Yo Yo, this is for all my Progressive Thinkers
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Cautious with the image that I’m givin’
|
What used to be appealin’ is the shit that I’m resentin’
|
Feel like I ain’t livin’, I’m dealin’ with so much
|
On the low, I’m actin’ tough, but I ain’t been happy in a minute
|
And what’s crazy is this is just the beginning
|
Ridin’ ’round Vegas tryna build my foundation
|
That immediate happiness is awaitin’
|
But I feel it’s overrated, I’m keepin’ a clear conscience
|
I just wanna do my own thing
|
A good heart
|
But what if I’m out here fightin’ for the wrong things?
|
Became a daddy and started watching my behaviour
|
Helpin’ niggas out, but niggas runnin’ out of favours
|
It ain’t about the paper, it’s about what you gon’ do with it
|
You on your music tup, but tell me, is you the creator?
|
These niggas don’t know how to act
|
I should’ve been a school counselor
|
To see what they’d get out of that
|
All I wanna do is help, if it’s a little
|
Got up in this game to really try and make a change
|
Wanna settle down, but this shit is so confusin’
|
I’m just goin’ through a stage where I’m learnin’ how to be brave
|
Fuck a phase, this is life, all I need is me
|
Look into my daughter’s eyes and then I get the water eyes
|
If I die, I pray to God she know her father tried, word…
|
|
[Hook]
|
‘Cause we just wanna our lives
|
Embraced faith, went against all odds
|
In our eyes, to judge niggas, that is not our job
|
To be a man, it is not that hard
|
We gon’ kill ‘em with kindness
|
When they try to take you out your comfort zone
|
Ayo, it’s time to be a man, understand, we gon’ kill ‘em with kindness
|
And you know you gotta fuckin’ hold your own
|
Can’t let them take us away from the fam’
|
We gon’ kill ‘em with kindness
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Now I’m thinkin’ in reality
|
Actually, I was thinkin’ ’bout stability
|
I watched my single mother’s feet hurt for years
|
Just to barely pay the bills ? I don’t know, that shit’s killin’ me
|
But I don’t wanna live like that
|
Mama, I don’t wanna see you live like that
|
I told my little brothers we can build a new life
|
For the ones that gave us life, we can give that back
|
I know we… tend to hold grudges
|
I can’t control it, I’m unfolding the emotion that I’m holdin’
|
Hope the way I saw it ain’t the way I won’t approach it
|
I’m just focussed on the better me, this rap shit is my pedigree
|
Lately I’ve been feelin’ like testin’ me
|
She say she down, and she say she wanna ride
|
Release the need to please or be validated by eyes
|
In disguise, I’m just focussed on what makes me come alive
|
I’ve learned not to take nothin’ personal
|
Bad environments have been my disadvantage
|
Not tryna be accepted, it stepped me out of my box
|
And now these niggas watch me like I got all of the answers
|
But this is what I’ve built for myself
|
Realistic, always had to keep it real with myself
|
So when they talk, and it’s negative or it’s false
|
We channel out the negative thoughts without any help
|
