The Prologue

[Intro: Ahji]
Out of the dark I see my sun
No longer hiding I won't run
I know who I’m supposed to be
And who I want the world to see
And I've learned a lot of things
Been on this road a long time

[Verse: Da' T.R.U.T.H.]
Truth, where you been at
I been minding my business
Focused on the family recalibrating my interest
Concerts are ok but I'm working to make a difference
Back, on the ground with the people pay close attention
Been gone working through fact and fiction
Focused I pulled away just to sharpen up my convictions
Yea
Scratch the Grammys and Stellars off of my wish list
Can honestly take it back cause I’m back I'm back in the trenches
I got nominated for an award this year, yea
But I ain't even go man cause I ain't care, yea
Another golden globe man I'm just not there
And I look at the albums sold and it's just not fair, nah
I got enough already besides what it all mean
Right now it's just a distraction accumulation of things
More often I'm disenchanted never deflating my dreams
And I feel at a disadvantage having more than I need, yea
I would be bordering greed
Loitering more extremes
Focused on fame and multiple streams
Feeling disillusioned
Look at the interest I’m losing
Still got love for the ministry
Hate what the system is doing
Still got love for the craft and got a gift for the music
But before I hang up my cape sometime out in the future
I’m a restore order pray the feeling is mutual
Right now it so much different than when we first introduced it, yea
See I ain't been quiet cause I’m retired
No
Observing the times mining a pot of gold
Rehearsing my lines for the breakfast club
Gearing up for sway in the morning to talk about how it goes, yea
Had dreams but never of being famous
Simply entertainment, many of us craved it
Forgive me been tainted
Penny spent way too many days trying to save it
But I'm over trying to maintain, yup
I ain't knocking nobody's hustle
I just want to go back to a time when it wasn’t about the numbers
I ain't knocking nobody's hustle
I just want to go back to a time when it wasn't about the numbers

[Outro: Ahji]
Out of the dark I see my sun
No longer hiding I won't run
I know who I'm supposed to be
And who I want the world to see
And I've learned a lot of things
Been on this road a long time
