[00:00.00] Resilient (Explicit) - Substantial
[00:10.19] The television say that I'm suppose to be a crook
[00:12.38] The message is the same on every station that I look
[00:14.62] Gonna hide something from me they say put it in a book
[00:17.13] 'Cause that's the last place that a simpleton would look
[00:19.32] But sorry to disappoint never been to the clink
[00:21.77] Known to kill sh*t just not the way that you think
[00:24.26] And not afraid to do just that I ain't stupid
[00:26.57] Some get brain then act scared to use it
[00:29.32] That there is foolish
[00:30.37] You've got me mistaken
[00:31.25] Got too much love to waste my life hatin'
[00:34.06] Suppose to rhyme about the money I be makin'
[00:36.43] Dessert chef stee my G strictly cakin'
[00:38.93] But if I did that then clearly I'd be fakin'
[00:41.29] Instead I rhyme about the difference I be makin'
[00:43.67] Suppose to be a rapper I'm an MC
[00:46.10] You'd be one too if you knew your history
[00:48.60] We went from toastin' boastin' to loafin'
[00:51.16] Pioneers pissed that they left the door open
[00:53.47] We're suppose to make them proud I still plan to
[00:55.90] By kicking all these lame men out Substantial's
[00:58.40] Suppose to be a quitter and absentee father
[01:00.45] But I figure what's more precious than my daughter
[01:02.96] Nada Develop her mind so she's smarter
[01:05.51] And destined to do great things like her father
[01:09.19] Speak about it
[01:09.93] Then I be about it
[01:10.99] Where would I be without it
[01:11.99] Brilliant
[01:13.96] Speak about it
[01:14.53] Then I be about it
[01:15.46] Where would I be without it
[01:16.65] Resilient
[01:18.44] Speak about it
[01:19.31] Then I be about it
[01:20.44] Where would I be without it
[01:21.56] Brilliant
[01:23.65] Speak about it
[01:24.09] Then I be about it
[01:25.15] Where would I be without it
[01:26.46] Resilient
[01:28.51] I'm suppose to be homeless
[01:30.20] Slept on the floors of my brothers no Jonas
[01:32.39] So I ain't thinkin' 'bout opponents
[01:35.07] Went from the couch surfer to an homeowner
[01:37.31] Where I'm from that's called progress
[01:39.81] I'm the truth indeed I plead no contest
[01:42.00] I'm suppose to be a thief no conscious
[01:44.43] Only stole the show at sold out concerts
[01:47.79] And never sold any kinda
[01:49.53] Contraband to no man No ganja
[01:51.84] Don't let the locks fool ya y'all got me twisted
[01:54.15] No sice no stereotype no statistic
[01:56.09] Shape up or ship out in this game
[01:58.77] Take a little off the top go against the grain
[02:01.20] And keep my cuts bold refuse to be faded
[02:03.70] But when your green's light you're usually jaded
[02:06.39] Speak about it
[02:07.82] Then I be about it
[02:08.76] Where would I be without it
[02:10.06] Brilliant
[02:12.13] Speak about it
[02:12.69] Then I be about it
[02:13.68] Where would I be without it
[02:14.93] Resilient
[02:16.49] Speak about it
[02:17.27] Then I be about it
[02:18.76] Where would I be without it

[02:21.01] Speak about it
[02:22.26] Then I be about it
[02:23.27] Where would I be without it
[02:24.64] Resilient
[02:25.76] I'm suppose to be a failure
[02:26.76] But I catch breaks
[02:28.01] Like a breath of fresh air and the snare's my inhaler
[02:29.95] Brought a brother back when I should've been silenced
[02:32.57] I'm suppose to be a victim of gun violence
[02:35.56] Thrice
[02:36.37] But my spirits defiant
[02:37.69] The earth gave birth to a sun with a vibrant
[02:39.87] Light
[02:41.05] But my heart should be black
[02:42.73] Overcompensating for everything that I lack
[02:45.09] In fact I'm the polar opposite of that
[02:46.90] But they act like I only play sports and sell crack
[02:49.59] And/Or rap I can be that and much more
[02:52.21] Came a long way though they tried to leave me cut short
[02:54.83] Hard work pays what I need luck for
[02:57.34] Guess I was suppose to be scared of a shut door
[02:59.65] Can't halt my train of thoughts conductor
[03:01.33] Express lines nonstop when tracks cut off
[03:04.70] Speak about it
[03:05.95] Then I be about it
[03:07.14] Where would I be without it
[03:08.32] Brilliant
[03:10.19] Speak about it
[03:10.82] Then I be about it
[03:11.75] Where would I be without it
[03:13.08] Resilient
[03:14.52] Speak about it
[03:15.33] Then I be about it
[03:16.57] Where would I be without it
[03:17.82] Brilliant
[03:19.82] Speak about it
[03:20.32] Then I be about it
[03:21.32] Where would I be without it
