[Verse]
I'm playin' for keeps I tell 'em these stories (Yeah)
If n***as clutching, I always avoid it
Lifting as we rise for sons and our daughters
Quality control, my vision high on [?]
See it closely and start to pick out the phony
Take no advice from people who barely know me
Stubborn nature, I got it from way below
In control like I'm hogging a new remote
Hands on like I'm leaving my finger prints here
Better recognize everything Tyler did here
Better communicate with me, no broken tellies
I mean, you know how information can turn into somethings that's petty
You tryna discredit somebody for self upliftment
Reasons why I don't trust nobody from a distance
Protecting everything I'm made of
Moments before I take off, people I need to break off
Activated my cerebral
Discovered I'm lethal, still I never use for evil, yeah
Different purpose I got going on
[?] told me not to race when it's a marathon, yeah
Trick is not to break a sweat
Feed the spirit not the flesh when I feel the pressure, yeah
Go through moments of uncertainty
Blessmanship will start to click and I execute it all perfectly
Thinking back on when I couldn't get that bursary
Or further back when my father was none existent when I was going through nursery
I'm not sure if he's dead or alive, it's hurtin' me
Twenty years and I'm still affected internally
Another absentee but you want permanent leave
A generation of single parents I noticed
With single mothers who raising their sons hoping
We do not repeat the same mistakes over
This type of life where burdens are passed over
Find me closure as soon as my doors open
Fix whatever was broken, I'm offloadin'
Deep rooted problems with flowers and leaves, yeah
Spend all of my time in this garden, I water this family tree
Might be the reason I go from hundred to zero
