Fall ’03

[Verse 1]
What it be like?
It was dark never thought I would see light
Lotta things that I seen never seemed right
Paint a picture but I couldn't get the scene right
Let em know
Took a little bit of time out
I was trying but I couldn't get a rhyme out
Let me find out
A bind's a state of mind
But not a state of mine
Or a sign I'm confined
My design is
Alittle bit ahead of what the time is
I align with His will let me sign in
Man I tried to fit
But that ain't my shtick
That's nonsense
I don't wanna fall off
Dead body in a hearse what they haul off
I'd rather be in the hall of fame
Looking back over all I came
When I call His name
It breaks walls & chains
Mane, can’t hold me
They don’t know me
Never 2nd guess my growth & miss the old me
Nah you owe me
Owe me back like 40 acres to blacks
I shape shift the map
Wanna act loco
Hit em with numerous
Shots with the
Nevermind
Search you will never find
A one of one
I don't jump the gun
I don't run, I won
I have just begun
I'm a beast
I'm a dog
Off the leash
Set it off
That peace
It came with a cost
What you think, is never what they thought
It’s the pressure
Stemmed from depression
And the helplessness
That’s when you press in
Even the *pessimist’ll be impressed with it
That’s the lesson

[Hook]
All the rah rah, I ain’t got the time for it
My soul ain’t for sale, & you ain’t gotta dime for it
It’s what I live for, I’m ready to die for it
I’m ready to die for it

[Verse 2]
What it is though?
I was 10 years old in a Benzo
I been tense & cold with my ends low
I been rich & poor but content though
That’s real wealth
Death on my heels, couldn’t heal self
It went real left
The real left
I had to reel it in
What a real mess
That was real stress
Had to see it though
Feel it on my skin
Had to breathe it close
Took a lotta Ls
But I needed those
I needed hope
I needed wholeness
I need a rope
But to be the GOAT
First you gotta be a sheep
Man you see the globe?
It’s seeds in those
They blind
It ain’t meant for them to see it though
Now you be the scope
They need it yo
Go
