Alternate Breed

[Intro]
Yeah
I wonder why I ain't take the easy way out 'cause, it was all mapped out for me before I was even born
People hitting me for inside on they lives kept me from making obtuse choices
They ask me "what pushed you to be a alternate breed?"
I tell 'em just because I fit the description, doesn't mean the description fits me
Yeah, look

[Verse 1]
I wonder why I ain't take the easy way out
Pressure to the cool, I could've went the street route down the street from it
My first job I pocketed daily 300 illegally, and a paycheck weekly
Green paper, made it human nature, to need more of it off of bad behavior
Freedom endangered, still go through mom jackets for dollars inside receipts
Only thing about needing more of it, needing it makes you weak
You bought clothes for the fellas that notice your wardrobe to get jumped at a road
Heart rate replicated out for [?] morse code
Could be going towards the light when you walking towards home
The records award show demon
Impossible to pressure on eternal bleeding
You could put a price on product but not a price on freedom
Same bricks, same concrete, different people in the hospital
Same ventilator we breathe through
[?] to advice
Being accepted by nobody that's doing nothing with they life does nothing for your life
That gangster shit ain't cool no more, the tough guy ain't popular in school no more
After graduating they was deleting in each way
I was friends with people 'cause I seen them every weekday, right
I made a choice and peer pressure couldn't hold me
I just wanna be the proof, the street path ain't the only for us

[Chorus]
I wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I'm still [?]
Thankful for the choices that I made
I wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I'm still [?]
Thankful for the choices that I made

[Verse 2]
It's obvious why I took the difficult way, the non-statistical way
'Cause, people look at me as the hope to get out this place
I was blessed more when I took more minutes to pray throughout the day
Haven't become a father 'cause I got a little brother and sis to raised
No killing people 'cause I got more lives to save, not take
I make peace with my broken pieces
Loving parts of myself people don't solely agree with
Wish my grandma could see this, I know you could still look
Kids putting my raps as they quote in the yearbook
And a brother tellin' me that I helped him escape cancer
Because I DMed him back and he thought I wouldn't answer
Sent him a paragraph to push hard and pray through
And months go by, he say "I'm free 'cause of you"
Wait, look
Had to let that line breathe since God gave me the keys
I believe, I truly am a alternate breed
Never waited for circumstances, to change my scene
That's like waiting for God to bless you with no work in between, uh
No waiting for consent, know that's your inner being, uh
In paths that I've chose made, paths for my bros
Made a, ass out my foes being [?]
I hate shortcuts, the journey shouldn't be rushed
I wanna mentally be there before my body show up, yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I'm still [?]
Thankful for the choices that I made
I wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I'm still [?]
Thankful for the choices that I made
