[Intro: Erykah Badu]
What is art..
You know..
Made for?
Why do we create?
So that we can create dialogue
You want people to say something
They don’t have to say something favorable
They don’t have to like it
They don’t have to dislike it
They can be..
Inspired by it
To do their own thing or protest or whatever it is
*Could you play it?*
*It’s my favorite song*
[Hook]
Because of you
I see things differently
Because of you
I see where we could be
[Verse 1: Young Prophet]
I lived life from both perspectives
Been battle tested
Realized this life we live is not for second guessing
Focus on them inner demons, get your mind progressing
What you sweatin for, the marathon ain’t ever endin
I been broke, fucked up and down bad
Then had the last laugh when them checks came in, I bounced back
I crunched the numbers, did the brass tax
And then I blew it wit my niggas, simple facts, we on the last lap
I’m out in Cali, where the gas at?
I roll a 5 wit’ 2.9
Then crush the champ’ until I land back
These opportunities like flashbacks
Cuz I remember every time that I was young like “I’m gon’ have that”
And now it’s up, so where the bag at?
If it ain’t doubled from the last don’t even think that you could bag that
Because of you, I’ve had them plans crash
I thought it over many times, to go & check it, see I stand flat
[Hook]
Because of you
I see things differently
Because of you
I see where we could be
[Verse 2: Young Prophet]
To start a business, how you plan that
The economic instability won’t have you where the sands at
Go reinvest it, Get ya bands back
My niggas broke, so all that “stocking” shit will never understand that
It’s such a shame but, who gone hand back?
If the goal is gettin’ out, who ever looks to get they man back?
And that shit crazy, how you stand that?
You ain’t a man, because of you I know exactly how to stand back
I look around like “that’s ya mans black?”
That nigga funny, please be smart with all the men you roll and laugh at
And all ya money, go and stash that
See, actin’ broke is just mental game but they don’t understand that
They say they want it, I demand that
I’m into gettin’ pockets straight, they into flexin on the gram
That
Ain’t addin’ up, who did the math jack?
Because of you I smartened up, ain’t finna crash that
Just stand back
[Outro: Dame Dash]
That’s what I do, I look at my problems
I brace my face
If I get hit, I get hit but I’m hittin’ back
I want the problems, I want the smoke cuz I know that’s the only way to evolve
You can’t get better without struggle
You can’t be great without being uncomfortable
So, I push myself to that
And that comes with struggle, it comes with fight
And when you fighting for love, everybody that fights for hate comes at you
So I’m aight with it cuz love is stronger than everything
So line them problems up so I can shut them shits the fuck down
