Made it out the matrix Now I’m back to save it I was really in the basement Bagging gas for payment I was sliding in that feild but Wasn’t stealing bases I could’ve easily got killed Or still be in them cages But I’ve awakened I learned the basics I was mistaken They had me thinking that smoking drinking Would be my way in I grabbed a pistol I wasn’t playing I started spraying I felt that power it felt amazing I can’t explain it It’s like they turned me into double agent Got us killing our own kind That shit fucked up ain’t it Hurt people hurt people guess the pain contagious That’s why they try to brain wash us with this entertainment Don’t you see it’s just propaganda they circulating How many rappers you know really doing what they saying How many white people really own the songs we be singing Is that coincidence or is that the strategy dayum And since I mention this they prolly be after me now Niggas be sensitive so some people mad at me wow Learn your history this coin tel pro with the sound But I’ve told to expose how they keep black down Think about you did a Jew and you getting canceled But rap about murdering black men and they send advances And you can disrespect women long as it get me dancing But if I’m speaking the truth then my album don’t no chances Don’t want me talking investments and building up finances They rather I rap bout flexing so we stay disadvantaged They want us rapping bout sex so we take our love granted Meanwhile we not talking bout how they killing the planet I ain’t go to college they had me in bondage But the lifers they held hostage blessed me with knowledge They taught me it’s not bout what happened but how you responded I turned them lessons into deposits I never forgot it So I ain’t here to question what God Did I just changed my life around that’s a plot twist There were times I was homeless I was jobless Now I’m paying artists I just started a nonprofit God Did , Then I Did, I’m back in the booth to correct this nonsense I do this for the youth who listening and watching I do this for them jumpsuits trynna make it out them boxes Like I did I haven’t forgotten Everybody gangsta until it’s time to lock in Hold up that’s my radical talking I be channeling Huey p Newton and Marcus Garvey Fuck it im resurrecting the party Momma told me talking like this gon make me a target Momma said they gon try do you like they did martin I told her mom you raised a king they gon try it regardless This time we playing offense I’m not accepting no offers they gon have to come off us Ima show em how to boss up my contract w/the creator that’s karma in my clauses I ran up my resources even though the odds against me were enormous I’m really transforming this is not just a performance I’ll hop anybody beat and go tyrannosaurus I’m sick of this ignorance I’ve been out here trynna cure us y’all just out here talking more ish while I’m out here on my moorish from poverty to sovereignty It’s written in the stars this the church if astrology Been giving people jobs we creating an economy I just switched up the hustle so now we doing it honorably God did Ironically I’m talking bout the god that’s inside of me I’m talking bout the god they tried to hide from me Before you try to kyrie Who really owe apologies

I’m just trynna free people This miseducation lethal Y’all democracy deceitful Why should my protests be peaceful Assassinated all my heroes Now freedom of speech illegal Hit ysl with the Rico I guess they no longer need em Army’s growing stronger even Only leaders at the meetings I get jail calls every evening The fallen soldiers send their greetings We popping out at court proceedings Every case it got a weakness We gotta stop playing defense I told em fuck a plea a greement It’s a war on the horizon I been busy organizing Adversaries put a check on me like I work for Verizon If you do do it expertly That’s just what I advise him when it rains it storms I rise out the water like I’m Poseidon I will not let nothing stop me I got god inside my body I was raised on hugs and takis The path I chose was lil rocky But I stayed ten toes I got the corns to show Just look at my feet I was going to war with cos when y’all was listening to takashi When I went to school the teachers tried to tell me what I could not be The system teaching kids how to be slaves I think that’s out of pocket We taking student debt to the grave why did you pay for college They taught us our success is based off grades but I just never bought it I told em come invest get on this train but they just never caught it When you see me step onto that stage you better start recording You know whatever I’m about to say you gon want to absorb it Look how we growing this movement you gon want to support it I’m just here following orders I’m just here opening portals Got to be strong for my daughters I’m in the gym every morning My reinforcements been spawning tribe always answer the calling If it ain’t bout freedom don’t invite I dont want no involvement I know too many people who want to fight because I been evolving I heard your music it don’t excite me you glorifying trauma I know too many kids rather be like lil durk than be like Obama Yall don’t be caring what you say in your verse like it’s not your problem But the hoods you from getting worst so you moved out your momma What if you put some of your net worth back into where you come from Instead of spending it on cars clothes and Instagram models What if instead of just having fame you really used your power Ok while y’all think about that Ima help my city bounce back To anyone who counted us out You should fire your accountant I be in the trenches scouting Well aware of my surroundings Everyone ain’t welcomed here your gps might start rerouting A lot of people sold they soul to make it out it was discounted They tell you don’t get caught w/out it When you come up in public housing I always tell em just be grounded a little faith can move a mountain If you believe then you achieve it ain’t no other way around it

I thought you said you were down for me You wasn’t down for me you had just wanted the clout from me But I’m not a mad you I’m just moving different Honestly I been growing rapidly Actually nothing distracting me I’m in a mission I’ve been building up my capacity I am a king you should call me his majesty No I am a god yes I have the audacity I talk to spirit bout all of my problems Learn to survive upstate during lock up I got some friends that take pictures with choppas But I’m on parole so I had to block em Heavy security at all my concerts Dirt that I did in the past on my conscience I’m not the same that we can acknowledge But what does that mean to them niggas I shot at We get caught up in these cycles of violence I put my gun down cause these jails over crowded I’m reading the stars when I need some guidance I’m fighting for freedom my people divided Sipping kumbucha I feel like I’m future If you don’t take care of your kids you a loser They be so bold behind they computers I don’t even know what you ever contributed I work so hard and still feel like I’m slacking Part of the trauma that I’m still unpacking She live her life through them Instagram captions I’m not gonna lie to me that’s unattractive don’t watch the news because I know what happened Talked to his mom and it filled me with sadness Lost too many friends so I don’t make attachments Rel had got killed my heart broke into fragments Oh my god there’s so many murders I know why my city is hurting I know I’m here for a purpose If I die I hope that it’s worth it Sometimes I feel like it’s curses So I’m trying hard to reverse it Free my guys nobody perfect Nobody perfect
