[Intro: The Winans - "Trust In God"]

[Pre-Hook]

Iffin I lift Him high

Will they believe/receive?

Perceive what few will achieve

Like sheesh

[Hook]

Half of the time

Half of my mind is in space

Other half can not face

Have nots can relate

I been stumblin' through these days

Can't keep bummin', I need change

Can you spare yo two cents?

Give your thoughts for a pence?

[Verse 1]

I will not sit on the fence

Won't fold when they take my chips

Raising the stakes then makin' em flip

This H20 is forever so I don't need yo drip

Better than ever but not ahead of my best

Not impressed by the fake S's on they chest

Didn't come to collect

But I'm comin' correct

Cause collisions

My vision's 11 plus Tech (N9ne)

Two of a kind

This life of mine is truly sublime

Not new to the times

Got used to the climate

Climbing inclines like it's nothing

I've been vibin' by my lonesome

Gotta take time to make time

Heard it through the grapevine

Moves on the low Akon

Feeling like Faizon

If they don't give it, I'ma take mine

Yeah, I do not need it to be my year

Sick of what they feed into my ear

Gotta filter fictitious statements

They can not kill what we makin'

I've been instilled with this greatness

Want you to feel what I'm sayin'

Some would kill for a placement

But kill me if I'm faking

I won't pander for approval

That's not true to who I represent

Much higher than a president

The precedent in present tense is pressing

It's a lesson that we never do invest in

Too many yes men

Not enough people second guessing

Too many questions, not enough answers

I can only do so much with these stanzas

We can only do so much with these standards

Stand for something instead of just standing

Man it's, exhausting (to watch)

And I've been dealing with losses (a lot)

Still sail through the turning and tossing (knots)

Ten-Tails, overwhelming offense

But I'm all in

I can't show my hand

You never know who plays to win

Feelin' like Kusakabe

I know that you see my blaze within

Bathed in sin, had to make amends

Can't complain about the place

I'm in if I don't strive to thrive

So let's not play pretend

[Verse 2]

I can not ignore the pain of my people

I sneak a peek and see evil

Amongst the kindest of souls

Spirit glistening gold

We don't listen when told

Stickin' to what we know

But that is no way to grow

Gotta repay what I owe

I have the aim of my mother

Plus the name of my father

In this color I'm smothered

I'm the same as my author

I'm not sure what they taught ya

But this curriculum's different

Pendulum twisting

It's just me versus myself and I'm winning

I can not call it quits

Back me up if I miss

I don't want do this alone

My home is my comfort zone

So I must venture out the nest

Take baby steps and learn to live a life

Worth living, might not live it right

Every second but worth a shot
