Let It Be Known

[Verse 1: Sayla]
Let it be known, I was always aware of the enemy – the inner me
Let it be known, I’ve taken plenty a steps for my inner peace – like a centipede
But lo and behold, beneath and below the canopy’s the centre piece – self-anarchy
With unmannerly habits and an unbashful dash of vanity
Frantically asking the heavenly, I’m shouting at clouds like “answer me answer me answer me!”
Truth of the matter be, let it known when I’m all alone – I’m never lonely
Until I won a role in your life, now I would like to thank the Academy
Glad we were never the straight-A types, cause honestly there’s nowhere else we rather B
Now I’m counting my blessings on blessings
I’m guessing the best things in life is progressing
The lessons we learning, expecting the gratitudes, rising up altitudes – I’m not returning
While you rocking frames to look bright, the real is not what you look like
Let it be known life ain't fair and lovely when your skin don’t look light
That’s why I’m reppin’ the brown earth tone
Caramel-chocolate, discriminated-on good guys
I’m on the good fight, what does it look like? I’m the flip-you-a-bird-and-cruise-on type
I’ve taken and given the bless and the curse, the reason I’m rapping and rhyming?
I’m nursing the hurt, I’m reversing the burn and swerving the yearninÄ to burn out the person who’s lurkin, observin’ and flirtin – disturbing the peace inside me
I’m conserving my energy – fuck plugs, I’m self-solar – don’t try me

[Bridge: Sayla]
Now I’m running back to the bullshit
Body-bagging these bags full of new mints
Humbly bragging about the new hit
Already done been one of the cool kids
Some of these OGs need to GO
Look like roses, smell like BO
Could’ve flipped an ON to an NO
All started OK now they KO

[Chorus: Sayla]
Let me put it on record, record
I did it for me, never needed to fake it, ay
Never trusting the wizard, the wizard is wicked, ay
The yellow brick road, do you leave or you take it?

[Verse 2: Catalyst Bars]
Let it be known if I’m in the zone
I might need a moment of silence
Remind me to be on my wave, I think I’m turning the tides
I’m in a tournament, I’ve been anonymous putting the work in
I think it’s a problem to never get deeper in level, I’m stuck on the surface
I’ve been to church but never been preaching
I’m in a precinct, walls around me, trying to leave myself
I don’t know me these days, big bills I see no faces
My tires running flat, my shoes untied the laces
I think I may be lasik, something that clouds my vision
I might need maryjane, glaucoma for my symptoms
I’ve got something missing, Trippie like I’m Redd
I need my debt redemption, I’m done with overthinking
Let it be known, I don’t know everything but I know there ain't no clones in me
And yea that to me well that’s’ a win
Win when if I’ve get the shot – that’s the start of the race, whether you like it or not

[Verse 3: Obvi]
Let it be known, I’m here for the long run
Fire lit like I’m on one, I stay real like I ought to be
My mind just hit the lottery, aim shots but they not at me
When I’m bored I play monopoly, you better have more for stopping me
I ain't change for nobody, steal shows at your party
Get your girl to get so naughty, I don’t have fear, I don’t act timid, I push limits
No gimmick, I’m so in it until I got to be out
Then I’m taking them out, that could barely count
My waves be making them drown, shit
Life is what it is, right here’s like Tyson
You want beef then bison, I smile more than cry some
So dope you should try some
I show cards I don’t hide none
No bluffing over here, every year is my year

[Bridge: Sayla]
Now I’m running back to the bullshit
Body-bagging these bags full of new mints
Humbly bragging about the new hit
Already done been one of the cool kids
Some of these OGs need to GO
Look like roses, smell like BO
Could’ve flipped an ON to an NO
All started OK now they KO

[Chorus: Sayla]
Let me put it on record, record
I did it for me, never needed to fake it, ay
Never trusting the wizard, the wizard is wicked, ay
The yellow brick road, do you leave or you take it?
