Solid Ground - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I put it on my life that one day I would make mills

Shame I gotta spit it from a heart that is hate filled

But I'd rather see the struggle for itself than to take pills

I do it for Zeds, Arky, Oniss, KV and Jay Will

I'm my own man, I ain't nobodies shotty

But I'd got boys from the get go, I tell 'em go then they got me

I watched my daddy go pen, never got over it properly

'Cause I still dream of that cop and taking his soul from his body

And I dream of the day where you suffer like I did

Like a gun to your innocence when they pry open your eyelids

Die slow mother fucker, it'll be the reason that I live

I remember when I didn't get no goodbye's in

I know a boy that got 9 years for reclaiming a debt

But the Government got bailiff's if you miss payment on rent

If you don't give em a piece of your wage that you spent

Everyday saving to get, for them to claim their expense, so fuck em

[Chorus]

We're just tryna get our feet on solid ground

But it's hard when everything is upside down

We're just tryna get our feet on solid ground

But when I hit it you don't even hear a sound

I been up, I been down, on the block, been around

And I done this all my life

I been up, I been down, on the block, been around

And I done this all my life

[Verse 2]

If the good die young, I wanna live forever

I will sacrifice good nature, and give 'em weather

I will sacrifice myself, and give 'em terror

I am tryna be the greatest in my era, ever

And I don't give a shit about no bragging critics

And I am very well aware that I have my critics

But you're looking at the first rapper to have a critics

And I promise you this, it's either that or crickets

I'm about to open my studio doors full time

Anything I want in this life, you bet that it's all mine

I'm not fucking around, I'm doing this all time

But time is something I'm running low on like ooh I'm

Just an evil emcee, with a mean case of PTSD

Who as a teen failed all of his GSCE's

But I've been giving tools, so just leave it to me

To find the supplies and build a life to what I need it to be

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh oh

I done this all my life

[Verse 3]

I been consolidated by solid ground

When you been on the pavement and got around

When it becomes a conversation through polished sound

I just wanna say I made it, ooh God I'm proud (ooh god I'm proud, uh)

So allow me to spill my truth and just let it flow

I'd rather die trying than this be something I've never known

We design our own path, the blueprint for better roads

'Cause I have a concrete plan and it's been set in stone, so get to know
