Call me a sympathetic, never could begin to get it How they live their lives without a shred of love to get ahead, but Ultimately, they're moving backwards, I'm sitting gorgeous Gotta get to counting my blessings before they light their torches Burn down my house of cards and every item that I own Take my materials darling, you'll never take my throne Still sitting high and mighty way above your petty greed I built a life full of meaning and now the money bleeds Divided in smaller streams, I hardly can call it green Last thing I'm worried 'bout is currency coming between My mission and my motivation, laziness has no relation Everything's connected in this astral ocean, no one's racing No one's winning, no one is playing God by its definition Manipulation of money, politics and religion Never took me by surprise, only in its scale and scope Crazy how I'm talking is where all these parents fail to go It's not a reach, it's not a stretch, we live in conspiracies so enormous I whisper and see my ads refresh I wake up knowing that every sentence is on the record That's why I dream and then every morning I'm doing better That's why I learn from my surroundings and recycle on wax They want to call it a label, DONT TRIP got no strings attached We're just a couple of brothers coming up one and the same We're laying down all this fire just to release all the pain I put my dreams in a sequence, frequencies started to change And now I ask myself - why did I never dance in the rain? Why did I never see the beauty in the glare of the sun? Why did I ask for permission, I went and made me the one I wrote myself a new testament, locked it up in my drawer They hit me asking for quotas on quotes, the ceiling's the floor The Four Agreements, it got me reading, unlearning the hate Soon after, burning an eighth was moderation Protecting my energy 'cause I know its worth and they tryna take it And I'm so grateful for everything you ever gave me I wouldn't be here if Kendrick didn't crown himself on BET I was thirteen when he freestyled on my TV screen From then I started my studies, pure curiosity Hoping to find some lightning in a bottle or a prophecy I wouldn't be here if my high school never let me rock Crowd surfing as a freshman, that shit can't be topped And all the kids who showed me love and played a song or two Who sent me videos from cars and parties bumping tunes I wouldn't be here if my exes didn't leave me broken Somewhat reluctant to trust, but I'm here steady hoping One day, my path just might intersect with a single soul I'll let the universe realign and I'll let you know I wouldn't be here if my parents didn't help every Christmas, gifting me with equipment Hoping I use all my gifts and make a statement so rich that It just pays off all the bills, I'm working momma, I promise I'm 'bout my business I wouldn't be here if the boys had never told me no My brothers got me, we DONT TRIP and it really shows I wouldn't be here if my fear had killed me long ago I wouldn't be here if I signed my name with X and O I wouldn't be here if I didn't learn from then before I couldn't be here if I took revenge, the art of war I shouldn't be here 'cause I could've gave you so much more But I'll do everything I can to help this world and all my people 'fore I'm gone And maybe if we get a happy ending, we can make a movie, I'll perfect the score And I'm so grateful for everything you ever gave me
