| [00:05.20] |
Yo, it's taking a lot for me to give y'all all of me |
| [00:13.30] |
For y'all to take it and run with it and turn it into some *****t that it's not |
| [00:18.86] |
Yo, exceeded my expectations a while ago |
| [00:23.50] |
They wondering why Dizzy the one that's always smiling for |
| [00:26.31] |
I listen a lot and look at everything I done accomplished, mane |
| [00:29.13] |
Still, my baby girl and son is the main thing that I value most |
| [00:31.90] |
Family, ***** a xanny, I'm puffing on this flower though |
| [00:34.67] |
You piece of *****t, no thang, we keep it lit |
| [00:36.85] |
No hard feelings, don't ever change, don't ever quit |
| [00:39.11] |
When I found out living legends still exist, I knew I had to commit |
| [00:42.63] |
So I heard that this new generation was waiting on me |
| [00:45.17] |
After The Golden Age, these old heads been praying for me |
| [00:48.00] |
To get involved, maybe vent to y'all, and make an impact |
| [00:51.15] |
Better plant a seed and water that ***** and watch it grow |
| [00:53.51] |
Now how many times I gotta say it? I been down and out |
| [00:56.32] |
But you only get so many chances till you're fouling out |
| [00:59.13] |
And I'm like, "Let me live without taking no breaths" |
| [01:01.90] |
My mind is focused on which task I'm finna take on next, uh |
| [01:05.54] |
I think back when I just hung with my dawgs |
| [01:07.50] |
My mama could never keep a man cause we was running him off |
| [01:10.32] |
Needed a father figure but I don't like how he coming across |
| [01:13.02] |
He end up gone, she was sad but I felt like that's his loss |
| [01:15.90] |
I told her, "Never bend your head, look the world straight in the eyes" |
| [01:18.80] |
"You deserve love, but a queen don't need a king to survive" |
| [01:21.57] |
And it's a blessing to be able to rap and not feed y'all lies |
| [01:24.50] |
Or fake my happiness like everything's just fine |
| [01:27.26] |
I mean, we all human beings but we not alike |
| [01:29.58] |
Cause the loudest on the Internet get to sleep through a quiet night |
| [01:32.36] |
It's a big difference and it's teaching me a lot about who we are, how like |
| [01:35.38] |
Money don't change people, it just bring out who they truly are |
| [01:38.00] |
Man, I done seen the most from coast to coast |
| [01:39.80] |
They got us crossing over the border line |
| [01:41.56] |
I don't got all the answers but we need to be more organized |
| [01:44.44] |
So here's a little enlightening for your peace of mind |
| [01:46.76] |
Everything you need in this life you live will come at the perfect time |
| [01:50.08] |
In God we trust (So God bless America) |
| [01:52.02] |
Born in royalty, they can't take that from us |
| [01:54.70] |
No matter what, runs through our blood |
| [01:57.50] |
We have the power, we just lack the trust (trust) |
| [02:01.70] |
Just have your faith and believe |
| [02:03.75] |
Keep calm, my young kings and queens |
| [02:05.82] |
Watch and you'll see, and when that day comes (when that day comes) |
| [02:11.12] |
May God bless America |
| [02:12.44] |
Uh, follow me, follow me through the hard*****ps |
| [02:15.02] |
Pardon my need to be swift with how I start this speech |
| [02:18.32] |
Who you more like? Malcolm or Martin? |
| [02:20.50] |
The game that they play with us, brother, don't have no cartridge |
| [02:23.50] |
Button mashers, disaster casters, they ass backwards |
| [02:26.56] |
I might slave for a meal but you ain't my master |
| [02:29.33] |
Running through the field, all I hear is laughter |
| [02:32.13] |
Cause them chains that kept us here can no longer capture |
| [02:34.89] |
The heart of my folk, foot on my the throat of my oppressor |
| [02:38.00] |
For all of them ropes, they tied a tree for my ancestors |
| [02:40.64] |
If limbs could talk, they'd cry for days |
| [02:42.81] |
Sad, they gave all they had but couldn't break under pressure |
| [02:46.23] |
Blood on the leaves, Glock on the dresser |
| [02:48.32] |
Them laws plotting, protect and serve but I know better |
| [02:51.18] |
The news a lie, to you and I, TV ain't real |
| [02:54.15] |
So don't you try, to be like none of them Housewives |
| [02:57.22] |
Selling us fools' gold |
| [02:59.09] |
Tell a son to slang **** and daughter twerk when they get old |
| [03:02.08] |
Damn shame, how we find time to sit around |
| [03:05.26] |
Smoking and dranking, while they corporate banking |
| [03:07.59] |
Don't be content with the hood, *****, what is you thinking? |
| [03:10.47] |
I got a small violin if you don't vote for complaining |
| [03:13.19] |
About the government, stand up on some brother *****t |
| [03:16.43] |
And stop being on some other *****t, God bless America |
| [03:19.80] |
Despite all the barriers |
| [03:21.98] |
If you do whatever you do every day |
| [03:25.14] |
You can get it |
| [03:27.91] |
I did it |
| [03:29.85] |
From the poorest, they said I gotta push for all my dreams and they flourished |
| [03:32.91] |
Then a forest full of obstacles, I got the **** cause I'm morest |
| [03:35.74] |
Don't ignore it, that I built this vocab without a thesaurus |
| [03:38.39] |
When the war is pressing, they be asking me questions like Katie Couric |
| [03:41.26] |
Like, "Did you sell **** when you fell broke?" |
| [03:43.59] |
Tryna stop a male's hope who never dropped the jail soap |
| [03:46.23] |
Made it up out of Hell's scope, they ask, can I spell "vote"? |
| [03:49.08] |
I'm feeling like they tryna tell jokes, Chappelle wrote |
| [03:51.98] |
I'm a U.S. citizen escaping the penitentiary they hid us in |
| [03:55.34] |
The kid has been fitted to quit and then spit it and *****t again |
| [03:58.35] |
But I became noble and well-rounded like an oval |
| [04:00.65] |
Never will I be grounded for disposal |
| [04:02.06] |
Everybody be astounded by the mogul, Tech N9ne! |
| [04:04.31] |
No more saying, "I can't afford this" |
| [04:06.20] |
Even when I was down, my plan was to never abort this |
| [04:09.01] |
Don't forget, they said I sold my soul, that's horse *****t |
| [04:11.81] |
Cause I simply thought my way onto the Forbes List |
| [04:13.94] |
So God bless America |
| [04:15.70] |
In God we trust |
| [04:17.00] |
Born in royalty, they can't take that from us |
| [04:19.80] |
No matter what, runs through our blood |
| [04:22.60] |
We have the power, we just lack the trust (trust) |
| [04:26.77] |
Just have your faith and believe |
| [04:28.90] |
Keep calm, my young kings and queens |
| [04:31.00] |
Watch and you'll see, and when that day comes (when that day comes) |
| [04:36.10] |
May God bless America |
| [04:39.23] |
