*Develop Starts Playing*

With all that I say

With all that I’ve wrote

With all that I know

I need to develop

With all that I’ve said

With all that I’ve wrote

With all that I’ve known

I need to develop

Let's do this

Uh yo

I

Came out the womb and I'm pissing my mama off

Got out of school and I piss everybody off (Yo who is this Kid?)

Including teachers & students and other folks

Who’ve interacted with me (Ma'am Your Son is a Handful)

Or should I say I ticked off

But uh

My sister tells me I’m stupid and I should staaahhhhpppp!!!!!

I hear the opposite only that I should not

I pity my future friends

If they’d have met me now

Cuz if we link then I guarantee

I'm gonna make em pull they hair out

But

This ain’t about em

This is all bout me

Development's a state of mind

That's just what I might need

My niggas tell me I’m annoying

And I just might be

I tell em get a pic with Chance

Then come talk to me

I said I’m cool with Aminé

Like that nigga my cousin

I Got the beat like THOTIANA

Cuz my drums will get bussin

It isn’t easy being Habesha you know that I’m right

Especially when gossip travels in the speed of light

Wassup!!!!

With everything I know

With everything I do

I turn it to a song

Like when your momma loves the prime minister you

I need to Develop

*Development Starts Playing*

Oh

I need to Develop

Ladadada....

Let's do this

Verse 1

I say

Protect yo genius

Protect yo life

Protect yo peoples And

Protect yo mind

Protect it from dem people trynna kill

That flame within yo soul

So make sure that your will

Is safe

Locked & compressed

And hidden within yo heart

See I’m the type to go ahead and pick apart

Every single artists

That I see myself in

Those the building blocks

That Imma use

To ma Devlpment

From being Melodic like lauryn hill

Not rappin all of the time

But owning all of my raps

Like Nipsey all on his prime

But I’m being dope in a way

That’s different from other guys

Creative unlike no other

But similar as if I’m

Gambino

I made the beat tho

Student of the game

So I’m for my people

The chords to the song is an E then C oh

Then we end it all as I play the D note

My presence denotes

An era of some new emcees

Been hearin' a lot ppl

Talking about how hip hop seems

Overly saturated I

Overtly sat and waited

For an opportunity

For my

Overly dedicated self

I...

I’m not rapper I’m a singer who raps

Better than... 80% of all your favorite druggies who rap

So by the time that we done

U gon' see that we mean Biz

They call me Yodz

But most of all they call him Mr.Thibs

Protect your life Protect your life

Might take a couple tries

But we gone get it right

One day God placed an idea in my mind

He said that it would bloom but in its own time

I said

Excuse me sir: can we speed this up

I’m trying to flex — I mean raise some disciples up

He said boy, sit back...ease your mind

If you roll with me learn to enjoy the ride

But

I tried to rush it

Thinking that I would crush it

Ended up looking like a scrub without a budget

Reluctantly I moved slow

But then I learned to love it

And when something blocked my path

I just learned to rise above it

Good things take time let’s be honest

We still working on getting slavery abolished

It took 28 takes just for this verse to sound polished

It might sound a little funny

But I’m just being honest

I need to Develop

Rule number 1

You are not your form of art

Your form art can be (a/part) of you however

So don’t let another’s opinion of your Art form affect you

For it is not you

If they don’t know u personally

Don’t take it personally

The normal people can leave now I’m talking to creatives

Whatever u create document it

Celebrate each victory u have with every obstacle

Then u can see your progress

Remember: you gotta suck to be dope

I need to

Development X6

Oh!
