Verse 1:
This time-this time-this time I had to bring the flow back, melodies on tracks, I own that/But I'm good with the raps like I'm serving up shawarma, throw some Tabasco on that bad boy/Watch me snap like Kodak, my past be black like Kodak/could hardly bear like Kodiak ’til I got rid of ‘I', that's Kodak/Gave God control, you stop drop and roll, this that fire/that rock n’ roll, the grave had a rolling stone , now we lift Him higher/look, I hope this inspire, don’t let time zip right by yah/get right with God because to see you win is His desire
Hook (Mission):
Even if they tried, couldn’t hold up the blessing, I done seen a child who was holding the Wesson/Even in the trials keep forward progression, all those past lossed I seen them as lessons/I been on the grind all day and all night, Mama said “they hit you first then you sure better fight”/I learned it all with time, learned it all with time
Verse 2:
As a youngin’ I was told, I was, told that I would prob’ly go, prob’ly/go and find myself in jail, they actually took me in front of a cell, the cop said/“young boy, who just lost his mamma, you’ll be dealing with a lot of trauma/if you don’t get your head right now you’ll be dealing with a lot of drama”/I suppose it worked, I stayed on my toes, got in some trouble/but better I knew then to follow the ways of my bros, who ended up dead or imprisoned/they getting tattoos of the scriptures but I pray they read them and hope they get wisdom/I gotta get better at checking on friends in general, I hope that they listen
Hook
Verse 3:
Mama died when I was seven years old but she left me with some lessons/never let them get the best of your soul, drive you down into depression/brotha, never answer back a curse with another curse, just heap blessings/sista, never take some temporary heat as perm, just keep pressing, wooh!/your a king not a peasant, wooh! your an eagle not a pheasant, wooh!/When you learning from the past that’s a real gift, that’s why it’s called the present wooh!/every time I give you something new it’s like I’m serving you delicatessen/I just hit you with the soup, next up is the salad ‘cause there’s just some things that need addressing (a dressing)
