[Verse 1: Awon]

Even in my untimely absence

My fam will be good cuz I've been really good at rappin

The weight of tomorrow weigh heavily

The rap gods told me add truth to the melody

I've been strugglin to cope with the day to day

Full of hope but can we really pray the pain away?

It's been a long hot summer that's word to Ace

Maintaining my grace trying not to catch a case

It's a whole different world, a whole different pace

Gotta switch up the hustle find somethin new to chase

A beautiful mind is terrible to waste

Likе unappointed checks on yeah that shit will stay bеtter

Stay in your lane

Cuz if you learn anything from this time here, life ain't a game

There's always sunshine after the rain

I master my pain for a positive change

[Hook: DJ Ill Digitz]

You never catch me sleeping son

I'm tryna tell these cats

Don't nobody gon' stop that

Never planning on stop, I'm planning to rock

This, this how it be in this everlasting game

You never catch me sleeping son

I got dreams ain't nobody gon' stop that

Never planning on stop I'm planning to rock

This how it be in this everlasting game

[Verse 2: Masta Ace]

Prodigy said you all alone in these streets cousin

You got a family at home you need to keep lovin

Put your head down and keep plugging

But you're still ain't gon' ever get hot like a cheap oven

You're breaking down like a Sears appliance (Sears appliance)

I'm never caving I be bathing in the tears of giants

What you're witnessing is real defiance (real defiance)

And I don't really care what ya'll serve, I just healed the clients

Too many cooks in the kitchen can ruin a meal (ruin a meal)

First offer comes along and ya'll doin the deal

The worst negotiator is desperation (desperation)

I got the soul of Malcolm X when he left the Nation (left the Nation)

And this is called independence

Ya'll don't stand a chance like black man defendants

I throw the whole rhyme book at em

Shake my head and just look at em

For real

[Hook: DJ Ill Digitz]

You never catch me sleeping son
