You know I had to say something 
Jin Do I wait for the beat to drop or do 
I start here? 
Check it Forget waitin', this ain't a feature, this is my tape 
Time waits for no man so why the heck should 
I wait? I could probably run this town if 
I'd like but 
I'm straight 
Take a walk in my shoes if you choose size 8 
You might just feel the presence of the 
Holy Spirit 
They say I'm a changed man, if the shoe fits wear it 
I used to think that this was just all entertainment 
So I did and said anything 
I could get away with 
Any consequences, 
I'm the one that's gotta live with it 
The last thing 
I'm tryna be now is a hypocrite 
Cause it boils down to way more than what 
I write Ultimately 
I'm defined by how 
I live my life 
Knew I had to change my ways and believe in what's right 
Til this day 
I still got my own demons to fight 
If I had to do it on my own, no doubt 
I'd be a goner 
But I will be victorious cause 
God is in my corner 
The freedom of expression is truly a gift 
It can be used to destroy or used to uplift 
If I had to list my flaws there's plenty 
I could mention 
But through it all 
I never had any bad intentions 
Never thought the youth would take heed to what 
I say First and foremost 
I apologize for leadin' you astray 
Movin' right along, now's the time to right the wrongs 
So I think long and hard before 
I start to write a song 
Cause as an artist for every track that you create 
Ain't no way to know the type of impact you can make 
On one person or society as a whole 
I'm hopin' through these lines you can see inside my soul 
Take a long hard look and you'll start to see the light 
It's an autobiographical story of my life 
On the cover just a plain book, here's the missin' factor 
I'm still the same book, y'all, just on a different chapter 
The next generation is headed for disaster 
Rappers blamin' parents and the parents blame the rappers 
A lack of substance, what you hear is so hollow 
I feel you, you ain't here to be nobody's role model 
I know you're tryna eat, no lie, so am 
I You shouldn't be offended if what 
I say just don't apply 
We need more of the truth than the game instead of less 
It's bigger than 
Hiphop, Dead 
Prez said it best 
You're probly listenin' like "Who's this guy to tell me how to live?" 
You're right, 
I don't know you but 
I know I'm positive 
If it's in my power to extend a helpin' hand 
Not even as a rapper, but as a fellow man 
This is good versus evil, it's time to choose a side 
I will never be perfect but at least 
I know I tried 
Uh, Say Something
