[Verse:]
I don’t want a faith that try to canonize Calvin
I don’t want no friend around that sanitize Malcom
I don’t want you ever think I’m safe when you talk to me
Imma be ok, just need some space and some coffee beans
Get up out my own head and process all this trauma
Tell Liz that I’ll be home early, just need to see my daughter
Just need to see my son smile, it’s cold in all these people faces
It’s hard to feel at home as a shepherd how the sheep can hate you
And now we see Nigerians change the world of fashion
The streets make these decisions, European is the past tense
Still it’s all relative, I’m fighting for my relatives
Across the color spectrum, it’s the cross that really kept us
I still believe in dreams, cuz these DJs keep on sleeping
My songs don’t make the mixes, but I mix it up with teachers
Exegesis if you pay attention, the commentary English
Read all these interpretations, till I'm left with Jesus
Gotta make it gotta make it- i ain’t here play with you
Put this on my winnings, taking bets I ain’t the same as you
Taelor knows his Tailor, there can never be a replica
I assemble real ones, better hope you with the rest of us
We made it
Never faded
All these faces painted
All that hate can stay there
That’s just how I take it, we only friends on the Gram
Like it’s realer than it is I won’t ever understand
No more questions, no more questions- let’s be honest this ain’t for you
No more extras, no more lectures
I can’t promise this is normal
I been all up in the desert with a treasure full of riches
You just shrug your shoulders see some breadsticks and some fishes
I seen miracles, they miracles—I shouldn’t be alive
Peace up to the sparrow, take the narrow way to die
No more questions, cut the interview, cuz I been acting immature
And that’s an Aha moment, I been fighting being cynical
This might be the last one
That might be my caption
Time to close the chapter
Bet I own my masters
Panther on my jacket and
T’Challa in my accent
Momma singing in the choir that was my Mahalia Jackson
Gotta make it, love keep on lifting me
Make it, Imma run till it finish me
Make it, not much time left for me
Imma give this life up to God then I let it be
Make it, love keep on lifting me
Make it, Imma run till it finish me
Make it, not much time left for me
Imma give this life up to God then I let it be
