[Verse 1: 350]
Yeah, I used to cop a lot, but never copped no drop
Pushin' through the lights like no cop, no stop
Fame was never the goal, but couldn't stop no flop
Many straight-up fold, but I couldn't block no plot
Is you f-f-feeling me? Mykael put the icing on soliloquy
Benny choppin' soul 'til we feelin' heat
Blessed be the metaphors, bars, and the similes
How we spit the truth so— is you hearin' me?
Mykey on a mission to assimilate
Said I wouldn't bloom, but I knew the blessin' never be a minute late
Only way I trust if I'm pushin' while I'm feelin' weight
Mind paralyzed, but my feet keep the rhythm plain
Ooh, ninеty-ninety, flow a honey bun like a nеw Maserati
Steppin' in the A, but I'm true to the valley
Giving high praise is like summa cum laude, could we do it proudly?
Don't entertain pride, have you lookin' real cocky
Exalting on yourself is the quickest way to phony
Many examples, lookin' around and see
But the only way to look is if you lookin' at thee
This is more than entertainment, tryna keep it layman
For the Most High but my brothers never wanin'
From the same name and push the same lane
And narrow is the road, but my path never fadin', ho
[Interlude]
We gotta go right now
If we don't split right now, we're gonna miss the train
Come on, meet you downstairs
Is everything well?
Just come on, no talking now
Are we in danger?
Somewhere along the way
[Verse 2: Thomas Austin]
Found myself without purpose along the way
I ran into this guy who had recognized my face
He was sayin' he knew my songs and they tunes to motivate
That's when I knew there's power behind the words that I say
He asked me how I keep my faith strong and hold opinions
And how I manage fightin' demons tryna hold dominion
It's not a perfect world, sometimes I still struggle with it
Same thing I'd do if I heard disses with my name in it
Take flight, I'm tryna live to do so much better
I might just pray for 'em, speak more life
You like this new temper, I'm a chill guy
We don't know no opps, it's my brothers in Christ
I made a promise to only use my gift to inspire
And since 1998, I had everything that's required
It's the devil doubt that make me feel that I ain't had enough
Fast forward twenty-six and we could see that that's a lie, it was a lie
I put it on my mom and 'em, put it on my cousins and my aunties right now
Somewhere 'long the way, got no car, you get the phone
Somewhere 'long the way, your friends gon' tell you that you're wrong
Somewhere 'long the way, you gon' get mad with resistance
Have a great idea, but they gon' tell you that you're trippin'
Now you're second guessin', keepin' faith in that vision
Somewhere along the way, you'll benefit from that decision
