The Alchemist
Prophecy
[Verse 1]
As heavy as Heaven, I'm working like 7-Eleven
And my thoughts getting hectic, in need of a blunt and Excedrin
N***as gon' hate, but it's only nature, so fuck it, I let 'em
Shit, I'm just focused on the goal 'cause I know where I'm headed
If I can help it, I'ma die a legend
Live a wild life, die hard, and let my children tell it
Shit, I'm closer to my dreams, bruh, I can even smell it
So close sometimes I even notice that my friends are jealous
Whoever knew it'd be this hard, breakin' in on this rap shit
Left college to try to feed mama so I can't quit
In the midst of these n***as just flaking like they dandruff
I'm a real n***a, bred to get it, check my stance, bitch
Pinky ring blingin', I got the juice now
Ball in my court so sport's playing the truth now
Let a n***a loose, now you fools sayin' he too wild
I'm the new child who turnin' booths into Nuketown
This is prophecy, n***a

[Verse 2]
You determine what your future holds
So get up off that bullshit you n***as on, make a hustle, get this dough
I knew ten years ago this n***a's flow was meant to blow
Now I'm in my zone and you n***as slow, I'm shifting go
I'm never lookin' back, in fact, I'm driftin' on a different road
Still stickin' to the script, you n***as'll never get my soul
I don't make records for radio play, n***a, no
But still the inspiration for n***as who ever lived it, bro
You can make it, n***a, just get your mind right
Get your grind tight and attack whenever the time's right
Even non-patients still blinded by the limelight
Waitin' for the moments I been hoping like my whole life
I'm ridin', n***a, 'til the world ends
With a gang of kush and my favorite girlfriend
Days are seeming like I'm caught up in a whirlwind
I'm puttin' work in and I ain't even catch my first win
