V1 - Came to an understanding/
I have one life to live/
And only so much to give/
So I have to set and example/
Not just for myself/
But my fam, peers and my kid/
Stressing trying to be/
Just trying to be the best man like
Taye Diggs/
Was once the man on the ledge/
Until I took a pledge/
In search of the right wig so I can get/
Ahead (yeah)/
Close to the edge, tug of war
With myself, I hope I’m not pulling my
Own leg/
You’ll swear I was a Rasta/
Got Head full of dreads/
Memories of the nest/
Now your boy Is full fledged/
Sewed all of my seams/
No needle, no thread/
Comfortable in my own skin/
From all the all the tears that I’ve
Shed/
Thanks to all the tools in my small
Garage/
Wishing for a happy ending After my
Massage/
This shit is no facade/
One of the beastie boys, the game I
Have to sabotage/
Transparent to all the bullshit/
And I’m camouflage/
3rd eye 👁 open/
You say you got that gas but I’m the
Best thing smoking/
Guaranteed you coughing and
Choking/
Height and hart like Kevin but don’t
But don’t got time for the joking/
Instigating my life goals, this is
Thought provoking/
Poetry in motion/
About to induce the fruits of my labor/
With this pitocin/
See you got to have devotion/
Don’t need my drivers license to
Afford focus (Ford Focus)/
Glad I didn’t have to move them keys/
To get them doors open/ (for real)
But I know a couple/
Who adapt to the struggle/
They do what what they gotta do/
See I can’t knock their hustle/
Boy I’m tired of living life in this
Bubble/
Feel like Jake Gyllenhaal, but I’m glad
I made it out of the rubble/
Got my chance to evolve/
Came the real/
This is no illusion David Copperfield/
Playing my cards right so tell me
What’s the deal/
I’d never kneel, Colin Kaepernick/
Put my heart and soul in this shit/
So ain’t no half assing it/
In my city it’s safety first/
Can’t believe what they’re
Fastened with/
Story of my life, and I’m
The protagonist/
From a city full of angels 👼/
Playing devils advocate/
Imagining/
My life not being to far from
Extravagant/
I know/
