[Verse 1: C-Ray]

Yeah

Not after fame, no diamonds and no platinum chains

No platinum plaque but trynna get my stats the same

Living life in this disaster, moving past the pain

Know my aim to get these racks, I gotta rack my brain

The world is weighing on me but my back don't break

You giving up, don't give a fuck bout what you have to say

Before you open up yo trap make sure your facts are straight

But a lot of y'all just puppets, do what masters say

I'm not a slave to these religions they exacerbate

I'm raised to make my own decisions, I don't practice hate, nigga

Don't pass the plate to me I'm looking past the fake

And praying for them kids you let yo catholic priests and pastors rape

Just stay focused, don't invest in what the masses think

I know my worth, and get it even if I have to scrape

I say it with my chest and learn from past mistakes

I'm just trynna be the best, you know what practice makes

Perfect

[Interlude]

Wisdom is power, and power is wisdom

One with each other, perfecting the whole

If one comes to thee full of knowledge, listen and heed, for wisdom is all

[Verse 2: C-Ray]

Raised in a world imprisoned by holy fables

Leadership flaky, foundation shaky like broken ankles

I meditate till I get the picture to know the angles

And stick to this independent shit over labels

Living thankful, my mental stable, don't overthink it

Communications with mystic angels through ancient teachings

The vision hazel, my written fataled the game beneath it

Don't get disabled, I will entangle like Jada Pinkett

Through the valley of the shadow of death

Behold the light, know every battle a test

There's just a handful that's left

They kept it righteous till the last of our breath

And you don't have to feel the lasting effects of a past you regret

It's about the gains that you get after the reps

To win the game, this pain you have to accept

Just don't be out of your depth

But sometimes everything we have is a mess

Stay on the path and take a stab at the best

You gotta have your respect

For certain

[Interlude]

Repeat thou not extravagant speech

Neither listen thou to it

For it is in utterance of one not in equilibrium

Speak thou not of it

For he that be before thee may know wisdom

[Verse 3: C-Ray]

Y'all out here treating phony shit like holy rip

Felonious

No more Jedi trick it's only Sith

And all I see is bogies with they so be witched

And if I drop y'all off a cliff y'all niggas won't be missed

I acquire all I can, this life don't owe me shit

And I promise my people, problems gon be fixed

And no matter your section we could coexist

But those whom I've respected it's a lonely list

Stay working, turn my energy to equity

You ever cross the line the treachery a penalty

That's for certain, make amends or meet my weaponry

Then it's curtains

Burn my enemies like effigy

Don't ever put my serenity in jeopardy

In pursuit of my respect, receive relentlessly

But now I know why my tendency bring jealousy

Cause you can't stop a God

There is no remedy for entity

They hurting

[Interlude]

Silence is with great profit

An abundance of speech profited nothing

Exalt not thine heart above the children of men

Less it be brought lower than the dust
