[Verse 1: The Third]

Killa kam told me “you got it”

Said “I believe in you”

“I know you can't see it, they having trouble receivin' you"

I told him "it's cool they gon' catch me real soon"

Only if they knew my life

Only if they knew who I wrote for

Only if they knew who I spoke for

Only if they knew who I get hoodies and coats for

Flyin' for the people who won’t soar

Don’t let me go off on this tangent

This is inspirational past ill

Tryna go against my grain

Gon need an Advil

Matter fact grab two

For you and whoever hears my songs when they pass you

I just write with God and I’m right with God

Shout out to my pops

He see me and he knows my eyes

Taught me to be real, that’s why I rap with no disguise

When I write I know the skies

Started as a youngin'

His stamp of approval taught me everything I know to rise

I can’t make a song for the ones who just wanna party

I can’t make a song for the people who don’t want change

Cuz they just idolize the feins with idol eyes so

Imma make some music that change the way that you look at things

Journalist of his time, yeah I be thinkin' often

Studied in the office of Baldwin and Stephen Hawking

After I was through with my theories I hit the lab

Add 2 told me “you snappin' are you a poet?”

Not only a poet

Chicago and God’s chosen

Know I wanna rap but thinkin' can we get it crackin'

Don said Trump in office anything can happen

So I grab the pen and had my ancestors footworkin'

Even if you not sure stand there and look certain

People in your corner gon gas you until you make it

And then when you make they gon gas you till you famous

Everyone who with me I remember what your name is

Can’t forget the people who had you when you was there

Can’t forget none my brothers who covered bus fare

Can’t forget my brother who lost his life at an early stage

That white glove stay on my desk I see it everyday

So imma rap for you

This the road that I stayed on

Hope you listenin'

I dropped the link at the grave stone

This is for my idols

And my mentors

And my Lil folks

This is to police who like to ride and around and kill folks

This my form activism

If you can’t find the proof

I ain’t got a choice

But make this noise I’m standing by the truth

This ain’t just a past time for me

This is right now

My music last longer than my money

This a lifestyle

My music last longer than my money this a lifestyle
