[Intro}

I do it for you

I do it for you

Yeah


[Verse 1]

Put your ears to the speakers, hear my heartbeat

Hopefully you hear my art speak

To the essence of your soul

Feel my presence in your bones

Resurrect you from the tomb

So don’t box me

In with these other rappers

Though you know I ain’t got beef with these other rappers

But I mean, how you claiming king if your aim is fame

But you ain’t giving brain healing when you sing

I’m sick of these other rappers

So call this medicine rap

Get em free from oppression when they hearing me rap

You spit higher to inspire, they try to say you wack

I made a choice to do this, still people beg me to rap

I mean

Me

I still do it for the fun though

And I love to tell these people what they don’t know

’Cause liberation of the masses is my passion and rapping is another tool I’m tapping to make it happen


[Hook]

I do this for the listeners

Home players and the visitors

I do this for the broken and the limited

I do this for the prisoners

Those locked behind bars

I do it to find stars

And show them who they are

For the listeners

Home players and the visitors

I do this for the broken and the limited

I do this for the prisoners

Those locked behind bars

I do it to find stars

Truth is

I do it for you


[Verse 2]

I do this to inspire retired fighters to light it up

Hot wired to drop fire, I’m high enough

To fire up a fire truck

Ride it off into the darkness

With my partners

Never park this

Don’t write it off, the kite is up

The light of love inspires us to fly above

The

Regular kinda stuff

We are kind of a paradox

Keep it moving like the movies

I’m cruising

Imma do this till I lose it

And I’m either hot or out of luck

Kinda tough but I’ll stick to the script

And flip it when I need to flip it just to dismiss the myth

That a person has to fit a certain description to be something you need

Just isn’t legit

I’m still a misfit

I do this for the people like me

Ready to open eyes wide ’cause they ain’t scared to see

The truth for themselves, they ain’t scared to be

True to themselves

They family to me


[Hook]

I do this for the listeners

Home players and the visitors

I do this for the broken and the limited

I do this for the prisoners

Those locked behind bars

I do it to find stars

And show them who they are

For the listeners

Home players and the visitors

I do this for the broken and the limited

I do this for the prisoners

Those locked behind bars

I do it to find stars

Truth is

I do it for you
