Discern

My whole life's

Been more guesses and less knowing

Just a few more assets than debts owning

I've been dissed and dropped

Told to get going

I just did like alway and kept going

Like the word "always" I mean kept going

Stuck around and now I'm one of the best going

Can't call it a comeback just kept showing up

Never left, took left turns, and kept growing

Wrong side of the train tracks and stained glass

I reside

Can't hide from where the pain's at

Just staying in touch that's the main task

Then pass on last names and hope the names last

A phrase came back: Remember to Remember

Cuz we change fast

And never learn from them days past

How we used to get fly or why the plane crashed

When to turn, when to remain on the same path

Discern

I'v been on the bus more

Than on bus tours

But fans know the cuts

Are uncut pure

Dope— rapper/Master's class instructor

And much more

I tell em they're suss

Over sus chords

These cats lyin' just for the uproar

I'm less rushed

Ironically I'm on Rushmore

Absorbed lessons from the legends

In them sessions

Only gave them questions

Yet was gifted with their presence/presents

Now I discern how it's supposed to be

Even pre-pandemic

No one came close to me

Call him Kobe in overtime I overheat

Was destined to go overseas since in ovaries

Cuz I separate the facts from the fiction

Remove the cataracts from the vision

You have a decision

Will you decide with a wise mind

Or the hive mind with your eyes blind?

Wait
