I never planned to live a century
Cuz every human dies eventually
I just want you to remember me and carry on
Doing your part to make this world a better place for us
Job cuts cut families like paper cuts
Times is hard to catch the bus, why won’t they wait for us?
Angels ain't here and anger turns to atheist
As a kid I hade a different take on angel dust
I thought those angels would be saving us but so it goes
Nothing sicker than an angel dusted bloody nose
I used to think that I was dirty wearing muddy clothes
But realised it ain't as dirty as these fucking hoes
Male and female both get exposed
The way that most humans choose to live is pretty gross
More people on the streets the more the cities grow
Were evolving but were lesser individuals
We treat our animals the same as all the criminals
I mean we treat our criminals like they were animals
That type of punishment seems rather damaging
It doesn’t work for us but we just say were managing
In the business side everything is vanity
Supporting one to harm another ain't humanity
I think that selfishness the cause of most insanity
I hope one day im man enough to raise my family
Instead of acting like Lil Wayne and Kanye
I think youre good but you’re leading people the wrong way
“It ain't all about yourself” is what my moms would say
Its about making a difference on the long way
Honestly my favourite MC is André
I used to listen to Aquemini like all day
Think about the words and everything it taught to me
Buying a classic album used to mean a lot to me
But now I download a lot of mediocrity
I plan to stand like a modern day Socrates
At the Grammys being thanked for my Philosophies
I appreciate how MCs would talk to me
Trough their music
Well, I guess that’s how I thought, you see
Their ain't a pyramid with one men at the top to me
Cause no-one can really run this world properly
Play your position like we on the same soccer team
And always place Hip-Hop above hypocrisy

So im calling up Jay like “what you got for me?”
Cause know I ain't a cop, but I can rock a beat
On my headphones for miles now on memory lane
See me smile cause y’all remember the name
From a child to a man from the ambers to flames
You get my life in your hand boy your picking my brain
A flash of the past at memorial stadium
Breaking away from the norm
That was [?] my cranium
Forgot those platinum chains and how you been obtaining them
Im tryna earn plaques made off palladium
Until the day that im just a part of the dirt
I'mma sing it to heavens, leaving my mark on this earth
And im out

And after everything fades into dust
I kept my faith in the people I trust
Tell 'em remember this
I hope you never forgot
About the steps to the top
And all the blessings you got
Always remember this
Without money were still hella rich
If they market our intelligence
Tell the kids remember this
All I needed was a blunt and a mic
Now ask my family what I’ve done with my life
Always remember this
