All Day (Remix)
Eh, lawd
All day n***a
Hehehehe, hehehe ha
Heh
Fuck it, I'ma finna go in
Lawd
[Verse 1]
Look
I have never been concerned
With any amount of money another man earned
The spending habits of bastards that wanna live lavish
The fast cash and the bright light look attractive
And you would sell your soul to try to get a source of access
It's your self esteem, never really mattered, it's the assets
You feel it's unimportant if you can't go in a bank account
I bet you put yourself in a position that you won't get out
You feelin' stuck
I'm sure it sucks to be you
But never wanna make a record for a demographic
Or a trend that's gonna end it about a month or two
But what I'm finna do is somethin' different
I set myself apart with honesty and now they listenin'
Forgive me if I got an attitude
I think it's obvious these other n***as full of shit
Can you really relate to
What they emulatin'
Everything they see up on the internet
I'm saying that it's pitiful
But never passing judgement
I think we need a serious topic for a discussion
Comin' from a place of positivity
I said that I'm the sickest sinner breathin'
Unequivocally
I'm dealin' with the agony and misery
Of stayin' in the same spot
Feelin' like I'm not progressin'
Man I been runnin' in place though
What the fuck you know about bein' stagnant?
Every day I work but nothin' ever seems to happen
Givin' in to distractions, fell in love with the habit
I can't deal with the hassle
Of trying to keep everything together
When I feel I'm at the limit
My opinion I'ma keep it
Swimmin' in the deepest
Someone call a deacon
I could see the sign
From the beginning but I cannot make an adjustment
I'm just tryna find a better way that I could function
With the melody momentum of the move, it's subduing
Your negativity but simply the simile
Extending to a sight to see
The saddest song you'll ever sing
As you could sense I'm losin' everything
I need to take a seat
Now gimme one minute, lemme catch my breath
I am overly dedicated, you might say I'm obsessed
But no matter how you feel, I bet you one day I'll be the best
You can't attest or testify
I rectify the proper etiquette
To eat the beat alive and that was light work, it was delicate
I used it like a continental breakfast with the condiments
So keep a compliment I got the common sense that you were never blessed with
Lawd
Eh
This shit ain't over
I'm just gonna keep goin' into it
Lawd, eh
Heh
[Verse 2]
Why am I fighting complacency I cannot see what is wrong
When I'm speaking on several subjects in a song
And I swear that it varies, like seconds or minutes
There's one for atonement and one for forgiveness
The page Kunta Kinte the way my pen whip it
Invading your brain and I brought Anglo-Saxons
Assassins attacking the second your side if I die
Fuck it, I'll be playing Makaveli til the death of me
The only man that I would ever idolize, the chronological order
I wanna try to put the fucking rhyme in
Only if the time is perfect, not collided with the verse
Diversify with the kaleidoscope, I'm trying to go to Monaco
To monetize and use it, maybe make a couple classics
You illiterate bastards basking in the basic
You were going through phases
Boy am I amazing, I could've took the lyrics
Turn them into something similar that we become accustomed to
I'm guessing you a cuckold
I accompany the cadence with a blessing made up for
Descendants is impressive when you never have to tell a lie
I put my hand up on the bible you can see me testify
I feel I'm really fallen off I pray to god it ain't my time
And I was given some potential but I never got my mind straight
I hit the holy water from the faucet or the hydrant
You'll find me in the savor spot, I needed time to hibernate
To concentrate, to contemplate
The complicated code a n***a speaking in
I'm turning on my TV viewing CNN
I'm seeing it's the same shit; a whole lot of unrest
Where is your compassion?
I don't feel the empathy and nobody is listening
I'm wasting all my energy
But fuck it I'ma bring it back and this time I'll be average
Real shit, just gonna dumb it down
Eh
[Verse 3]
What you want a simple rhyme scheme n***a
Double cup and never bluffing with some codeine n***a
Pop a molly we should party with some morphine n***a
We can do it everyday and turn into dope fiend n***as
Now your tolerance is up you want the whole thing n***a
Man you never did that shit when you was younger
It was everybody around you, influencing in the way that you looking at it
Staring in the mirror, just the image of an addict
Your mind been ravaged by narcotics you been taking
You reminisce but everyday you're feeling like a vacant
Mistaking evil people you could trust
I could tell you right now homie they don't give a fuck and
Nothing's ever enough and no you'll never be satisfied
You always want more, that's a fact that will forever remain
There is no amount of drugs that will ever mask pain
Man you gotta keep it moving, try to leave it in the past tense
Lawd
Eh, eh, eh
Lawd
Real shit
Ha, knowledge, n***a
Eh, lawd
Eh, hmph
[Verse 4]
You won't find me at the mall
Oh no I'm not trying to ball
All that I want is something I can call my own
Yes I've adjusted the tone, leave me alone
Promise that I'll never change
I'll stay the same til I'm no longer breathing
Believe in the words that I speak are the truth
You expected turn water to wine for a skeptic
Lawd, eh
[Outro]
"In my head, in my head"
That's how that shit went?
I wish we could find, I wish we could that version
It wasn't-, naw I didn't say what he said, but it was close enough
I don't even understand what a n***a said on the real record
[Unintelligible mumbling]
No-, nobody in rap says shit anymore, like
They just mumble, including myself
