| [00:34.89] |
Eh, uh huh |
| [00:37.27] |
Lawd, Knowledge |
| [00:41.27] |
Uh huh, eh |
| [00:44.20] |
Off with they heads again |
| [00:45.57] |
Lost my philosophy |
| [00:46.97] |
Blood from the guillotine drips causing a shallow puddle |
| [00:49.34] |
Watch it trickle down to the gutter to please the peons |
| [00:52.12] |
Going inside a cluster of thoughts, they all negative |
| [00:54.59] |
My attention span isn't vast, it's vague and vulnerable, yes |
| [00:57.44] |
I feel the test of character, I can't continue to fall |
| [01:00.14] |
These passages passing judgement like relics wrote 'em theyselves |
| [01:03.09] |
Religious leaders and hypocritical seekers that read a chapter and only take from what they can gain |
| [01:07.41] |
My frame of mind is fine in sanctity, it's sheltered from hate |
| [01:10.25] |
I state the obvious for some, I feel like most can't relate |
| [01:12.89] |
Embrace the pain I took from solitude like love to the youth |
| [01:15.63] |
I get in the booth, I'm moving and getting a boot |
| [01:17.30] |
I said that I'm searching for truth, living aloof |
| [01:19.18] |
So why are you looking confused? |
| [01:20.15] |
I do whatever I choose |
| [01:21.07] |
I've been aware of the consequences and the repercussions |
| [01:23.14] |
Complicated cousins I will cut 'em off |
| [01:24.27] |
I am self efficient so it's **** 'em all |
| [01:25.75] |
And if it ain't about you then don't get involved |
| [01:27.07] |
I am working to make it all possible |
| [01:28.28] |
I can overcome the obstacles |
| [01:29.80] |
No one is living this life but me |
| [01:31.13] |
Story like I'm Mephistopheles |
| [01:32.45] |
I wanna sit for a second |
| [01:33.47] |
I don't think anyone listen |
| [01:34.38] |
Taking a moment, I'm making 'em realize that it's my time and I want it all |
| [01:37.17] |
For the simple fact I'm on another level |
| [01:38.50] |
People talk but they ain't really ready |
| [01:40.02] |
I could give a **** about a failure |
| [01:41.53] |
Never sorry and I tried to tell ya |
| [01:42.49] |
Confidence, that shit can get ya killed |
| [01:43.93] |
Death in dozens over dollar bills |
| [01:45.34] |
Shit get realer when the rent is due |
| [01:46.60] |
Anything for you to make it through |
| [01:47.88] |
Destitution ain't a ****ing option, it's a ****ing problem, I'ma find the answer |
| [01:50.72] |
You pedantic with your pessimism |
| [01:51.73] |
Do revision on your attitude |
| [01:53.19] |
Motivated, tryna make it happen |
| [01:54.68] |
This life's a game but I like to play it |
| [01:55.90] |
Satanic forces wanna hold me back |
| [01:57.25] |
But I been focused on a holy land |
| [01:58.61] |
Like a resurrection out of Nazareth |
| [01:59.71] |
And I'm a labyrinth with this rapping shit |
| [02:01.41] |
I been maximizing all my potential |
| [02:02.56] |
Like expose a loss and don't show a win |
| [02:03.72] |
But I chose to live with my list of sins |
| [02:05.15] |
If you listening, I make it obvious |
| [02:06.67] |
I can't contradict for no dollar sign |
| [02:07.70] |
I don't feel connected to a net worth |
| [02:09.11] |
So I keep pushing and I hope it works |
| [02:10.43] |
I feel like I'm running in place, nowhere to escape |
| [02:12.01] |
I'm stuck in a vigorous chase |
| [02:13.33] |
Illicitly setting the tempo and pace |
| [02:14.50] |
I never settle for less, expressing emotions I used to repress |
| [02:17.33] |
The lyrical fashion in which I confessed |
| [02:18.15] |
I fight for my sanity, I will contest |
| [02:19.53] |
But nevertheless, I'm working, admitting my stress |
| [02:21.45] |
Finding a way to relate, these people are fake |
| [02:22.84] |
They giving me hate like a fade |
| [02:24.10] |
As though I should pay attention, you don't get a mention |
| [02:25.86] |
Measure me by the man that I am |
| [02:27.03] |
A nigga that's playing his hand |
| [02:28.79] |
Now you understand, I do this shit without no help |
| [02:29.84] |
Self-appointed poet pushing limits |
| [02:30.66] |
Putting my all into every sentence |
| [02:32.13] |
Sanctified by the all mighty |
| [02:33.51] |
Very focused is the way you find me |
| [02:34.77] |
Meeker man'll give a pissed opinion |
| [02:36.50] |
Bitter life, and better life created |
| [02:37.69] |
Innovative boy to say the least |
| [02:38.67] |
I've been a ****ing beast, I'm off the ****ing leash |
| [02:39.98] |
But I will not retreat, I don't care for it |
| [02:41.60] |
I accepted the life that I chose so I stay composed |
| [02:43.38] |
But niggas ain't feeling me tho' |
| [02:44.45] |
Lawd |
| [02:45.56] |
Knowledge, nigga |
| [02:47.92] |
Dave West on the beat |
| [02:49.39] |
Uh huh, uh huh, lawd, eh |
