[Intro]

Everything remains

Everything remains, everything remains, everything remains

Ayy, ayy

[Verse 1]

Laugh now, cry never

Never mind, nice guys finish fine

I guess, forever fly

Used to be fresh but now I'm wise

Guys try to imply

Like I should optimize on lies and cries

I find it harder now to author nouns and sounds

It's like couldn't believe I was really 'bout to father a child

When all of this foul

World girls are brought up in now

All the options cloggin' and crowdin' little noggins

With products instead of knowledge

Unbalanced and it bothers nobody 'cause she fine as hell

So she whines and dines and tells

More lies, tryna find herself

I fell on my knees today to find myself

And it helps when It ain't no one around to tell the truth to

When I'm not half the god I use to be

Useful, who be?

Used to say you the truth too

Now I'm just truthful

Truthfully, it hurts

Usually worse, used to be worse

Running from comfort 'cause I wouldn't conform or convert

Now I just converse 'bout how much love hurts

And how good God is and how much I want more for my kids

'Cause life is not fair, but it does not stop there

Do what you got 'til you drop, but don't trip, my dear

'Cause God's here

Right here

[Interlude]

Yeah, here, yeah, here, uh, right here, uh, right here

Yeah

Yeah, ayy

[Verse 2]

Whatever you be on is you, nigga

Remember, whatever I be on, the good God got me on

I trod alone through the winter, jottin' home in poems

Tryna remember the warmth when the storms pass

Blue skies, sunshine my mind's forecast

It's not like I was born last week

Complete my format, my perspective gets deep

My lessons have been collectin' like blessings

The exchange rate is beautiful too

Proving that truth can override anything but love, so God bless you

A timeless life of stressless fights with lust

I try to put my life love up above you, but

God, mom, music, movies

Movin' the world with a duty to truly be something worthy of

Lavish-ass pads with cars and all types of devices

Must be nice if happiness is priceless

Right? Price my life

And y'all can have the Range, bright lights, and fame

For some change, give an exchange if your souls intact

And it's hard to beat that with a bat, most cats

Get with this, it's '08, jack

I stick with that boom-bap mind state

'96 mind flip, get money, other than that, we praise God

Sometimes, I play y'all

Never did play cards

Or video games

I was eight, tryna navigate principle aim

Multiplyin' my visual game

By my spiritual gain

Divided truth by pain

Still steerin' the plane

Like the pilots do it

Sun shinin' and the sky is blue

So high, wave, "Hi," we just ridin' through

No titles, no idols, no pride

No time to prove to you why we fly, we just do us

And we trust that you do you

That's how we was brought up to do
