 Struggling with Evolution? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I wanna expand my brain but I'm trapped in prison 
Got me shackled up with chains for the maximum sentence 
I'm tryna get out my ways and bring me back to senses 
And maybe teach myself some game and turn my rags to riches, hm 

Ain't no excuse we all start at the bottom 
Gotta learn to speak your truth 
And that's just part of the process 
Shit, if I ain't disillusioned 
Guess I'm part of the problem
You pulling flowwers out the roots 
When I just wanted to blossom 
And I'm exhausted but I tried my best
We need to change 'cause we was tried of stress 
Tyna flex 
Bought you a chain but couldn't buy respect 
I'm not impressed 
We can't evolve unless we follow steps 
It's not a test 
I'm tired of frontin' like we're not oppressed
And I thought if I was rich
Then all my problems be through 
'Til I made a few million 
And now I got more problems than you 
I know it feels good to win
But it hurts a lot when you lose 
Don't ever say what you gon' do
Unless you following through

I'm talking execution 
Uh
And I don't know where I'm going 
But I'm learning as I'm growing
That's the evolution 
Hope I don't finish last 
I'm still healin' from my past
I need some retribution 
Did a lot of gettin' even 
But I'm sick and tired of beefin' 
What's the resolution?
I'm talkin evolution
 
I gotta be honest
I never thought that I would pop this quickly
Feels good to look at my phone and see Rihanna hit me 
Nah, it ain't no no shit like that
Shorty a goddess to me 
Just one of my friends that I can vent to 
When my conscience get me 
Look I ain't into what niggas is doin'
I'm on some other shit 
I never been a type to turn up and be on that clever shit 
I'm lookin at niggas like
"Bruh, you grown, how you still love this shit?
I'd rather be home and watch some movies with my son and shit 
'Cause I ain't trying to impress nobody that shit get old quick 
Like staring at an old flick
Tryna travel back in '06
Maybe hope for what I won't get 
All that temporary happiness only last 'til you grow sick
And them lights start to grow dim 
And the walls start to close in 
And then time starts to pass you by 
Don't act surprised 
Better be careful what you ask from god 
I had some jobs, shit, I quit and took control my nigga 
Got tired of building companies up that I ain't own my nigga
It's time to grow my nigga, evolution 

(Na, na, na, na na) 

And I don't know where I'm going 
But I'm learning as I'm growing
That's the evolution 
Hope I don't finish last 
I'm still healing from my past
I need some retribution 
Did a lot of gettin' even 
But I'm sick and tired of beefin' 
What's the resolution?
I'm talkin' evolution

(Na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na)
