(Verse 1)

Lord give me the strength to keep my senses in check

May the pen on the paper write me words that reflect

My capabilities fill the beat with the realest me

Let the people around me see the sides that only you can see

My simple hobbies the arguments that have got me

Places i've only hoped for the things that my father taught me

I've got, various mentors people that I have bled for

Endured the pain of losing the only thing that i've felt for

I set forth and keep Marching upon your path

Embarking upon your journey embracing your hour glass

And time it sinks faster than the Jamo in my cup

But like the label I stay afloat just sailing on the top

I stop drop and roll while I smoke out my soul

Unfold my hidden chapters the words i've untold

I know, I let you down I guess the pressure got me

Also Got my brother thinking i've become illuminati

Ali Abdulhadi the new Da vinci wallahi

Kayhadi Mohammad Ali, fuck with us we catch a body

I be, like a tsunami it's obvious I be cocky

I'm probably the only prodigy of hip hop

Do ya'll agree?

Echo echo, I can't seem to let go

Rebel mentality while I pedal to the metal

Settle I think not, you only get one shot

I just hope that you forgive me and thank you for staying watch

God



(Chorus)

Up up up and then very low

We hear the same old songs on the radio

Cuz when you feel like there's no place called home

You look up to the sky and you let him know

We feel up up up and then very low

"We deserve this paper"

We hear the same old songs on the radio

"We deserve this paper"

Cuz when you feel like there's no place called home

"We deserve this paper"

You look up to the sky and you let him know

"That we deserve this paper"



(Verse 2)

Lord make me the voice, give me a reason to speak

I want the freedom of choice I want the freedom of speech

Give me the confidence let me deal with consequence

I'll invest all my time in this until my form does not exist

I'll admit, i'm nervous it's really working

I'm manifesting my visions with my bro's behind the curtains

On purpose we've left the surface, gradually elevating

Patient I take my time with everything that i've created

From pacing around my basement to neighbors with names of greatness

Basically what i'm saying is, one day i'll be the greatest

And those who I have followed i'll overshadow and swallow

Make up my own motto, be my own role model

When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I'll pound on my chest

And recite every word that i've said

Word, the only time they're impressed is when you're dead

Lord, I'm sorry for this i'm just tryna connect

God, give me the crown may I never leave the throne

A traveler on my way to a place called home

I'm gone, i'm in my zone and still I feel the pressure

Oppression upon my people my people they be so precious

So I, object this one minded evil we are set with

Tempted to become the person who personally comes and ends it

Yup, I'll Build an army not just within my friend list

They'll Spread my message cuz I ain't someone they can mess with



(Chorus)

Up up up and then very low

We hear the same old songs on the radio

Cuz when you feel like there's no place called home

You look up to the sky and you let him know

We feel up up up and then very low

"We deserve this paper"

We hear the same old songs on the radio

"We deserve this paper"

Cuz when you feel like there is no place called home

"We deserve this paper"

You look up to the sky and you let him know

"That we deserve this paper"
