[Verse]

I'm playin' for keeps I tell 'em these stories (Yeah)

If niggas clutching, I always avoid it

Lifting as we rise for sons and our daughters

Quality control my vision high on Adobe

See it closely and start to pick out the phony

Take no advice from people who barely know me

Stubborn nature, I got it from way below

In control like I'm hogging a new remote

Hands on like I'm leaving my finger prints here

Better recognize everything Tyler did here

Better communicate with me, no broken tellies

I mean, you know how information can turn into somethings that's petty

You tryna discredit somebody for self upliftment

Reasons why I don't trust nobody from a distance

Protecting everything I'm made of

Moments before I take off, people I need to break off

Activated my cerebral

Discovered I'm lethal, still I never use for evil, yeah

Different purpose I got going on

Glody told me not to race when it's a marathon, yeah

Trick is not to break a sweat

Feed the spirit not the flesh when I feel the pressure, yeah

Go through moments of uncertainty

But that's when shit will start to click and I execute it all perfectly

Thinking back on when I couldn't get that bursary

Or further back when my father was none existent when I was going through nursery

I'm not sure if he's dead or alive, it's hurtin' me

Twenty years and I'm still affected internally

Another absentee but you want permanent leave

A generation of single parents I noticed

With single mothers who raising their sons hopin'

We do not repeat the same mistakes over

This type of life where burdens are passed over

Find me closure as soon as my doors open

Fix whatever was broken, I'm offloadin'

Deep rooted problems with flowers and leaves, yeah

Spend all of my time in this garden, I water this family tree

Might be the reason I go from hundred to zero
