift |
|
If I had to list my flaws there's plenty |
|
I could mention |
|
But through it all |
|
I never had any bad intentions |
|
Never thought the youth would take heed to what |
|
I say First and foremost |
|
I apologize for leadin' you astray |
|
Movin' right along, now's the time to right the wrongs |
|
So I think long and hard before |
|
I start to write a song |
|
Cause as an artist for every track that you create |
|
Ain't no way to know the type of impact you can make |
|
On one person or society as a whole |
|
I'm hopin' through these lines you can see inside my soul |
|
Take a long hard look and you'll start to see the light |
|
It's an autobiographical story of my life |
|
On the cover just a plain book, here's the missin' factor |
|
I'm still the same book, y'all, just on a different chapter |
|
The next generation is headed for disaster |
|
Rappers blamin' parents and the parents blame the rappers |
|
A lack of substance, what you hear is so hollow |
|
I feel you, you ain't here to be nobody's role model |
|
I know you're tryna eat, no lie, so am |
|
I You shouldn't be offended if what |
|
I say just don't apply |
|
We need more of the truth than the game instead of less |
|
It's bigger than |
|
Hiphop, Dead |
|
Prez said it best |
|
You're probly listenin' like "Who's this guy to tell me how to live?" |
|
You're right, |
|
I don't know you but |
|
I know I'm positive |
|
If it's in my power to extend a helpin' hand |
|
Not even as a rapper, but as a fellow man |
|
This is good versus evil, it's time to choose a side |
|
I will never be perfect but at least |
|
I know I tried |
|
Uh, Say Something |
