lyrics

My influence goes beyond
the ones who introduced me
to this rappin’ shit
It’s hard to take your time
when you pursing something
that could happen rapid quick
Your mind will play them games
and it will force you to adapt to it
Naturalist but also supernaturalist

So when I grabbed the pen
I became a philanthropist
If hearts could measure love
mine will tell you I was passionate
I fell in love with patterns
that created bad habits
Drink until we numb
and then bad happens

I remember
Piss poor trappin’
Weed baggage
If they pull me over
Your honor, I don’t traffic
Momma I been sober
No, I’m no savage
I done touched some green
but it’s old, it’s old cabbage

This a lil somethin’ for the come up
Momma said the grace
way before we seen the sun up
I was in the rain hoping we gon’ see the summer
Hoping, hoping we gon’ see the summer

This a lil somethin’ for the come up
Momma said the grace
way before we seen the sun up
I was in the rain hoping we gon’ see the summer
Hoping we gon’ see the summer

I move with intention
A lack of respect
Gon’ teach you detention
Oh the misery’s written
The world is a prison
I’m done with these (women)
I’m done with these women
I’m joking, I’m kidding

Provoking prescription
They offer me drugs
I think they love is a drug
They say a girl is a gun
No pun intended
Think first and do more then
Take you a minute
Respect yourself first
And you can
Get you some winnings

Try to understand other
different beginnings
It’s more to life then critics
And silence and crickets
The ones without the voice
The ones who really listen
Negative thoughts I heard
I started penning

This a lil somethin’ for the come up
Momma said the grace
way before we seen the sun up
I was in the rain hoping we gon’ see the summer
Hoping, hoping we gon’ see the summer

This a lil somethin’ for the come up
Momma said the grace
way before we seen the sun up
I was in the rain hoping we gon’ see the summer
Hoping we gon’ see the summer
