Masta Ace
Everlasting Game
[Verse 1: Awon]
Even in my untimely absence
My fam will be good cuz I've been really good at rappin
The weight of tomorrow weigh heavily
The rap gods told me add truth to the melody
I've been strugglin to cope with the day to day
Full of hope but can we really pray the pain away?
It's been a long hot summer that's word to Ace
Maintaining my grace trying not to catch a case
It's a whole different world, a whole different pace
Gotta switch up the hustle find somethin new to chase
A beautiful mind is terrible to waste
Likе unappointed checks on yeah that shit will stay bеtter
Stay in your lane
Cuz if you learn anything from this time here, life ain't a game
There's always sunshine after the rain
I master my pain for a positive change
[Hook: DJ Ill Digitz]
You never catch me sleeping son
I'm tryna tell these cats
Don't nobody gon' stop that
Never planning on stop, I'm planning to rock
This, this how it be in this everlasting game
You never catch me sleeping son
I got dreams ain't nobody gon' stop that
Never planning on stop I'm planning to rock
This how it be in this everlasting game
[Verse 2: Masta Ace]
Prodigy said you all alone in these streets cousin
You got a family at home you need to keep lovin
Put your head down and keep plugging
But you're still ain't gon' ever get hot like a cheap oven
You're breaking down like a Sears appliance (Sears appliance)
I'm never caving I be bathing in the tears of giants
What you're witnessing is real defiance (real defiance)
And I don't really care what ya'll serve, I just healed the clients
Too many cooks in the kitchen can ruin a meal (ruin a meal)
First offer comes along and ya'll doin the deal
The worst negotiator is desperation (desperation)
I got the soul of Malcolm X when he left the Nation (left the Nation)
And this is called independence
Ya'll don't stand a chance like black man defendants
I throw the whole rhyme book at em
Shake my head and just look at em
For real
