[Verse 1]
I've been hard at work since out the tender age fourteen
Fourteen silver hairs a dome my head to tell my story
Survival is in my veins, bloodline of Virginia slaves
Inherited callouses, etching crevasses of my hands
Due for some reparations boy
No acres, no mules
I want freedom of speech to voice my sorrows and my blues
I'm not trying to prove how difficult my review is
I just wanna see how you moonwalk inside my shoes there
I can't be an artist if the fans that take my content
I cannot be flawed if I am goddess, human conflict
So I'm between a rock and the hardest place I've encountered
And honestly I'm a coward cause I'm afraid of this comfort
This rap career is all I dream. [?]
All my rent is due each month and all my cents go all my lean
I want to say everything and use all my effort to prove all of my hecklers wrong with one record

[Hook]
The only thing holding me back is fear cause I let it
The only thing holding me back is fear cause I let it

[Verse 2]
I'm gon' make my family proud
I'm gon' buy my family house
I'm too late to change the past, but I'm gon' take the damage out
All respect and praises due, I was raised four wars, one roof
Mom and Daddy still together that's what dedication due
Seeing god inside a man, that's what meditation due
Reason I can make my pen emote with each stroke is cause the [?] that's what education do
And I am living proof Garvey didn't die in vain
Cause if you cut me I will bleed Red, Black, and Green
And these raps have lain real issues that I have seen
But stifle voices on the loud, let the history breathe
I am probably too attached to lead impartially
But, pardon me, needs emotion to impart my grief
Hold a lil longer and its finna blow apocalypse
Who gon speak for us tonight? I be in the streets
Harlem proper, on the corner of 125th
