Hallmark

[Verse 1]
We're living in a space frenzy
Seems like only yesterday when everyone was friendly
And brand new J's were the only reason to envy
'Til people grew a heart
Then got it broken, that pain was heavy
But that's what made 'em ready
Had to change views, situations adapted
The pain was in your face and in your place, you reacted
Everyone you attracted, simply cause of your passion
Became some kind of fashion just to be part of that shit
I know who I owe rations to and that's exactly
Who will clock the time in every race inside this track meet
Dreams larger than Zangief
Strength that you can't beat
Look he's tryin' to talk says Thumper about Bambi
Crushes over Sherry, Destiny, Qaiyah, D'Angie
That's my starting quadrille
So if you ask me, then that's me
Started as a drummer, musical road runner
And I seen I had potential to be huge and own summers
Visions of meeting Villaraigosa in Saragosa
And I'd teach Ms. Estes something for all the things that she showed us
We all could find something to get off our chest, so what
They asked me for the mission and the real me showed up, showed up

[Hook]
Feels like every thought I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
It feels like every time I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on

[Verse 2]
Here we go, word to my Audubon days
All the way to San José
Those memories feel just hours away
I got towers of things that remain
On top of my brain
I just knew I'd make it to Denver some way...
Word to Rahim
And that's a safety statement for ya...
Vacant paces never pave the way, I pave it for ya...
They can change the way you think
But never change it for ya
If beauty's in the eye of the holder
I made Sephora for a girl with great decorum
Slap boxing... comparing hands with Vincent
Mr. Framtpon was vicious
But Hitman had the hit list
And LuMo had the beats in San José
Remember when I met ya
But we never went back
Cause we recorded during lectures, uh

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Ahh... can you hear me now? (2x)
Said can you hear me now?
Shit I'm dressed in success and I'm 'bout to wear it down
This is the silent awareness effect
I'm engineering me and I am in here in the jet
And I made the mission back
Let me explain
In case you didn't get where my head was at
Planned it, orchestrated, waited...
Through the pain in which made a beautiful painting
For a musical statement...
Made cuts for everything I cut in case I'm too abrasive
They asked me for concrete evidence
And I paved the pavement
Knew you would make it if you tried my dude
This is what happens when you decide to fly my nigga
Goin' against the odds despite the size my dude
Diving inside the clouds like the sky's my pool
Put time and effort inside to exercise my
Mind and defy the physics of fear, I gotta rise my
Nigga, defy the physics of fear, I gotta rise my dude
View the spectrum of the world like a collage
Through these eyes
I came into this world tryin' to live a life of
A vision of what you're epitomizing
Not realizing that if we're alive, then
Nigga we are Zion, that's only if you're striving
To keep it real, tell me if you're feeling real
Your brother like Rugrats
I'm your twin whenever you're Phil & Lil (feeling little)
Shit comes alive in the midst of your passion
Only thing missing is an address
With a mansion to seal the deal
So if you ever decide to approach me with the question
I'll tell you my biggest lesson's learned from everything I feel for real

[Hook]

[Outro]
Yeah...
