You buried me thinking I wouldn't pop up
Threes day and three nights later like I was Lazarus
Water me with the drama, I shoulder all of your trauma
That got absolutely nothing to do with me, it's an honor
I know some people wanna put two in me, that ain't new to me
Envy in they eyes, I'm only doing what's true to me
My flow is froze
You ain't getting close with 32 degrees of separation
You don't even know my type of dedication
Rock bottom where you find gems hidden in revelation
Looking up at Jah, "You couldn't bless me with a better basement"
I know how to generate passive dollars for generations
Better then scholars and never resort to degradation
I've got these scars from war these ain't for decoration
Thick skin, moving with love, peace is my destination
Made it with people around me saying, "You'll never make it"
Now they get the point, I don't need to hear the exclamation
I forgive a hater, I tell them to save the explanation
I enjoy the ironic vanity in your demonstrations
I been off the grid with my family seeing shit you could prolly see
If you wasn't fixated on me
I'm on a record really having these conversations for free
Giving you my hard earned lessons, knowledge and grief
Making noise, something like an automatic weapon
I'm spraying it from my chest 'til the chopper coming for me
They dream of rapping like me, and I run a track in my sleep
No exaggeration I wrote this shit in my sheets
Wake up when I wanna, fly to Paris when I wanna
I ain't really got a ceiling, the definition of free
And freedom come with bravery, word to Harriet Tubman
And freedom like my coffee, I need it daily to function
And bravery is simply a vital function for love
October baby coming, it's time to bring out the pumpkins
I made all of my dreams come true 
So now it's time to pay it forward, it's a feast, come through
I waded through those muddy waters, and pulled myself out that quick sand
To get the shit I got, my people need something too
I put the work in on my mind, I had to see something new
I shared my journey with my people, here read something cool
It make me happy when I head that it's helping you and your growth
'Cause I know that feeling well, and you should feel that too
And I been calling for these sunny days
Good kids, solid women, houses and my money straight
I know my dad love me, he just show it in a funny way
Even when it's raining I treat it like it's my lucky day
I don't give a f*ck what you think about me and my funny face
That's another level of freedom, thank you humiliation
The devil never let you go without a battle and a battle is what you need
To make it to where it's royal and green
Take in the scene, it's a dream
